Police commissioner Augustina Ogbodo disclosed this on Thursday in Abakaliki.
Ms Ogbodo said the screening started on Monday and had been hitch-free.
The police chief explained that the recruitment was to boost the manpower of the Police Force not only in Ebonyi but across the country.
“The screening had been hitch-free since day one. It has been orderly to ensure that only certified and qualified applicants are screened.
“Yes, we are picking the most qualified applicants, and you know, the exercise is free,” the police commissioner said.
