00:00A former Merseyside police sergeant has been given a suspended jail sentence after accessing police records without authorisation and sharing
00:09personal data.
00:10Daniel Hughes, 40, was convicted of multiple offences linked to unauthorised access between 2016 and 2021.
00:18A court heard he became too close to people involved in serious criminality and used police systems to look up
00:25information.
00:25The judge said Hughes had shown courage as an officer, but his actions damaged public confidence in policing.
00:33He has been ordered to complete unpaid work and rehabilitation activity after receiving a 12-month sentence suspended for two
00:41years.
00:42Hughes must also pay fines.
