Dallas city officials in an ongoing audit of police crime data found that the data missing from the city’s computer database is almost triple the initial estimate.

An additional 15 terabytes of police data have been found to be missing after a city information technician inadvertently deleted 22 terabytes of such crime data as photos, videos and other documents.

However the technicians recovered 14 terabytes, but about eight terabytes were likely lost forever.
