Professional Law Enforcement Association Data Breach Class Action

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Professional Law Enforcement Association data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at Professional Law Enforcement Association, which may have affected as many as 1,553 individuals in Texas alone with an unknown number nationwide, potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information.

What Happened?

A recent report from the Texas Attorney General's office states that the Professional Law Enforcement Association data breach occurred due to unauthorized access to their systems containing confidential information. While specific details about the nature of the security incident remain limited, the organization has acknowledged that sensitive consumer data was compromised.

It's worth noting that the breach could potentially involve one of Professional Law Enforcement Association’s third-party vendors or business partners, as the organization has provided limited details about the exact source of the unauthorized access.

The breach notification indicates that the unauthorized access affected a wide range of highly sensitive personal information including:

• Names and addresses
• Social Security numbers
• Driver's license numbers
• Financial account information
• Medical information
• Health insurance information
• Dates of birth

Data breach letters were reportedly being prepared by the Professional Law Enforcement Association following their March 11, 2025 filing with the Texas Attorney General. These notifications should provide affected individuals with specific details about what personal information of theirs was exposed during the incident.
