The Calgary Police Service has charged a civilian employee after she was alleged to have accessed police databases for non-police matters.
Police said the investigation began in December 2025, after officers were made aware of allegations that protected information on the databases had been improperly accessed.
Investigators allege the offences took place between Feb. 1 and Aug. 1, 2025 when the employee accessed the databases, without authorization, in an effort to obtain information on individuals she had, or was seeking to have, personal relationships with.
