Training session in the field of personal data protection for representatives of the Ocnița Police Inspectorate

       On December 3, the National Center for Personal Data Protection (NCPDP) held a training session for employees of the Ocnița Police Inspectorate (PI), thus marking the completion of the training program planned for 2025 within the subdivisions of the General Inspectorate of Police (GPI). The annual program was approved and signed by the heads of the NCPDP and the GPI on January 28, 2025.

       The main objective of the training session was to strengthen the capacities of PI Ocnița employees to correctly and responsibly apply the rules on personal data protection in operational and managerial activity. The NCPDP aimed to ensure a uniform understanding of the legislation, promote an organizational culture oriented towards respecting the rights of the data subjects and preventing security incidents.

       Participants were trained on: the fundamental principles of personal data processing and the obligations of law enforcement institutions; correct practices for collecting, storing and transmitting data in specific police activities; identification of high-risk situations and the necessary measures to reduce them; the importance of transparency, legality and data minimization in all operations carried out; reporting and response procedures in case of data security incidents.

       The training discussed real case studies and operational scenarios, which allowed participants to understand the impact of non-compliance with data protection rules and identify practical solutions applicable in everyday work.

       Completing this annual training program brings an important set of benefits to GPI subdivisions, such as:

•  Increasing the level of compliance with national and european data protection legislation;
• Reducing operational risks associated with the processing of sensitive data in law enforcement and investigative activities;
• Improving the quality of services provided to citizens by adopting responsible and transparent practices;
• Strengthening the organizational culture towards data protection and the protection of fundamental rights;
• Streamlining internal collaboration by clarifying roles, obligations and procedures in the field of data protection.

       The successful completion of all training sessions planned for 2025 confirms the joint commitment of the NCPDP and the GPI to promote a safe, professional and human rights-oriented environment in all personal data processing processes.

       During the event, 50 representatives of the Ocnița Police Inspectorate were trained.
