Dallas PD officer to plead guilty to possession of child pornography charge

A Dallas Police Department officer will plead guilty to a possession of child pornography charge, and could get up to 20 years in prison.

Daniel Collins, who was a senior corporal assigned to DPD’s Auto Theft Unit, used a city computer to upload sexually explicit pictures of children, and then shared them online.
