Police recruiting test leaked to applicants

9:41 am on 24 February 2009

Police headquarters has been forced to replace its recruitment test after a copy was circulated to potential candidates.

Human resources general manager Wayne Annan says at least one applicant had access to the test prior to testing day.

As a result, the police have replaced the test with a new set of questions.

He says an investigation is underway to find out who leaked the test, and if past recruits also had access to leaked questions.

Mr Annan says the incident came to light after routine monitoring of results.
