In a sobering reminder of the responsibility held by those entrusted with public safety, a Dallas police officer has been removed from duty. The Dallas Police Department has confirmed through a recent disciplinary hearing that Police Officer Brennon Wilkinson, assigned to the North Central Patrol Division, was terminated following his arrest on serious charges.

The charges against the former officer are severe: one count of Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child and two counts of Indecency with a Child. Details on the circumstances surrounding the allegations against Officer Wilkinson are sparse, as the report from the Dallas Police Department provides only the facts of his termination and the nature of the charges.

Wilkinson, who wore badge #11988, was part of the North Central Patrol Division, a sector of Dallas city where trust between law enforcement and the community is crucial. The disciplinary hearing was presided over by Interim Police Chief Igo, who ultimately decided to terminate Wilkinson's employment with the Dallas Police Department.
