Mayor John Hickenlooper on Wednesday unveiled a sweeping plan for
civilian oversight of Denver police affairs, highlighted by adding an
independent monitor to critique police investigations and discipline.
The mayor also proposes to create a Citizen Oversight Board of
volunteers to evaluate the monitor's work and suggest policy changes.
The plan includes more teeth - such as allowing the monitor to conduct
his or her own investigations in certain circumstances - than
contemplated in Hickenlooper's earlier proposals.[more ]
