The investigation revealed that an off-duty officer was listening to “audio porn” over his Bluetooth in his personal vehicle, and it was captured on his radio.

FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. — An internal affairs investigation is underway after "audio porn" was broadcast over the Fairfax County Police radio system early Sunday morning, the department said.

The police department said in a news release that they were made aware of "inappropriate radio transmissions" broadcast just after midnight.

"Our Internal Affairs Bureau quickly investigated this alleged misconduct and the police officer involved was interviewed," the police department said in a news release.
