An investigation by the Sunday Sun has revealed that more than 100 Police officers in Northumbria have been found to have breached data protection laws in the past two years.
Nationally, Northumbria Police have recorded the largest number of data breaches, with 33 recorded over the past two years - nineteen in 2009 and 14 the year before. Six officers have been sacked from their jobs while a further ten have resigned.
Sadly, Northumbria County Constabulary's breach of data protection laws far from unique. Only last month, this blog highlighted the case of a Gwent Police employee who lost their job after they e-mailed the results of 10,000 people's criminal records checks to a journalist.
For too long, many in Police forces up and down the country have felt themselves to be above the law when it comes to data protection concerns. It is time the Information Commissioner flexed his muscles in this field, before yet more personal data is lost or accessed by unscrupulous individuals with access to Police databases.
