THE government is to recruit 280,000 police officers, Minister of Police Affairs, Capt. Caleb Olubolade (retd.), has said.
Speaking in Abuja on Tuesday, Olubolade, who put the number of the country’s serving police officers at 370,000, said there were plans to increase it to 650,000.
He said while 90 per cent of the policemen would be trained in modern policing tactics and weapons handling.
According to the minister, the move is aimed at reforming the police and making it more responsive to meet the security challenges facing the country.
He said modern digital trunking communication network and equipment for tracking kidnappers and other criminals had been acquired for the police.
Olubolade said about 1110 policemen had been trained in counter-terrorism and rapid response programme, basic intelligence course, patrol duties and operation course.
Others are traffic management course, train-the-trainer, intelligence lead surveillance course curriculum development and effective leadership in public protection, intervention, mobilisation and sensitisation training.
According to him, the government has provided about nine Bell helicopters for the police as well as some quantity of arms and ammunitions including various types of Amoured Personnel carriers and body protection armour (Bullet proof vests).
The minister stated that the police received fund from the Education Trust Fund for implementation of various projects at the Police Academy, Kano to the tune of N580m.
Olubolade stated that in 2011, the police recorded 879 robbery cases and 366 kidnappings while 1,609 suspects were arrested and 766 firearms and 31, 175 ammunition recovered from the suspects.
He said, "Boko Haram insurgence is predominant in the northern states of the country; 118 Boko Haram attacks were reported in Bauchi, Borno, Kaduna, Niger, Yobe , Plateau States and the FCT where 308 victims lost their lives and 33 suspects arrested."

Police Boss Recruit Police from the NYSC (Corpers) who have served and who are serving now to sanitize Nigeria Police.The last recruitment exercise was a mess.Borrow an ideal from INEC Boss (Prof Jega) Give the recruitment exercise to a neutral body to curb the execsses of god-fathers or Naira influences.

Gud day, followers on dis trend. i wnt u 2 kw dat npf recruitment is twice in a year i.e the first one, is recruitment 4 constables(rank nd file position) d requirement is ssce only. d 2nd recruitment is 4 cadet inspectors (ND/NCE) plus asst supt of police [ASP position] Qualification(Bsc/ HND). also it is not easy bcos it involve a lot of processes although not somtin much but d simplest of it all is d recritment for constables. dat one is very easy but u wil b rank low.
