Importance of Strict Screening Processes

The recent cases of applicants testing positive for illicit substances highlight the importance of strict screening processes in the police recruitment drive. 

The authorities are committed to maintaining the integrity of the recruitment process by conducting thorough medical, physical, and academic checks to ensure that only qualified and suitable candidates are recruited into the police force. 

The use of illicit drugs is illegal and goes against the values and responsibilities of a police officer.
