NPSC Warns Public Over Fake Police Recruitment Site Ahead of Mass Applications
The National Police Service Commission (NPSC) has raised alarm over a fake recruitment site targeting thousands of hopeful applicants. Just days after resolving internal disputes over the hiring of 10,000 police constables, the commission now faces a new threat—online fraud.
“Disregard This Misinformation”
On Tuesday, NPSC issued a stern warning to the public. Fraudulent recruitment links have surfaced online, misleading applicants with false promises.
“The National Police Service Commission has noted with concern a fake recruitment notice circulating on social media,” the statement read.
“It purports to announce the recruitment of police constables and directs applicants to an unauthorised online link.”
The commission urged Kenyans to ignore such links and rely only on official communication.
“Any official communication on recruitment will only be issued through established channels,” NPSC emphasized.
These include the commission’s website, mainstream media, and verified social media platforms.
“Remain Vigilant”
NPSC stressed the importance of public awareness. Scammers are exploiting unsuspecting applicants, many of whom are desperate for employment.
“The Commission therefore urges members of the public to remain vigilant and ignore fraudulent notices,” the statement continued.
“We Will Follow the Law”
Speaking on Saturday, NPSC Chairperson Amani Komora assured the public that the recruitment will follow legal guidelines.
“The commission will adhere to the National Police Service Commission Recruitment and Appointment Regulations Act, 2025,” Komora stated.
This announcement followed a high-level meeting with Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja. The meeting resolved a long-standing impasse between uniformed and non-uniformed commission members.
“Cadets Will Report in November”
The recruitment aims to fill a workforce gap that has persisted since 2022. All new cadets will report to designated police colleges on November 17.
This exercise is critical for strengthening national security and restoring public trust in the recruitment process.
“Don’t Fall for Scams”
As preparations continue, NPSC urges Kenyans to stay informed and cautious. Fake recruitment sites not only exploit applicants but also undermine the integrity of the police service.
“We want every applicant to be protected from fraud,” Komora added.
The commission promises transparency and fairness. But for now, it’s asking the public to wait—and to watch out.
