A second officer has been wrongly linked to a private picture of a female PSNI officer which has been shared online.
It's understood the security of the woman in the intimate image has been reviewed.
Deputy Chief Constable Drew Harris says the service is offering its full support to both officers.
"The posting and re-posting of this material across various social media platforms over recent days has regrettably re-traumatised the victim in this already difficult case" he said.
"It has also unfortunately implicated a second officer erroneously."
Mr Harris added: "Whilst we continue to offer our full support to both officers, we would urge sensible and sensitive reporting around this matter and afford time for an investigation to take place."
