Over 140 new police recruits will commence their six (6) months training today Monday 28^th July at the National Center of Excellence (NCoE) at Bomana just outside the city of Port Moresby. Over the weekend recruits from all four provinces of the Momase Region, the Oro province and Western province arrived at the Jackson's Domestic terminal on Saturday while the rest from Port Moresby along with Central and Gulf provinces joined them on Sunday. According to the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary (RNGC), this group makes up the first batch for 2025. A formal handover of the recruits was done at NCoE, Bomana, where the Officer in Charge for Recruitment Inspector Elisha Walaget handed over their Duplicate Record of Service (DRS) Files to the Director of Training, Superintendent Charlie Sare. Meanwhile, the list for those shortlisted from the Highlands and New Guinea Islands Regions for the second batch will be published on the RPNGC’s Official website once the list is finalized. The Recruitment Process for the second batch will commence in October or November 2025 to assess those shortlisted and recruit the successful candidates for training. The second batch is likely to come in for training in the first quarter of 2026 once the recruitment process is completed. "A call-out for the 2026 Recruitment will be advertised in December 2025 and we encourage those interested in joining the next recruitment to prepare their documents and stay informed by regularly checking the RPNGC’s Official website and Facebook page for recruitment announcement," stated the RPNGC.
