The Departmental Selection Board (DSB) interview for Inspectors due for promotion to the next rank of unconfirmed Assistant Superintendents of Police (ASP 2) begins today, May 19, in all the 17 Police Zonal Command headquarters across the federation.
The promotion interview will be jointly supervised by the PSC and senior police officers.
Hon Commissioners in the Commission are expected to monitor the exercise in their geo-political zones to ensure that the credibility of the exercise is not diluted.
Chairman of the Commission, DIG Hashimu Argungu, had earlier warned that the promotion interview is not a do or die exercise, insisting that the Commission would deal with anyone trying to compromise its integrity.
The PSC Chairman noted that promotion and its processes in the Nigeria Police Force would always be based on merit and availability of vacancies.
He also advised the police officers scheduled for the promotion interview to be prepared to face the interview panel and earn their promotion.
DIG Argungu said the Commission is committed to building a new police culture where merit, competence, and ability to innovate are paramount, especially in this era of intelligence policing.
He advised the candidates to have confidence in the system and allow for a smooth and credible exercise.
