West Midlands police officer dismissed over more than 2,000 unauthorised database searches
Police Constable Shannon Parsons was dismissed without notice and barred from future policing after a disciplinary hearing found gross misconduct: over roughly five years she accessed police records more than 2,000 times without a legitimate reason, many containing sensitive information. She claimed the searches were for work purposes, but the panel found they were carried out 'for personal benefit'.
