The police must rebuff the Data Inspectorate, which examined the internal system where police enter information on suspected criminals.
Data Inspection lawyer Cecilia Agnell says it is serious that the processing of personal data not in accordance with existing regulations.
– this is of course an iT system that police use to disseminate information within the police. That when all the police officers – no matter where in the country you work or what kind of crime to work with – have access to all this data in this way, it is definitely not compatible with the Police Data Act.
the so-called NB-portal is used for internal exchange of information about crimes, reconnaissance and other criminal intelligence. It includes lots of personal information about individuals who are suspected of crimes.
The system’s openness violates the Police Data Act, which says that a police officer should not have access to more information than hen need to perform their work. Data Inspection Board now requires eight steps to limit the system.
David Hake is effected lawyer at the police legal department. He says they are well aware that the internal information dissemination channel needs to be improved.
This criticism expressed by the Security and Integrity of three years ago. Why have not you done more to rectify these shortcomings ?
– Given that the supervisory matter from the Data Inspection Board had just started at that time so we decided to wait for changes for the decision, saying David Hake.
the Data inspection Board also directs criticism of how the information is presented in the portal. It describes the notices in the system sometimes had a bantering and emotive tone.
David Hake mean that some editors misunderstood the task.
– You said from the operational side to have taken it as that one should grab the reader and the like, but we have come out with guidelines clarifying that it is not. It should be factually and objectively described, he said.
Police have until 18 October to fix the problems with the system.
– We should change so that the permissions to the data reflects the input value, so that local information is only accessible in the field it belongs, says David Hake of the police legal department.
