Police jobs in Pakistan 2026 are open right now in the Islamabad Capital Territory Police: the Dolphin Force is hiring 790 personnel, and applications close on 15 November 2026. This hub covers every police force in the country, which ones are hiring today, the eligibility and physical standards constable recruitment normally asks for, and how the selection process runs from advertisement to training.
Police hiring in Pakistan is provincial: each force advertises its own posts, on its own dates, with its own test. There is no single national police form. The sections below separate what is open now from what is not, so you do not waste effort on a closed or rumoured recruitment.
Police Jobs Open Now (Checked 5 November 2026)
| Force | Posts | Last date |
|---|---|---|
| ICT Police Dolphin Force | 790 (Sub-Inspector 2, Assistant Sub-Inspector 38, Constable 750) | 15 November 2026 |
| National Highways and Motorway Police (via NJP Balochistan drive) | Part of the drive’s department listings | By post, to 30 November 2026 |
The Dolphin Force recruitment is the one large police opening in the country this month: online applications only, through the National Police Foundation testing portal at npftas.pk, with education from Matric for constables to a Bachelor’s degree for Sub-Inspectors. The Motorway Police appears inside the National Job Portal’s Balochistan Employment Initiative for Balochistan domicile holders. Full detail for both sits in the linked guides; every other force below is listed with its honest current status.
The Police Forces of Pakistan
Each province fields its own police: Punjab Police, Sindh Police, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police and Balochistan Police, alongside the Islamabad Capital Territory Police for the federal capital, the National Highways and Motorway Police for the motorways, and specialised bodies such as the Punjab Safe Cities Authority, which runs the camera and control-room network and hires its own staff. Alongside them sit the paramilitary and security forces people often group with the police: the Airports Security Force, the Rangers and the Frontier Corps, each recruiting through its own channels. Knowing which force you want matters, because a Punjab domicile holder applies to Punjab Police recruitments, not to Sindh’s.
Police Constable Eligibility: Age, Education and Physical Standards
Constable recruitment across the forces follows a recognisable pattern, though every advertisement is final for its own drive: age usually 18 to 25 years (the Dolphin Force allows 18 to 25 plus the standard 5-year general relaxation), education Matric for constables and higher for ASI and Sub-Inspector ranks, and domicile of the province or territory doing the hiring. Physical standards in recent advertisements have typically asked male candidates for a height around 5 feet 7 inches with a chest measurement around 33 by 34.5 inches, and a running test of about 1.6 kilometres in roughly 7 to 8 minutes; women candidates get their own standards in the same advertisement. Treat these figures as preparation targets only: read the numbers in the advertisement you are applying to, because forces adjust them between drives.
How Police Recruitment Works, Step by Step
A police recruitment runs in a fixed order. First the advertisement appears with posts, quotas and the closing date. Applications are filed the way the ad directs, online through a testing portal for drives like Dolphin Force, or on paper forms for some provincial drives. Then come the physical tests: height, chest and running, which are pass or fail on the day. Candidates who clear the physical stage sit a written test, usually run by a testing service, covering English, Urdu, mathematics, general knowledge and basic reasoning. A medical examination and an interview follow, and final merit lists are published before training begins at a police training school. Failing any stage ends that application; there is no fee, agent or recommendation that reopens it.
Forces Not Hiring Right Now
As checked on 5 November 2026, Punjab Police, Sindh Police and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police have no open constable advertisement; Sindh’s last large constable drive has closed, and advertisements circulating on social media for these forces should be treated as old until the force’s own website or a newspaper advertisement confirms a new one. When a force does open recruitment, the announcement appears on its official website and in national newspapers on the same days; that is the signal to trust, not a forwarded image.
Prepare While You Wait: Fitness and Documents
Candidates lose police selections on preparation, not on forms. Build running fitness gradually toward the 1.6 kilometre standard in the months before a drive opens, because it cannot be built in the final week. Keep your documents in one folder: CNIC, domicile, Matric certificate and character certificate where asked, all current and matching in name spelling. And keep watching the announcements: provincial forces open large constable intakes without long warning, and the candidates who apply in the first days are the ones whose documents were already ready.
Check the official channel before you trust any police jobs post: Dolphin Force applications run through npftas.pk, and provincial forces publish new advertisements on their own websites and in national newspapers. A forwarded screenshot or a social media page asking for a fee is not an official announcement, and no genuine police recruitment asks for payment through a personal account.
If the Dolphin Force closing date of 15 November 2026 passes, your next chance is the next provincial intake, so use the waiting time to prepare your fitness, documents and test practice. New constable advertisements usually open with short notice, and candidates who are ready on day one are the ones who make it through the physical tests.
Police Jobs FAQs

Follow the advertisement: drives like Dolphin Force take online applications through a testing portal, while some provincial drives use paper forms at district police lines. Never apply through an agent or a social media link.
Some drives charge a modest testing fee through the official channel named in the advertisement, and some, like the National Job Portal drives, are free. Pay only what the official advertisement itself states, only through its stated method.
