He noted that successful candidates will proceed to a screening stage before undergoing training, which is planned to last one to two weeks at designated police training institutions, before deployment.

He encouraged successful applicants to serve with commitment and discipline, and advised those who may not make it to remain hopeful for future opportunities.
