Deputy Police Commissioner Papalii Monalisa Tiai Keti told Tala Fou that the 184 applications were received from the recent police recruitment that closed last week Wednesday.
The police force currently employs approximately 921 officers.
However, the Police Commissioner Auapaau Logoitino Filipo told Tala Fou last year that the Ministry needs at least 1027 officers for the Police Ministry to be effectively operational in maintaining law and order throughout the country.
