    .

    A former member of police staff has been jailed for passing confidential information to her drug dealer boyfriend.

    An investigation by South Wales Police found Lucy Langmead, 44, from Pontypridd, accessed the computer system and leaked confidential information to Daniel Cozens, 37, about his associates.

    Langmead began a relationship with Cozens in 2020, while she was working for South Wales Police.

    The ex-police worker also accessed the police computer system unlawfully between May 2020 and March 2022 to get information about family members.

    The pair were arrested and later pleaded guilty to offences which included conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office.

    Langmead pleaded guilty to 13 offences of securing unauthorised access to computer material, and five offences of unlawful disclosure of personal data.

    She resigned from South Wales Police in May 2022.

    Cozens, also from Pontypridd, pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of a controlled drug of class C (Benzodiazepines), being concerned in the supply of a controlled drug of class C (pregablins) and possession of a controlled drug of class B (cannabis).

    They were sentenced to two years and 11 months and one year and eight months, respectively, at Cardiff Crown Court on Tuesday.

    Chief Superintendent Bella Rees, head of professional standards, said it was “Both a public expectation and a legal requirement that information should be treated in the strictest confidence, properly protected and used for legitimate policing purposes only”.

    “Accessing confidential police information without a legitimate policing purpose is an abuse of position and, as this case demonstrates, will be treated robustly,” she added.
