Ie: More Than 1,000 Apply for Security Payment Following PSNI Data Leak

Posted on February 1, 2024 by Dissent

Jonathan McCambridge reports:

More than 1,000 PSNI officers and staff have taken up an offer of a payment to help with home security improvements following a major data leak.

The Policing Board was told the cost to the force of the scheme is currently £400,000.

In August, the details of almost 9,500 PSNI officers and staff were mistakenly published in response to a Freedom of Information (FoI) request.

The list included the surname and first initial of every employee, their rank or grade, where they are based and the unit in which they work.
