The man, who works in Skaraborg, is being charged with aggravated data intrusion, ordinary data intrusion, and aggravated breach of confidentiality.
According to the Prosecution Authority, there were 16 occasions when the police officer accessed the police register for private use, and 21 occasions when he obtained information from the register at the request of an entrepreneur.
The police arrested him on April 16.
"It is unusual for a police officer to be detained for a crime committed in the line of duty and now be prosecuted for those crimes. This involves misuse of police computer systems that contain sensitive and secret information that he has disclosed," says prosecutor Per Nichols in a press release.
