The Dallas Police Department held a meeting of the Data Recovery Committee to discuss data retrieval efforts in response to the loss of more than eight terabytes of data during a data migration process.
According to police, the Data Recovery Committee consists of members from the Dallas Police Department, Dallas County District Attorney's Office, and City of Dallas Information and Technology Services.
The committee discussed the 7.51 terabytes previously addressed in a special joint meeting on Thursday.
The files were deleted during a data migration process in April. About 14 terabytes of data were recovered, but eight terabytes were thought to be unrecoverable, District Attorney John Creuzot said.
