Dallas police officer rehired following off-duty arrest

DALLAS – A Dallas police officer has been reinstated after he was fired over family violence charges.
In November of 2022, Javier Granados was arrested for an off-duty incident. He was then fired in July of last year.
Last week during an appeal hearing, an administrative judge decided his termination was not a consistent punishment in comparison to similar cases.
Officer Granados will now have to complete a 45-day suspension and be retrained before he returns to the force.
He was first hired by DPD in September of 2019.
