Appointment Letters to Follow Verification

According to the Service, the issuance of appointment letters will commence only after the verification exercise is fully concluded.

Officials gave assurances that the entire process has been managed in a transparent and fair manner, with no shortcuts made at any stage.

The Ghana Police Service has not yet announced a specific date for the release of the final list or the commencement of letter issuance, but indicated that both steps are expected to follow shortly once the validation work is complete.
