Privacy Officer

A Privacy Officer for Emergency & Law works to make sure that when police officers, firefighters, or ambulance crews need to share information to help someone in danger, they only share what's truly needed—and keep the rest private. They read through requests that come in by email or paper forms, check rulebooks and laws, and then decide what information can be shared and what must stay protected. They talk with police officers, hospital workers, and lawyers to explain the rules. For example, if a police officer needs medical records to solve a case, the Privacy Officer makes sure only the right pages get shared, not someone's entire file.

This work matters because everyone deserves to have their private information kept safe, even when emergencies happen. When you go to the doctor or talk to a counselor, you want to know that only the people who really need to know will see that information. The Privacy Officer helps keep that trust strong, so people feel safe asking for help when they need it. They make sure helpers can do their jobs while still protecting what's personal and private about each person.
