A former Greater Manchester Police (GMP) Community Support Officer (PCSO) will appear in court charged with data protection and computer misuse offences following an Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) investigation.

Our investigation looked at the former PCSO’s contact with a member of the public in Oldham in 2018.

Peter Kiba will appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates’ Court on Friday 27 November.

Our investigation began in August 2018 and was completed in July 2019. At the investigation’s conclusion, we referred a file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), which made the decision to charge the former PCSO in June 2020.
