Dallas Sergeant Suspended 15 Days After Alleged Theft of Female Officer’s Private Photos

The short suspension has prompted calls for clearer accountability and more transparency in how the department handles misconduct by supervisors.

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.
