**Police Constable Screening in Lagos: What You Need to Know**
As the Nigeria Police Force gets set to hold the physical and credential screening exercise for applicants into the General Duty and Specialist Police Constables, Lagos State residents are advised to take note. Starting from Monday, March 9, 2026, and running through Saturday, April 18, 2026, the screening exercise will be held daily from 7:00 am at the Police College, Ikeja.
If you're an indigene of Lagos State who has successfully completed the online registration for the 2025/2026 recruitment exercise, make sure you're ready for the screening. The exercise is a crucial step in the hiring process, and it's essential to get it right.
To ensure a smooth screening process, the Lagos State Police Command has made it clear what documents you need to bring along. In two neatly arranged white flat files, you'll need to present:

Don't forget to package your original and duplicate copies of all credentials in two separate white flat files, with recent passport photographs attached. On the day of the screening, dress in clean white T-shirts and white shorts.
It's worth noting that the screening exercise is free of charge and will be conducted on merit, following professional and transparent standards. If you're approached by anyone demanding payment or gratification in connection with the exercise, report them to the authorities immediately.
To avoid any last-minute hiccups, make sure to adhere strictly to your scheduled dates and all other guidelines provided. The Lagos State Police Command is committed to ensuring a smooth and successful screening exercise, and your cooperation is essential in achieving this goal.
