Release: LexipolLeaks (68GB)
Policy manuals hacked from Lexipol, a limited liability company creating policies for more than 8,500 different United States agencies including law enforcement.
Lexipol, also known as PoliceOne, is a private company based in Frisco, Texas that provides policy manuals, training bulletins, and consulting services to approximately 8,500 law enforcement agencies, fire departments, and other public safety departments across the United States. This leak contains the policy manuals produced by Lexipol, and some subscriber information.
In a statement to the Daily Dot, the source of this dataset, puppygirl hacker polycule “said the group targeted Lexipol because there aren’t ‘enough hacks against the police… So we took matters into our own paws.”
Co-founded by two former cops who became lawyers, Lexipol retains copyright over all manuals which it creates despite the public nature of its work.
The Texas Law Review estimated that “in California, where Lexipol was founded, as many as 95% of law enforcement agencies now rely on Lexipol’s policy manual.” Whether an agency discloses the version of the policy manual that they are following, depends on the jurisdiction. The Daily Dot writes:
Some departments proactively publish their policy manuals online, while others keep them hidden from public view. One of the leaked manuals seen by the Daily Dot from the Orville Police Department in Ohio, for example, was not available online. Yet a nearly identical manual from Ohio’s Beachwood Police Department can be found on the city’s website.
The leak allows people from all jurisdictions where Lexipol client agencies are located, to review a full copy of the policy manual that their agencies were following at the time of the leak. This leak also helps to create a current snapshot of who Lexipol’s clients are.
The Lexipol leak is a part of a robust history of hacktivist attacks to recover documents from law enforcement contractors and police departments. DDoSecrets would like to thank Lucy Parsons Labs for their assistance publishing this release.
