Tubah Hamid, a 25-year-old former police constable for Greater Manchester Police, was jailed for three years after being convicted of misconduct in public office and other charges related to sharing confidential information with her drug-dealer boyfriend. She accessed police systems without authorization between December 2021 and June 2022, providing tips on avoiding surveillance and identifying officers. During a raid that led to her partner's arrest for attempted murder, Hamid did not disclose her status as an officer, crying during sentencing at Liverpool Crown Court in July.

Story summary
Former PC Tubah Hamid, 25, was sentenced to three years in jail after being found guilty of sharing confidential police information with her drug-dealer boyfriend. While working for Greater Manchester Police (GMP) in Rochdale, Hamid developed a relationship with an organized crime member and passed him sensitive data from police systems. She also provided tips on how to evade surveillance. During one arrest operation involving her boyfriend's suspected involvement in attempted murder, Hamid failed to inform other officers that she was collaborating with them.
Following the investigation, Hamid faced charges including three counts of misconduct in public office, four counts of computer misuse, and providing information to an organized crime group. The judge described her actions as "audacious, corrupt and criminal." At her sentencing hearing, Hamid broke down in tears, as did another woman in the courtroom gallery.
