Const. Eli Ndatuje, an Alberta RCMP frontline police officer, is facing three charges in relation to accessing “non-Top Secret RCMP records systems” and intending to share the information with a foreign actor, the RCMP said on Feb. 13.
“Upon learning of the security breach, the RCMP implemented measures to monitor, mitigate and manage any further unauthorized disclosures and ensure maintenance of public safety as the investigation unfolded,” the RCMP said in a statement.
“The RCMP takes threats to the security of Canadians very seriously and wants to reassure everyone that our primary focus is the safety and protection of the public at all times.”
Const. Ndatuje is facing charges of breach of trust, unauthorized use of a computer, and breach of trust in respect to safeguarded information.
His first court appearance is scheduled on March 11 at the Calgary Provincial Court.
