Navigating the Challenges of Contacting the Police Recruitment Team

Many applicants have reported difficulties in reaching the police recruitment team. Often, phone calls go unanswered, and emails receive no response. This can be frustrating, but there are ways to navigate these challenges.
 

Steps to Take 

1. Visit Your Local Police Station: If you are applying from outside NCD, Port Moresby, visit your local police station and speak to a high-ranking officer. Avoid lower-level officers and reservists, as they may not have the necessary information. 
 
2. Connect with Recent Recruits: Reach out to someone who was successful in the last recruitment drive. They can provide valuable insights and guidance on the process. 
 
3. Visit the Recruitment Team: If possible, visit the police recruitment team in person to get firsthand information. This direct approach can often yield better results. 
 
4. Ask a Reliable Contact: If you know someone reliable, ask them to follow up or visit the recruitment team on your behalf. This can be especially helpful if you are unable to visit in person. 
 
5. Speak to Trusted Police Personnel: If you know a trustworthy police officer, seek their advice and assistance. They may have direct contacts within the recruitment team. 
 
6. Check Local Media: Regularly check local newspapers and listen to radio stations for information on application forms, dates, and recruitment drives

How to Apply for PNG Police CADET Recruit 2025

The application process for the 60 spots for Police Cadet Training is similar to the Police Trainees’ Training mentioned above. You must complete the right application form and submit it together with your CV online. 
 
To be eligible you must
  • have a tertiary qualification, either a tertiary diploma or degree,
  • be between 25 and 35 years of age,
  • have outstanding written and spoken English,
  • must be physically fit and
  • should have no criminal records.
  • Above all, you must be a willing servant to the people.

Important Reminders 

  • Avoid Bribes: Do not offer bribes, such as giving lunch money or other incentives. This is a community service, and officers are public servants who should assist you without any extra payments. If any policeman/woman asks for cash or kind, record their faces and report them.
  • Limited Intake: Be aware that there are only 500 intakes every year out of thousands of applications. The Bomana Police College has a capacity of less than 250 recruits, and training is conducted in batches. If you are fortunate, you may be selected in the first batch. 
  • Patience and Persistence: Be patient and persistent in following your dreams. The recruitment process can be competitive, but with determination, you can succeed.We hope these tips help you in your application process for the Papua New Guinea Police Recruitment.
