Below, of course, is the tale of Senior Corporal Theadora Ross — the 26-year veteran of the Dallas Police Department indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly depositing at least $250,000 in North Texas Crime Commission‘s Crime Stoppers cash in her own bank account. The feds say that the 50-year-old Ross, who was arrested at DPD HQ yesterday by FBI agents, and 36-year-old Malva Delley spent more than five years — February 2005 through May 2010 — pocketing cash rewards for phony tips. And DPD vows today: Never again.
The Dallas Police Department has taken material steps to prevent a
recurrence of this kind of suspected malfeasance. Effective immediately,
all police personnel associated with the Crime Stoppers Program will be
required to undergo random polygraph tests as a condition of assignment.
Further, a term limit will be imposed for those involved in the program
and more in-depth supervisory audits will take place. These steps will
make it extraordinarily unlikely that anyone in the future could misuse
Crime Stoppers Program resources.
