A Dallas police officer has been taken into custody in connection with a family violence assault charge. According to the Dallas Police Department, Senior Corporal Raneen Bazzi, badge number 11022, was arrested on Tuesday by the department's Public Integrity Unit for an alleged misdemeanor A-level assault while she was off-duty.

The allegation levied against Senior Corporal Bazzi comes as a striking event, given her position in law enforcement since June 2015. The incident, reported off-duty, has prompted the department to place Bazzi on administrative leave. With Bazzi working in the department's Southeast Patrol Division, the internal mechanisms of oversight have swiftly moved to the forefront, pending an Internal Affairs administrative investigation into her conduct.

While the details of the incident remain sparse at this time, it represents yet another case of police officers coming under scrutiny for actions occurring outside the line of duty. Senior Corporal Bazzi is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and the investigation by Internal Affairs is ongoing, aimed at ensuring due process and transparent justice.
