In an EMTV report, the Deputy Commissioner Clarkson of Administration clarified that while 24 applicants were disqualified on other medical grounds, such as eye tests, neck nodes related to tuberculosis, and pregnancy, four applicants were disqualified due to positive drug tests.

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.

PNG Police Recruitment 2023 is ongoing

The screening process for the PNG Police Recruitment 2023 is ongoing, with different regions conducting their screening from May to June. 

The recent cases of applicants testing positive for illicit substances highlight the need for strict screening processes to ensure the recruitment of qualified and suitable candidates into the police force. 

Final words...

All in all, it is crucial for all applicants to adhere to the rules and regulations of the recruitment process and refrain from any illegal activities, including drug use. 

Further updates on the selection and training will be provided as the process progresses.

PNG Police Recruitment 2023 Selection and Training Updates

PNG Police Recruitment 2023: PNG Insight saw nearly 50,000 page views on this page at the closing date, 20th January 2023. The recruiting agent (PNG Job Seek) will have a lot of work to do when shortlisting the potential candidates for interviews.

If you have applied, here is what is likely to happen during the next stage leading up to training.

PNG Police Recruitment 2023, what next? 

So, you applied for the PNG Police Recruitment 2023, what's next? The recruiting agent will screen the applications sent online. It's part of the recruitment process. But with 30,000 applications and only 560 spots, it is a gigantic screening task.

Understandably, not everyone will receive a response except for those that are shortlisted for the 500 Police Trainees and 60 Cadet Officer spots. 

If you get a response, you should be proud of yourself.

Here are the stages of an organisation's recruitment process:

• Stage 1 - You submit the application - DONE
• Stage 2 - You'll be invited for a formal interview. - DONE (The Shortlist for interviews is out on Monday 27th March 2023. However, it is not made available online yet - but, check here to get the screenshots we compiled into PDF for you to download. )
• Stage 3 - Candidates interview - DONE
• Stage 4 - Candidates informed (shortlisted candidates/name list released)
• Stage 6 - Medicals, registration & admission
• Stage 7 - Training commences.

Important: Note that this is not the formal recruitment process for the PNG Police Recruitment 2023. It is the standard recruitment process that many organisations use during recruitment and training. 

PNG Job Seek and Police Training Offices have done the selections. The shortlist for NCD, Central and Gulf was released on Monday 27th March 2023. It appeared in the daily newspaper, here is the PDF we compiled from the Post Courier for the 3 provinces - download here.

How long does police recruitment take?

The police recruitment for this year ended on Friday the 20th of January 2023 which is the first step in the recruitment process. If you think about it, the first stage took about 5 weeks.

Next, the recruitment agent or police trainers will screen the applications and shortlist the potential candidates for interviews. 

Then,  the actual interview takes place. That means that either PNG Job Seek or Police, (whoever does the selection) will go through 30,000 applications. It is likely to take longer than anticipated.

So, be patient!

In hindsight, the RPNGC does the right thing by offloading the recruitment to the agent, because they will do a good job identifying the 560 final police trainees. Also, they are likely to keep to the deadline.

Meanwhile, the RPNG and PNG Job Seek have NOT indicated anything about the dates for interviews and training yet. Watch this space.

Police in PNG lack Manpower

No recruitment for Police trainees happened in 2020. In 2021, the RPNGC trained some reserve police personnel to add to the manpower during the elections. 

The then Police Minister Bryan Kramer said in 2020 that PNG currently has a total of 7,200 police officers. This number serves the whole country.

There is a greater need to empower the police force, including the Corrections Services (CIS) and PNG Defence Force (PNGDF). (Check the links for more details). 

More so, there is a need for morally upstanding policemen and policewomen. 

In recent months, the PNG police and defence forces command released promising training and recruitment updates. There's an emphasis on long-term training and discipline.

See the police's new training modules that the police commissioner alluded to below.

2023 Police Training and New Syllabus

In a Post Courier report on the 24th of July 2022, the commissioner said they are upgrading the police training syllabus to 18 months (from 6 months). This is a massive improvement.

In 2023 and onwards, the new police recruits will undergo 

• 6 months of basic policing, law and order theory at Bomana Police College; and 
• 12 months of practicum at the police stations assigned to them.

At the police stations, the new recruits will:

• learn about the operations of stations,
• perform shifts,
• learn the basics of prosecutions and investigations.

The main area of the 12 months practicum will focus on installing discipline in the new trainees. And also, educate them on the basics of applied prosecutions, investigation of criminals and traffic rules & engagements.

PNGDF Military Cadet Programme 2023 Recruitment for 2024

Papua New Guinea Defence Force (PNGDF) Commander Major-General Mark Goina says his administration is looking to reintroduce the school military cadet programme. The PNGDF Military Cadet Programme 2023 Recruitment for 2024 is now awaiting the approval of the PNG government.

Update: Click here for the latest updates on Police recruitment, screening and training for the other regions, including Milne Bay, Northern South-Fly, and North-Fly.

Here is a brief overview of the programme.

History

The PNG Defence Force Commander said the PNGDF Military Cadet Programme existed in pre-Independence, in the 1960s and early 1970s, in schools. 

The Marape Government was keen on reintroducing the programme in 2023.

Importance of PNGDF Cadet Programme

The PNGDF Military Cadet Programme is vital for instilling discipline and command and building good character among the younger generation.

“PNGDF will play a supporting role in this programme that would be headed by the reserve force legislation.” PNG Force (PNGDF) Commander Major-General Mark Goina.  

PNGDF Military Cadet Programme 2023

The PNGDF Cadet programme will come in three stages

1. Reserve force, 
2. Youth programme and
3. School cadet programme.

The youth programme had started, run by the PNGDF’s reserves, capability and development branch.

