Dallas council members on Tuesday will weigh in for the first time on a new investigation into the deletion of millions of police files last year.
new investigation into the deletion of millions of police files last yearThe council’s general investigation and ethics committee plans to hear from Erin Nealy Cox, a former U.S. attorney whose law firm was hired to look into the massive data loss. Council members received copies of her firm’s report last week.. It follows an internal review that was released to the public in September.
The worker told investigators he deleted the archive files without verifying if copies of the data existed elsewhere and “did not fully understand the implications of his actions.” The law firm’s report said there was no apparent evidence that the former worker had “malicious intent or criminal purpose” when erasing the files.The IT department relied on the technician to move millions of Dallas police files to an on-site server using the cloud storage management software Commvault, but the worker had only received training on the software twice since 2018.
But the law firm’s report says that may not be worth completing because of the estimated price tag and because some of the files may not actually be needed by police or prosecutors.The police department’s fractured form of record keeping, while outside of best practices, actually limited the scope of the data loss, according to the law firm. The department doesn’t have a consistent process across their divisions for how to save electronic evidence.
