A dozen Dallas police officers have been implicated in a pyramid scheme, the department has told the Dallas City Council in a memo obtained by The Dallas Morning News.

A police spokesman confirmed Friday that multiple officers were on leave but said he did not know how many and could not say what division or divisions they belonged to.
