    The Nigeria Police like any formal organisation has its rules and regulations guiding the enlistment of officers. While studies on the effect of the rules on the recruitment of policewomen are inadequate, the public continues to advance subjective effects. Hence, the study explored how the police rules and regulations affect the recruitment of women into the NP. The study adopted a descriptive survey design consisting both quantitative and qualitative. Z test formula which was used because the target population was not known. The formula gave a sample size of 385 female respondents that were selected randomly from Zone7 of the NP. 305 questionnaires were recovered for quantitative analysis out of the 385 questionnaires that were administered. Key informant interview (KII) and in-depth interview (IDI) were used to generate qualitative data. Socialist and liberal feminism were used as a theoretical guide for the study. The quantitative data generated were analysed using SPSS and content analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data. Findings showed that police rules and regulations affect the enlistment of women into the NP. especially married women seeking for enlistment. The study therefore recommended that police rules and regulations should be amended and relaxed to encourage and accommodate more women into the Police.
