Denver Mayor wants cop monitor.
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.
