"We are still doing background checks on the recruits that we have in our training schools and anytime we stumble on any fact that will make someone unsuitable to be a police officer, we will expel the person," he said.
He further advised the public to disregard other publications suggesting the dismissed recruits have been placed on a "so-called protocol list".
