INSTITUTION — INTEGRITY REPORTING

Report Officer Misconduct.

The RCD is committed to institutional integrity. Report misconduct, extortion, or abuse of office confidentially. All reports are taken seriously.

What to Report

The following conduct by RCD officers, contracted staff, or police officers operating under PRCEP should be reported immediately.

Extortion & Bribery

Demanding payment, gifts, or favours from parties in exchange for case outcomes, faster processing, or preferential treatment.

Abuse of Office

Using official authority to intimidate, coerce, or take action against a party for personal benefit or to favour another party.

Favouritism & Bias

Assigning cases, making decisions, or taking enforcement actions based on personal relationships, ethnicity, or improper influence rather than the merits.

Failure to Act

Deliberate inaction on complaints, cases, or enforcement matters — particularly where a party has paid fees and is entitled to service.

Unlawful Eviction Facilitation

Any RCD officer or police officer under PRCEP who assists or enables an unlawful eviction, lockout, or forced removal.

Breach of Confidentiality

Improperly sharing a party's personal information, case details, or documents with unauthorised persons.

  2. 2

    Submit your report through this page, by email, or in person at any RCD regional office.

  3. 3

Your Protections

  • Your identity is kept confidential throughout the reporting and investigation process.
  • Retaliation against a person who makes a good-faith integrity report is a serious disciplinary offence.
  • Anonymous reports are accepted — you do not need to provide your name.
  • If you fear retaliation or are a public servant making a protected disclosure, additional legal protections apply under Ghanaian law.
