Recruitment scam
The Ghana Police service has in recent times been hit with a number of recruitment scam.
The service in June recorded another recruitment scam involving a number of young men and women hit the Ghana Police service last week.
Over 500 people were given recruitment letters after allegedly paying between GH¢1,500 to GH¢2,500 and asked to report at the training depots last Friday.
The Police have since arrested three men for their alleged involvement in the scam.
A similar enlistment scam that hit the service earlier in 2015.
Some officials of the Police Service were later implicated in the scam including the Service’s Director-General in-charge of Human Resource, COP Patrick Timbilla.
