Inspectors Exam Update


Technical issues led to the Inspectors exam being suspended this week. Several of our officers were affected by frozen screens and buffering during the exam on Monday. At around midday the assessment was suspended.

DCC Bernie O'Reilly from the College of Policing took to Twitter to issue an apology:

"There were significant technical problems and we have had to pull it. This is not good enough. I apologise to everyone affected and will personally oversee an urgent review and reschedule the exam ASAP."

Read DCC O'Reilly's full apology and explanation of the situation. The College has since shared updates, including a Frequently Asked Questions document.

BTP's Learning and Development team is in contact with the College of Policing. If you have any queries about the exam and what happens next, please contact the L&D team directly.
