DENVER — The City of Denver is responding to 112 recommendations from a community task force looking to reimagine public safety.
The City of Denver says out of the 112 recommendations, 74% are already being implemented and only 15% were declined, some due to legal reasons. “I am happy to say I know of at least two times we have been able to recruit and have people. I have one person I recruited myself with lived experience who is now a Denver sheriff's deputy,” said Denver Public Safety Director Armando Saldate in the meeting Wednesday.
“Not only do we not have that skill set, I know we don’t even have the culture right now to be able to do that. That is one of the reasons I searched for the ABLE concept,” Thomas said.
