Doxxing of police
Doxxing of police officers usually starts with a body-cam video, a news article, or a viral incident — then someone runs the name through a broker.

Doxxing of cops follows a pattern. An incident gets attention. The officer's name appears in news coverage. Within hours, an account on social media or a forum posts the officer's home address, spouse's name, and kid's school. The address came from Spokeo or Whitepages. The spouse came from the same broker page. The kid's school took two more searches.
It's so routine now that there are public archives of doxxed officers. The format is consistent because the source is consistent: a single people-search page does most of the work.
Why first responders catch this more
Cops show up by name in coverage of any incident. That name lands on a Spokeo page within hours. From there, anyone with a grudge — and after a high-profile case, that's a lot of people — can pull your address before the news cycle closes. For federal LE specifically, the 2020 Portland doxxing wave — 38 officers named — is the modern reference for what happens when the protest cycle and the broker pages line up.
The pattern hits harder for officers in metros where local media names officers by default. LA, Chicago, Houston, Atlanta, Miami — every named-in-the-news officer is a name that becomes a doxx target.
What we sweep that prevents the chain
We file opt-outs across 200+ broker sites and re-check every two weeks. For officers in NJ, Daniel's Law — a state statute that lets covered officers sue brokers that fail to remove their home address — gives us extra leverage. For federal judges, the Lieu Act does the same.
If you're not in NJ and not a federal judge, the leverage is the broker opt-out itself. We do that for you, continuously, across every broker that's likely to come up in a name search.
