Denver Mayor Mike Johnston will launch a new office within city government focused on neighborhood safety — one that will be independent from the city’s police force and its safety department…
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston announced plans to create a Department of Neighborhood Safety during a press conference outside in the parking lot of the Park Hill Boys and Girls Club in Denver on May 13, 2024. A Denver Police officer listens as Mayor Johnston talks about the new department that would oversee programs seen as alternatives to traditional policing.
Ben Sanders, the city’s chief equity officer and director of that office, said one of his first steps in standing up the new office would be convening a community advisory board to oversee and provide feedback on those efforts.“The vision that drives our work every day is to be a city where race and other social identities no longer predict your life outcomes. That’s not true in Denver right now,” Sanders said. “It can be true through this work and work just like it.
