What’s going on with data breaches in UK police forces?

UK police forces have suffered several data breaches, with two being disclosed just days after the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) reported a similar issue caused by human error, revealing employee details. The Norfolk and Suffolk forces claim their data leak was due to a technical issue, involving more than 1,200 people’s identifiable information. The breaches are believed to have occurred while responding to Freedom of Information requests.
