Dallas sergeant receives 15-day suspension after accessing female officer's private photos

According to the Dallas Police Women’s Association, Sergeant Daylon L. Grandberry accessed a female officer’s smartphone by asking her to download a game, then claimed poor reception to create distance and unlock the password-protected gallery. While holding the device, he allegedly sent two texts of her intimate images to his own number before giving the phone back. The officer discovered the messages hours later, reported the breach, and the department opened an investigation.

Grandberry, a veteran of the force since 2008, received a 15-day suspension with no additional penalties. The association condemned the punishment as insufficient and urged a third-party probe, citing concerns about a culture that marginalizes female officers. The Dallas Police Association also called for a thorough examination of the allegations.
