Personal data found at recycling depot

A floppy disk containing personal information about employees of the Devon and Cornwall, England Police forces was found in a discarded computer at a recycling center located in the Southwest England town of Exeter. The personal data found on the disk included telephone numbers, ranks and firearms qualifications.
       The disk was found by someone searching for spare computer parts, who later contacted the national media when he discovered the disk's contents. The assistant chief constable for the area apologized to staff at both police departments for the mistake.
