The series of training sessions in the field of personal data protection for the subdivisions of the General Inspectorate of Police continues

       On November 18, 2025, the National Center for Personal Data Protection (NCPDP) organized a training session in the field of personal data protection for the employees of the Nisporeni Police Inspectorate, according to the training plan within the IGP subdivisions for 2025, approved and signed by the leaders of the NCPDP and IGP on January 28 of this year.

       The purpose of the training session was to strengthen the professional capacities of the employees of the Nisporeni Police Inspectorate in the field of personal data protection, by deepening the applicable regulatory framework, as well as by familiarizing them with European standards and good practices in the field.

       The training session aimed to ensure a uniform and correct application of data protection legislation in specific police activities, in the context in which IGP representatives manage sensitive information on a daily basis, in exercising their duties of preventing, detecting and investigating crimes. Therefore, the session focused on developing a consolidated institutional culture in the field of data protection, aimed at supporting both employee professionalism and respect for the fundamental rights of data subjects.

       During the session, NCPDP trainers addressed an extensive set of topics relevant to police activity, such as: the application of the principles of legality, fairness, proportionality and data minimization in current operations; the particularities of processing sensitive data and information regarding persons at risk; the obligation to rigorously document processing activities and the importance of internal registers; the responsibilities of employees in daily activity, as well as the role of the Data Protection Officer; prevention and reporting of security incidents, with an emphasis on prompt response and institutional cooperation.

       The importance of training for employees of the Nisporeni Police Inspectorate derives from the need for responsible, legal and proportionate management of citizens’ personal data, in a complex operational context, characterized by accelerated digitalization, inter-institutional information exchanges and exposure to risks associated with data security. The training contributes to strengthening the capacity of the Nisporeni Police Inspectorate to prevent security incidents, ensure the transparency of internal processes, and maintain a high level of public trust in police activity.

       Among the lessons learned from the training are: strengthening the understanding of the need to strictly comply with data protection legislation in all operational activities; awareness of the risks associated with data processing without legal basis or outside the established limits; recognition of the essential role of transparency and accountability in internal processes; appreciation of the importance of effective communication with the NCPDP and continuous training as a fundamental element in ensuring compliance.

       The NCPDP reaffirms its commitment to support, through systematic training and specialized expertise, all IGP subdivisions in the joint effort to promote compliance, professionalism and the protection of the fundamental rights of the citizens of the Republic of Moldova.

       During the event, 57 representatives of the Nisporeni Police Inspectorate were trained.
