The National Police Service Commission (NPSC) has cautioned members of the public against a fraudulent recruitment notice making rounds on social media.
In a statement on Tuesday, September 9, the commission confirmed that the notice is fake and intended to mislead unsuspecting applicants.
“The National Police Service Commission has noted with concern a fake recruitment notice circulating on social media purporting to announce the recruitment of police constables and directing applicants to an unauthorized online link,” the statement read.
NPSC warned the public to ignore the misleading message and only rely on official communication platforms for accurate information.
“The Commission wishes to advise the public to disregard this misinformation and clarify that any official communication on recruitment will only be issued through established channels, namely: The Commission’s official website, mainstream media and verified social media platforms,” the statement added.
The Commission reassured Kenyans that a genuine recruitment drive is in the works and that updates will be communicated at the appropriate time.
“In accordance with its Constitutional mandate, the Commission notified the public that preparations for a legitimate recruitment exercise are underway.
“The Commission therefore urges members of the public to remain vigilant and ignore fraudulent notices intended to mislead and exploit unsuspecting applicants,” the statement further read.
