Part-time Police Job: Nigeria Force To Engage 15,000 Special Constables
The Nigeria Police Force has concluded plans to engage thousands of Special Constables to work with conventional policemen in our communities
The necessary steps has been taken including the presidential backing and it is expected to start in Kaduna and other northern states where the traditional emirate and district structures support the system.
As special Constables, they are expected to handle charge room and administrative duties, crowd control, accident scene duties, alternative dispute resolution and other less sensitive and less risky functions. They are to dress in police uniform but with a different force number to distinguish them from the regular cops and not expected to be harmed.
our source learnt that respectable members of the society like pastors, imams, teachers, lawyers, journalists and responsible youths would be considered for the eight-hour shift volunteer job as part of measures to check rising insecurity in Nigeria.
The Police Public Relations Officer, DCP Frank Mba, confirmed the plan and explained that the candidates for the constabulary would be between the ages of 21-50, and must be physically fit and gainfully employed.
He stated, “Our focus is to pursue a technologically-driven Police Force to reduce the number of policemen on the road. So, we’ve decided to introduce the special constabulary system which involves the recruitment of voluntary citizens to work as part-time policemen.”
Mba also revealed that the special constable will be recruited from their immediate constituency where they would work with the conventional policemen. Adding that they would not be paid as they could work at the police station taking complaints and assisting with traffic control.
