On August 29, 2024, the National Center for Personal Data Protection (NCPDP) organized a training course in the field of personal data protection for the employees of the Police Inspectorate (PI) of the Riscani District of the Police Directorate of the Chisinau municipality.

The aim of the training course was to increase the PI employees’ awareness on the principles of personal data protection, as well as to ensure the correct application of the legal provisions in the field in the activity they perform.

The event discussed topics of importance such as:

Definition of general concepts related to the field of personal data protection;

Principles and legal grounds for processing personal data;

The lawful way of processing personal data in the work of law enforcement bodies;

Requirements for the protection of personal data in the performance of police duties;

The training course proved to be very useful and interactive. The trainers from the NCPDP provided practical answers to the many questions asked by the participants. At the same time, the issues related to the disclosure of information containing personal data, the analysis carried out by the data controller in terms of access to these data, the correct procedure for accessing personal data through the State Information Systems and the correct auditing of these accesses, as well as the term of retention/storage and use of personal data at the end of the processing operations, were of great interest to the participants.
