ZRP to review entry requirements

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) will review its educational entry requirements and entry requirements. This was said by the Police Commissioner General Augustine Chihuri when he officiated at Friday’s ZRP Staff College graduation ceremony in Harare.

Said Chihuri:

Very soon, the organisation will review its recruitment policies in keeping with global trends and demands of the job. The immediate consequence of such action would be upward review of educational qualifications of a police recruit. Necessarily, this will raise the bar for promotion exercises. This should not cause anyone to panic. But I trust that you also agree that it is high time we upped the tempo. I’m also hopeful that Staff College will take time to also introduce additional courses that address novel policing challenges such as forensic science, forensic psychology, research and development.

The present minimum entry requirements into ZRP at constable level include being aged between 18 and 30 years, and having five Ordinary Level passes (Grade C or better) in not more than three sittings, with English Language and Mathematics being compulsory.
