The vetting of 180 more senior police officers is scheduled to start by the end of January.
This was after the National Police Service Commission sought the public views on 66 Senior Assistant Commissioners of Police and 115 Assistant Commissioners of Police. Some of them have so far opted not to face the vetting panel.
The panel will be divided into four different groups before they start the exercise. The public has until January 17 to submit their views before the commission starts the exercise a week later.
This was announced in an advert placed in the local media on Saturday with the names of the targeted officers who will include deputy PPOs, CID bosses and their deputies and other commanders.
Plans are to include some of those officers who were successful in the first and second phase of the exercise in vetting panels to fast track the next process.
Apart from the public questioning, the officers were supplied with a kit, which among others sought to establish if the police officers have ever been involved in activities of illegal groupings, cartels, banned societies and political parties.
