Oklahoma DHS looking into breach of records

The files — which included names, Social Security numbers, contact information and details on child abuse investigations — reportedly were left behind when a DHS worker was evicted from a rent house in Guthrie.

KWTV-9 returned the records to the agency this week.

DHS spokesman George Johnson said the agency is serious about maintaining the security of its records.

The incident is being investigated by the agency’s inspector general and security information office to determine what happened to expose confidential records, Johnson said.

Johnson said the inquiry will determine the appropriate action against the employee, if any.
