Shortlisted candidates will receive interview call letters. Applicants will not be entitled to travel or daily allowances for appearing in the physical test, written examination or interview.

Those selected after the recruitment process will undergo a medical examination at Police & Services Hospital in Peshawar. Successful candidates will then be required to complete six months of mandatory training, or the duration prescribed by the department, and pass the required examinations.
Selected candidates must also provide a Police Clearance Certificate before receiving an appointment offer. They will be required to sign a surety bond confirming their acceptance of the service conditions.
