Corrupt female police officer who shared confidential information with drug dealer boyfriend cries as she's jailed for three years

A corrupt female police officer who shared confidential information with her drug-dealer boyfriend cried as she was jailed for three years yesterday.Former PC Tubah Hamid, 25, struck up a relationship with a member of an organised crime group in Rochdale while working for Greater Manchester Police (GMP).She was seen getting into a car with him after calling in sick, passed him information from police systems and gave him tips on how to recognise if he was under surveillance.Hamid was even present when the Class A drug-dealer was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder – but failed to notify officers she was also serving with the police.Following an investigation, she was charged with three counts of misconduct in public office and four counts of computer misuse, relating to unlawfully accessing information on computer systems without a policing purpose.She was also charged with providing information to an organised crime group and causing the transmission of an image or sound from within a prison via electronic communications.Tubah was convicted at trial and cried on Wednesday as she was jailed for three years for misconduct in public office, four months for computer misuse and four months for illegal prison communications.An investigation led by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) and GMP's Professional Standards department found that Hamid had shared confidential information to her gangland beau between December 2021 and June 2022. Former PC Tubah Hamid, 25, struck up a relationship with a member of an organised crime group in Rochdale while working for Greater Manchester PoliceOn June 16, 2022, she was observed getting into a car with him despite having called in sick at work.Later that day, the same car was involved in a cocaine drug deal.Officers uncovered text messages between the pair from April of that year which showed she gave him information on how to check if he was under police surveillance.Hamid also conducted searches for four people on police computer systems between October 2021 and March 2022 – two of these were then contacted by her without a proper policing purpose.Liverpool Crown Court was told Hamid was present at her partner's address when police carried out a raid, arresting him on suspicion of attempted murder and participation in the activities of an organised group.She did not tell anyone at the scene she was a serving police officer.Hamid, who did not give evidence in her defence, was convicted in July.At sentencing, the court heard she had no prior convictions and was of previous good character – until she began helping her 'well-established' Class A drug-dealer boyfriend.Described as 'audacious, corrupt and criminal' by Judge Gary Woodhall, Hamid cried and a woman in the public gallery burst into tears as she was told she would be going to prison.IOPC Director of Engagement Amanda Rowe said: 'Disclosing confidential information without reasonable excuse or justification can significantly damage the trust and confidence that members of the public place in the police.'Hamid's behaviour was audacious, corrupt and criminal. Her actions – in using her position of power to assist criminal activity rather than clamp down on it – were a complete betrayal of the public's trust and have no place in policing.'Her lack of judgement and professionalism was a serious breach of the trust placed in the police by the public. The investigation ensured she was held accountable for her actions and she now has a criminal record as a result.''The evidence we have seen points towards this being an isolated case of police corruption on this scale but the outcome sends a clear message to any officer who conducts themselves in such a way – they face serious consequences and will be held to account.Detective Superintendent Dave Jones, of GMP's Professional Standards Directorate, said: 'This matter was thoroughly investigated by our Anti-Corruption Unit, whose relentless pursuit of the evidence, attention to detail and unwavering commitment to integrity ensured that this corruption was exposed and brought before the courts.'While this may have been an isolated lapse in judgement, it represented a serious breach of the standards expected of police officers and the trust placed in them by the public.'Hamid was dismissed prior to her conviction under accelerated procedures in August 2025.'The conviction and dismissal of former PC Hamid sends a clear and unequivocal message that there is no place in Greater Manchester Police for officers who abuse the privileged access entrusted to them, undermine the integrity of policing, or involve themselves with criminality.'The vast majority of police officers and staff serve the public with honesty, professionalism and dedication every day. Their reputation is damaged by the actions of those who choose to disregard their oath and place personal loyalties above their duties.'The public must be able to trust that police powers, information and systems are used lawfully and for legitimate policing purposes only.'When that trust is broken, we will act robustly to investigate wrongdoing, pursue criminal offences where the evidence supports it, and remove those responsible from the organisation.'No police officer is above the law. Those who abuse their position for personal reasons or seek to assist individuals involved in serious criminality should expect to face the full consequences of their actions.'Do YOU have a story?
