The Dallas Police Department has updated its policies on off-duty work following a fatal shooting earlier this year that raised concerns about how officers are hired for outside jobs. On Tuesday, the department briefed the city’s Community Police Oversight Board on changes tied to the shooting death of Diamon-Maziarre Robinson outside Children’s Medical Center in early March. Investigators said Robinson, who also used the name Mike King, may have used the online platform RollKall to hire off-duty officers. Body-worn camera footage showed Robinson sitting in a vehicle as officers ordered him to exit. As he got out, Robinson appeared to reach toward his waist and point what appeared to be a firearm before the video froze and gunshots were heard. At the time, police said Robinson had two active theft warrants and was using a false identity to impersonate a federal agent. U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett later confirmed Robinson had worked as a security guard for her campaign. Dallas police said the department has used RollKall since November 2024 and that Robinson, posing as King, began using the system in April 2025. RollKall said in a statement that Robinson was not affiliated with the company. “RollKall is a technology platform used by law enforcement agencies, businesses, and organizations to manage off-duty assignments. The individual in question is not, and has never been, a RollKall employee. We can also confirm that at no point was this individual able to access or disseminate the personal data or personally identifiable information of any other person on the platform.” Police said Robinson also had a professional relationship with at least one sworn officer months before the shooting. Investigators said the officer recognized Robinson during the investigation and disclosed prior interactions. Following the shooting, Police Chief Daniel Comeaux issued a memo outlining changes to how the department uses the platform. Dallas police now prohibit officers from accepting off-duty jobs on RollKall if the job was created by an outside entity or agency. “On RollKall, there was a feature that allowed outside entities to go on RollKall and place jobs for hire for off-duty officers. That feature has since been turned off. So now, the special employment team personnel is the only working group that can add part time jobs on the platform,” said Executive Assistant Chief Monique Alex. The department said it will continue using RollKall while evaluating additional safety measures. Comeaux said the changes are intended to ensure officers follow department policy while maintaining access to off-duty work opportunities. ...read more read less