The intent is to allow the youths to go through a programme in collaboration with the National Youth Services and other government agencies and departments that deal with youths.

Awaiting PNG Government Approval

The PNG Defence Force made a submission to the PNG government and is awaiting approval from the National Executive Council (NEC). 

PNGDF is hoping that the submission will go through Parliament and be enacted into law.

The PNGDF Reserve Force Branch is ready to roll out the PNGDF Cadet Programme when the government gives the approval.

PNGDF Recruitment 2023 - DHERST

The PNGDF would recruit new intakes next year in collaboration with the Department of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology (DHERST).

“Going in 2023 onwards, all applicants will come through the school leavers’ form, we have established a collaboration with the higher education department to assist and screen through our requirements.” PNG Force (PNGDF) Commander Major-General Mark Goina.

If the applicants are successful they will be recruiting with the PNG Defence Force as early as next year, 2023, for 2024.

How to apply for PNGDF Military Cadet Programme 2023 Recruitment for 2024?

It is still early, but we know that the PNGDF cadet programme will be run by the PNGDF under the reserve force umbrella programme.

Selection will be done by the higher education department. That means that the Grade 12 students must apply through the National Online Application System (NOAS).

In fact, this is a better way to do the selection and run the programme as it cuts out the 'middle-man' in the selection process.

The RPNGC police recruitment 2023 has taken its 2022 recruitment online to ease the process of selection and recruitment.

It appears that the PNGDF Cadet programme will be directly supported by the PNG Government under the TESAS (HECAS & AES) scholarship scheme if/when the students are selected through NOAS. Also, students can enter as non-school leavers and get selected as self-sponsored students. This remains to be seen for now.

Meanwhile, if you are a 2023 Grade 12 school leaver, ask your school for that latest information as you fill in your online school leavers form this year. 

School Leavers DHERST selection

The selection through the DHERST's NOAS is the best way forward for PNGDF. 

This education blog hopes that the RPNGC (Police) and CIS (Warder) also follow the same selection and recruitment channel.

Select the Grade 12 school leavers through DHERST's NOAS, recruit them into the programmes and train them to be better citizens.

New police clearance certificate with security features launched (MEDIA STATEMENT)

The Police Crimes Division launched on Monday a new police clearance certificate with security features.

Assistant Commissioner Crimes Hodges Ette said the issuance of the new certificates will prevent false police clearance certificates from being issued. The new Police Clearance Certificate which was launched at the Crime Division conference room at the police headquarters in Port Moresby was witnessed by senior police officers as well as staff from the Crimes Division and Interpol.

Mr Ette said the new police clearance certificate came into effect on Monday 15 November. Certificates issued prior will remain valid until March 2022. He said the RPNGC is changing the old police clearance certificate that has been used for the last 46 years since independence.

“The old format of producing police clearance certificates has been abused, and fraudulently used. People are printing them outside of the actually established system. We have fraudsters producing police clearance certificates fraudulently. The constabulary has been accused of facilitating or fraudulently producing false documents,” Mr Ette said.

Mr Ette however said that the police clearance certificate was previously done at a small administrative fee of K10.00 which was increased to K65.00 this year. He said Police make about K9,000.00 per day especially from the applications received in the National Capital District. He added that so far this year the Constabulary was able to collect K800,000.00 in police clearance fees.

“This particular certificate comes in three categories one for citizens, another one for expatriates and we also developed for PMVs as well. I am sure Motor Vehicle Insurance Limited (MVIL) and the transport sector will also be interested,” Mr Ette said, adding that certain categories would be put in with a reasonable fee at a future date. For instance, a person trying to get a job as a security guard will pay K65.00 but if they are trying to become the head of a government department they may pay up to K1,000.00 for the certificate.

Mr Ette said police are in the process of developing a work based system that can be accessed anywhere in the country. This system will also be of interest to various stakeholders including the National Statistical Office (NSO), Foreign Affairs and others.

Mr Ette said the new certificate with the security features will cost zero Kina to develop.

Eastern Highlands Police Reservist Program 2022 Recruitment

Police Commissioner and Controller of the PNG COVID-19 National Pandemic Response, David Manning, has endorsed the Eastern Highlands Province Police Reservist program to beef up police manpower to address COVID-19 and policing challenges in the province. 

Commissioner Manning when signing the memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Eastern Highland Governor Peter Numu on Thursday this week highlighted that Police Reservice have been a great asset to the Constabulary in the early days however, it was discontinued due to the lack of proper command and control.

“With the current COVID-19 crisis coupled with the ongoing law and order situation across the country, we have agreed to revive the Police Reservists program in partnership with provincial governments and other statutory bodies under the revised policies and command structure.

“I want to commend Governor Numu and his administration for the initiative and the commitment to partner with the Constabulary in reviving the police reservist program in their province. This is a win-win approach for the Constabulary and the Province in addressing the current COVID-19 crisis and law and order issues going forward,” Manning said.

Mr Manning further said that the Eastern Highland Province is among the few provinces that have come on board and are currently running similar programs in their respective provinces.

Mr Manning said the Constabulary has set the target to recruit 1,100 Police reservist personnel before the 2022 national general election.

Eastern Highland Governor Peter Numu thanked the Commissioner for the endorsement and his vision to revive the reservist program to address the lack of police manpower in the provinces.

Governor Numu also announced that the Eastern Highlands Police Reservist program will commence with the first 220 successful applicants to undertake reservist training.

“Under my administration, we are ready to run this program and the first batch of 220 successful applicants will go into training immediately. We need more police manpower to assist us with the COVID-19 operations and general policing thus we have taken such drastic action. This is the biggest reservist recruitment compared to other provinces and my administration will continue to sustain this program,” Governor Numu concluded.
