Following inquiries, the 32-year-old man was issued a court attendance notice today (Wednesday 20 December 2023), for four counts of access/modify restricted data held in computer.

The officer – who has been suspended with pay since September 2023 – is due to appear before Parramatta Local Court on Monday 12 February 2024.

His employment status is currently under review.
