Final written warning for Gloucestershire Police officer
It's after she accessed data over a collision involving a family member
A Gloucestershire PC who accessed data without a legitimate policing reason to do so has been given a final written warning by the force.
A panel concluded that Suzanne Robinson breached the standards of professional behaviour by looking at information regarding a collision involving a family member.
The crash had involved her relative and another vehicle that was attempting to flee from police.
Information which was accessed included police dash cam footage.
PC Robinson admitted go into the computer records, saying it was out of concern for her family member and to assist with an insurance claim.
The written warning will remain on her record for two years.
Deputy Chief Constable Katy Barrow-Grint said, "All police employees are aware they should only access police databases for legitimate policing purposes and in looking up details of the incident involving her family member, PC Robinson breached the trust placed in her by the public.
"The final outcome takes into consideration PC Robinson’s open and honest admissions, at the early stage and accepting responsibility for her actions, together with significant mitigating factors."
