The Northern Ireland Policing Board has confirmed it's boycotting PSNI graduation ceremonies.

The move follows allegations earlier this year that several PSNI student officers cheated during training exams.

At the time it was claimed up to 80 trainees were involved.

A spokesperson for the Policing Board said:

“Following the impropriety of the student officers, a decision was taken that until a full review of the college had been completed to provide the necessary assurance on the operation of the college, it would not be appropriate for the Board to attend the graduation.”
