DALLAS (AP) – Two Dallas police majors are out of a job following internal affairs investigations, including one who helped shape a promotion exam but also had a test-prep business on the side.
A department statement says Police Chief U. Renee Hall fired Major LaToya Porter and Major Paulette Richardson during hearings Thursday. The department says Porter served as an expert for a sergeant assessment exam but also provided training through her private company. Dallas police previously threw out results from a promotion exam after learning Porter had the company.
An investigation also found that she created a conflict of interest when she represented a client, also a candidate for a promotion, in a “civil service matter.”
The department reports Richardson accepted gratuity or a gift from subordinate employees.
