Since 1 January 2018, three officers were suspended and had access to all Departments’ systems (emails) and/or files revoked, pending the outcome of the disciplinary process. Two of these officers have since been dismissed and one is currently on long term sick leave.

No further restrictions on access to the Department’s systems and/or files have been imposed as part of any other disciplinary process or sanction under the Civil Service Disciplinary Code.
