Fire Officer Advises Qualified Security Service Applicants, “Don’t Forget Your Prescriptions”

The Fire Service has urged aspiring security service personnel to exercise caution ahead of the upcoming medical screening scheduled to begin on March 16, 2027, according to the Ministry of Interior.

Speaking in a video addressed to applicants, Fire Officer Ekow Kakra emphasised the importance of adhering to proper medical protocols, particularly for those taking medications, including painkillers.

Officer Kakra advised candidates to carry a valid doctor’s prescription for any strong treatment or remedies they are using.

He warned that traces of unprescribed substances in the bloodstream could lead to immediate disqualification from the recruitment process.

“If you know you are taking any strong painkiller, ensure you attend the screening with a doctor’s prescription. Any unprescribed d.rugs detected will lead to disqualification. Don’t waste your money if you cannot meet these requirements,” he shared.

The guidance seeks to prevent unnecessary disqualifications and ensure that all applicants meet the health standards required for service in the Fire Service, Police Service, and other security agencies under the Ministry of Interior.
