The Department of Forensic Sciences at the University of Cape Coast (UCC) has denied reports that exam questions for its police promotion exam were leaked before its conduction.

According to a statement from the school dated February, 27, the exams were written under the watchful supervision of the University’s skilled invigilators.

“The attention of Management of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) has been drawn to a news item aired on ADOM TV, Badwam show, on Wednesday 22nd February 2023, purporting that the questions for the Police Promotional Examination organised by the Department of Forensic Sciences of the University, leaked before the Exams were written.

“No part of the Ghana Police Promotional examination questions written on the 13th of February 2023, were leaked to any candidate,” parts of the statement read.

Additionally, the University denied claims that certain senior police officers acted as exam supervisors during the exams. The institution argued that it is unacceptable that there are reports circulating that some candidates are demanding their scripts be remarked, when the scripts have not yet been marked.

“The Examinations were written under the strict supervision of the University’s experienced Invigilators. The allegation that the exams were invigilated by some Senior Officers from the Police Service is false and should be treated with the contempt it deserves.

“The claim by the Host of the show that some candidates were calling for remarking of their scripts is not tenable because the results have not been released. The allegation of the supposed leakage, therefore, begs the question,” it said.

The Authorities further urged stakeholders and the general public to ignore the malicious publication as it could ruin the school’s reputation.

“The University of Cape Coast is an internationally acclaimed university with competent and credible professionals who have been in the business of conducting examinations since time immemorial.

“Management wishes to assure its cherished stakeholders and the general public that the University holds dear to its acclaimed brand as an excellent academic institution and for that matter, would not do anything untoward to tarnish it hard-won reputation,” it added.

The Police promotional exam measures one’s potential aptitudes for police related jobs. Individuals who pass the exams demonstrate that they are well-equipped to handle their newpositions.
