Voters Will Decide Whether Denver Will Get an "Independent Police Monitor"
The Denver City Council cleared the way late Monday for voters to decide in November on aspects of the city's plan to hire an independent police monitor. The council voted 11-2 to put on the November ballot a single item allowing the monitor's office access to restricted records such as police personnel records and to make the monitor's six-member staff serve at the will of the mayor. The changes would be made to the city's charter. The council must vote on the matter again Aug. 30, but such votes on second reading rarely differ from the first. [more
