According to the announcement, applicants must be of Nigerian origin by birth and must have selected the Nigeria Police Academy as their first choice during the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
A minimum UTME score of 180 is required, alongside at least six credits in no more than two sittings in WAEC or NECO, including English and Mathematics. Only SSCE results from 2021 onwards will be accepted.

Importantly, applicants must be unmarried and not pregnant at the time of admission.
Interested candidates are to visit admission.polac.edu.ng to generate a Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) and pay a non-refundable fee of ₦6,000, which covers both the application and Post-UTME screening. After payment at any commercial bank, applicants are expected to fill the form online and upload their credentials, including SSCE results, birth certificate, certificate of origin, and other relevant documents.
Upon completion, applicants are required to print the completed application form along with a guarantor form which must be submitted at the screening venue.
The selection process includes a computer-based aptitude test, physical screening, medical screening, and a final interview/selection exercise.
Shortlisted candidates must present original documents and certificates from reputable sources, including a certificate of fitness from a government hospital and a guarantor form signed by a senior official.
Degree programmes are available in various faculties including Humanities, Sciences, and Social and Management Sciences. Some of the featured courses include English, Computer Science, Criminology, Biochemistry, Political Science, and Education Management.
Successful candidates will undergo five years of rigorous academic and police training, culminating in the award of a bachelor’s degree and commissioning as Assistant Superintendent of Police II (ASP II) in the Nigeria Police Force.
Applicants are urged to provide valid phone numbers and email addresses, as successful candidates will be contacted through these channels. The date for the aptitude test will be communicated in due course.
