The Centralized Services E‑Recruitment Portal 2026 (CSERP) is Ghana’s official online system for applicants seeking jobs in the major internal security agencies.
CSERP brings all recruitment applications for the Ghana Police Service, Ghana Immigration Service, Ghana National Fire Service, and Ghana Prisons Service under one platform.
CSERP was introduced to reduce human interference and ensure equal opportunity for all qualified candidates.
Applicants must buy an official voucher before applying to access the application form.
Vouchers are required for account creation and verification.
