An employee at the Dallas Police Department was fired following accusations that she lied about her college degree to receive a promotion.
Gina Fowler-Strickland, who was a police report representative, was terminated on Thursday after a disciplinary hearing with the police chief, Fox 4 reported.
The police department said Strickland was fired for “engaging in adverse conduct when she was arrested for the offense of fraudulent, substandard or fictitious degree.”
Strickland was charged in June 2023 with fraud/fictitious degree over allegations she was lying about a postsecondary degree to receive a promotion a year before, court records show, according to Fox 4.
She failed to show up to a court hearing, and a warrant was issued for her arrest in September. The warrant, however, was later recalled, although it is unclear why.
Court records revealed that the district attorney’s office eventually dismissed the charge in November after Strickland completed a pre-trial intervention program.

Capability doesn’t matter. Gotta have them papers.
Why lie when this creature could have easily gotten an AA degree in grievance studies and not even shown up?
The technological education in America is very good. We mock American education due to lack of high standards , wokeisms, safe spaces, triggering, fraud, cancelling culture , useless areas of study...etc...
Defrauded a government agency. Not just a civil matter. Lying to a friend is wrong....lying to a police officer is legally actionable.
It IS a man; note the Adam’s apple.

Gina Fowler-Strickland lied, and was terminated.
One suspects that one day in the future, the lying will be reversed. That is, applicants will deny having diplomas from colleges to ensure their hiring.
Maybe not with the FBI; they’d be too busy trying to discern your motive.
