It was alleged that Erin Maranan of Thornhill, Ont., made searches of the police database in February 2014 and September 2014 that were not for official police business.

As a result of further investigation, police say Maranan was charged Wednesday with an additional 20 counts of breach of trust, and single counts of perjury and personation.

She was to appear in Toronto court on Wednesday.
