1. Are these Elite Police jobs only for ex-army personnel?
+
Yes, absolutely. These Elite Police jobs are specifically for ex-Pakistan Army SSG personnel. If you have served in SSG and have a valid Discharge Book, you can apply. Civilians or regular police officers are not eligible for this recruitment.
2. Can women apply for these Elite Police jobs?
+
Yes, they can! The advertisement clearly states that women are also required for these Elite Police jobs. If you are a female with an SSG background, you are most welcome. The training school needs female instructors as well.
3. Will I get the upper scale salary or just basic pay?
+
You will get the upper scale. According to the advertisement, selected candidates for Elite Police jobs will receive the “upper limit scale” plus allowances. This means your salary will be on the higher side of the range shown in the table (Rs. 112,000 to Rs. 162,000). And yes, a complete pension is also included – which is rare in today’s contract jobs.
4. Will I get medical and leave facilities?
+
Of course. In these Elite Police jobs, medical and leave facilities will be provided according to the Government of Punjab’s current laws. This is not just a contract – it is a respectable government job with full pension benefits.
5. My chest is 33 inches. Can I still apply?
+
It will be difficult, but you can try. The physical standard for these Elite Police jobs is: minimum 34 inch chest with 33 inch expansion. If you are exactly 33 inches, the requirement is not fully met. My advice: do chest exercises (push-ups, dumbbell pull-overs) and measure again. If your expansion is 33+, you might be okay.
6. Can I apply online for these Elite Police jobs?
+
No, this is an offline process. For these Elite Police jobs, you must visit in person at the Elite Police Training School, Badian Road, Lahore. You will collect the form there, fill it out, and submit it with your documents. No online application is available. Also, TA/DA will not be given – but you already know that from your army days.
7. I retired 6 years ago. Can I apply?
+
I’m sorry, but you cannot. The advertisement clearly states: No more than 5 years should have passed since retirement. For these Elite Police jobs, if you retired more than 5 years ago, you are not eligible. Please don’t lose heart – another opportunity will come your way.
8. Do I need special preparation for the interview?
+
Yes, absolutely. For these Elite Police jobs, you may be asked:
✅ “Which SSG course did you perform best in?”
✅ “How will you train young police constables in close combat?”
✅ “What is your opinion on Punjab’s current law and order situation?”
✅ “Tell us about a time you led a team under pressure.”
Tip: Keep your army stories ready. Be honest, but be confident.
9. Is the physical test very difficult?
+
Let’s be real – you are from the SSG. Nothing is too difficult for you. For these Elite Police jobs, expect:
🏃♂️ 1.6 km run – under 7 minutes
💪 Push-ups – 25+ non-stop
🤸 Pull-ups – 10+
📏 Height & chest – 5’7″ and 34×33
If you practice daily, it’s easy. If not – start now! The test is on 26 June 2026.
10. Do I need my SSG course certificates?
+
Yes, 100%. For these Elite Police jobs, each position requires a specific SSG course:
📌 Naib Subedar – Advance Leadership Course (Special Operations School)
📌 Havaldar – Specialized Course
📌 Lance Havaldar – Advance Navigation / Explosive & Demolition Course
📌 Head Constable – Advance Judo Course
Make sure to attach these certificates! Otherwise, your application may be rejected.
11. My friend also wants to apply. Can we submit forms together?
+
Absolutely! Go together, support each other. The process for these Elite Police jobs allows group submission. You and your friend can visit the Elite Police Training School, Badian Road, Lahore together. Collect forms together, fill them out together. Just keep your documents separate. And yes – boost each other’s confidence. You are old army buddies. You know how this works. ❤️
12. Will I get hostel accommodation? I am from another city.
+
This job is in Lahore, not Karachi. The location is Badian Road, Lahore. The advertisement does not mention hostel facilities, but these Elite Police jobs at the training school may have limited accommodation. You can request it at the time of joining. If not available, rented houses are easily available near Badian Road at reasonable rates. Don’t worry – Lahore is a very welcoming city.
13. My age is borderline. Is there any relaxation?
+
The advertisement does not mention age relaxation. However, here are the upper age limits for these Elite Police jobs:
• Naib Subedar: 44-52 years
• Havaldar: 42-50 years
• Lance Havaldar: 38-48 years
• Head Constable: 36-46 years
If you are 1-2 years above the limit, still try. In some cases, discretionary relaxation is possible – especially if your army record is exemplary. But don’t keep too much hope. Whatever Allah does, it’s for the best. Just try – you have nothing to lose. Last date: 18 June 2026
