A former Victorian police officer has been charged with misconduct in public office.

The 62-year-old former sergeant with the Southern Metro Region has also been charged with accessing and disclosing information without authorisation.

A Brighton man, 60, faces similar offences, including possessing an imitation pistol.

The offences were allegedly committed between 2011 and 2017, with both men bailed to appear in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Thursday.
