The series of personal data protection training courses for representatives of the General Inspectorate of Border Police continues

On 20 March 2024, the National Centre for Personal Data Protection (NCPDP) organised two training courses on personal data protection for employees of the Eastern Regional Directorate of the General Inspectorate of Border Police (IGPF).

The aim of the training courses was to increase the awareness of the employees of the Eastern Regional Directorate of the IGPF on the principles of personal data protection, as well as on ensuring the correct application of the legal provisions in the field, in the activity they carry out.

During the trainings important topics were discussed, such as: 

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

Principles and legal grounds for personal data processing; 

The rights of personal data subjects; 

Processing of special categories of personal data; 

Requirements for the protection of personal data in the exercise of official duties; 

Ensuring the security and confidentiality of personal data processed; 

Issues relating to the appointment of the Data Protection Officer (DPO);

Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) issues; 

Legal aspects of personal data processing through video surveillance systems, etc.

The training courses proved to be interactive and useful, and issues related to the examination of requests for disclosure of personal data, the correct procedure for accessing personal data through state information systems, as well as the correct procedure for identifying persons who do not have identity documents, were of great interest to the course participants.

About 60 representatives of the Eastern Regional Directorate of the IGPF were trained during the events.

The training courses are part of the IGPF training plan for 2024, approved and signed by the heads of the NCPDP and IGPF on 21 February this year.
