He said shortlisted applicants will undergo an extensive medical examination, as body mass and height index measures will be checked as well as sight check.

“Team of police medical officers is examining if the applicant had a tattoo or questionable mark on him or her and if that is spotted, it means automatic disqualification from the exercise.
