Hackers leaked thousands of files from Lexipol, a Texas-based company that develops policy manuals, training bulletins, and consulting services for first responders.
The manuals, which are crafted by Lexipol’s team of public sector attorneys, practitioners, and subject-matter experts, are customized to align with the specific needs and local legal requirements of agencies across the country.
But the firm also faces criticism for its blanket approach to police policies and pushback on reforms.
The data, a sample of which was given to the Daily Dot by a group referring to itself as “the puppygirl hacker polycule,” includes approximately 8,543 files related to training, procedural, and policy manuals, as well as customer records that contain names, usernames, agency names, hashed passwords, physical addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers.
That’s great. Shouldn’t those materials be public record anyway?
This is a police state, you don’t get to do that.

Best fucking name for a hacker group ever. Where do I sign up?
Gonna be reading those via memes for the next few months.
I have a very bad feeling that the result will be the cops saying, “yep, those horrific things really are our policies and we’re glad we can be open about them now.”
Good job, hackers! ✊
