THE Zimbabwe Republic Police has launched a nationwide recruitment exercise as part of ongoing institutional reforms aimed at strengthening its human resources base and boosting public confidence through restructuring and rebranding.
Authorities have, however, warned members of the public to guard against fraudsters who may exploit the process by demanding money in exchange for promised recruitment.
In a statement, national police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi said the exercise targets suitably qualified Zimbabwean citizens to join the force in various categories, including general duty constables, construction technicians and artisans and tailor technicians.
“The Zimbabwe Republic Police is recruiting suitably qualified candidates who are Zimbabwean citizens, physically fit, to join the organisation as general duty constables and train for a Diploma in Police Studies at Morris Police Academy, an affiliate of the University of Zimbabwe,” he said.
Applicants for general duty constable positions must be aged between 18 and 22, possess at least five ‘O’ Level passes including Mathematics, English and a Science subject obtained in not more than two sittings, and meet strict physical requirements.
Candidates are expected to be physically fit, with minimum height requirements of 1,68 metres and 57kg for males, and 1.60 metres and 55kg for females.
They should also be able to complete a 5km road run within 20 minutes for males and 25 minutes for females.
Comm Nyathi said general duty constables will undergo a one-year training programme.
The recruitment drive also targets construction technicians and artisans aged between 18 and 30, including bricklayers, carpenters, tilers, plumbers, painters, electricians, welders, boilermakers and refrigeration mechanics.
Applicants in this category must have at least five ‘O’ Level passes, including English and Mathematics, obtained in not more than three sittings, as well as relevant professional qualifications such as a journeyman class one certificate, national certificate or diploma.
Technician positions are also available in fields such as civil engineering, quantity surveying and architecture, with similar academic and professional requirements, including a relevant national certificate or diploma and practical experience.
The ZRP is further recruiting tailor technicians in areas such as industrial clothing technology, fashion design and garment construction.
