Overview
- The Dallas Police Department confirmed Sgt. Daylon L. Grandberry was given a 15-day suspension after an internal administrative review for a privacy violation.
- Advocates say Grandberry accessed a subordinate’s phone, opened a hidden photo folder and sent intimate images to his own device, and the woman filed a complaint despite fearing retaliation.
- The Dallas Police Women’s Association rejected Grandberry’s claim that the access was accidental and called the disciplinary result a “slap on the wrist.”
- The department says it cannot provide further detail because this is a personnel matter and that the suspension can be appealed through the civil service process.
- The case has focused attention on how the department disciplines supervisors, prompted demands for outside review, and raised concerns about trust and safety for women officers in Dallas.
