Police drop the news on Tuesday, and they're already moving to suspend him without pay. This bust highlights how even insiders can cross lines with sensitive info. It's sparking questions about trust inside the force, especially with officers handling critical data daily. No word yet on motives, but the breach could expose vulnerabilities in their systems.
