DENVER — It's been less than a month since Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas was sworn in, but he's already facing candid questions about how he will tackle some of the most pressing challenges within the department and city.
Thomas is the second Black man to hold the rank of chief within the police department. Previously, he served as the commander of Police Districts 2 and 5. He also led Denver PD's Internal Affairs Division before being appointed to lead the patrol division in 2018. However, the actions of some Denver officers had been called into question long before the LoDo shooting. Back in March, a jury awarded $14 million in damages to 12 plaintiffs who argued excessive force was used by Denver police during the social justice protests of 2020.
According to the Denver Department of Finance, the proposed 2023 budget recommends a little more than $8 million for officer overtime pay. The 2022 budget allocated $6.5 million for overtime.
