Calgary Police Employee Charged for Privacy Breach

A civilian employee with the Calgary Police Service just got hit with charges from misusing internal databases on personal business. Kayla Jessen, a three-year staffer there, allegedly pulled up info on people she was involved with or chasing romantically, from February 1st to August 1st, 2025. She's basing nine counts under the Protection of Privacy Act for grabbing and sharing that protected data. The whole thing kicked off in December when tips came in about shady access. Investigators jumped on it, got a search warrant, seized her mobile device, and pieced it together quick. Four victims got their personal details targeted on purpose, and police have notified every one of them about the breach. Folks in charge say, stuff like this hits hard at the trust they've built with the community and their own team. Right now, Jessen's on an unrelated leave while they review her case, and she walked free after arrest with a court date set for June 2nd. Police are still digging, so if you know anything,
