Professional Law Enforcement Association Inc. data breach

Clerk's notes

The Professional Law Enforcement Association Inc., an organization supporting law enforcement professionals, formally notified the Attorney General for Maryland on March 10, 2025, about a data security incident. This filing indicates that confidential information held by the association may have been compromised.

The reported exposed data categories include Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Home Address, Phone Number, Banking and Financial Account Details, Employment and Badge Information, and Association Membership Records. For law enforcement professionals and their families, the exposure of residential addresses and internal employment details introduces a particularly serious layer of physical security risk, alongside the typical threats of financial fraud and identity theft.

Organizations entrusted with sensitive member data, especially those related to public safety, are legally obligated to maintain robust security measures. The occurrence of this security incident suggests that the Professional Law Enforcement Association Inc. may not have had adequate protections in place to prevent unauthorized access to its digital systems and member records.
