MAYOR OF DENVER
Violent crime is down in Denver, and so are calls for police service. Add to that the two-fold increase in officer productivity, and
you can understand why I am so proud of the members of this police department.
From my first days in Denver, I repeatedly said that the single most important factor in preventing crime is a patrol officer. I
also said that to be effective, those patrol officers needed good supervision by supervisors who understood the reason for
change and believed they were the impetus for change. There is no doubt in my mind that the successes we are seeing in
crime reduction and increased productivity are a result of the great work being done by patrol officers and the leadership of
their supervisors.
That is not the end of the incredible police work being done in Denver. Our detectives are clearing cases at significantly higher
percentages then they were in 2009, 2010, and 2011. These clearance rates are much higher than the data driven predictive
model would expect. Add to this a world-class crime lab, a fantastic cadre of civilian employees, and high-quality support
services from all over the police department and you can understand why we are so excited for the future of the Denver Police
Department.
The Denver Police Department continues to evolve into an agency that will be a model for all law enforcement. This would not
be possible without the commitment and dedication of our employees.
My future commitment is that we will not rest on our laurels. We will continue to look for ways to improve, innovate and seek
out and develop the best practices for crime reduction to enhance the lives of the people we serve.

CHANGE
In 2012, Chief Robert C. White identified several critical components to the success of the Denver Police Department. These
included; the flattening of the command structure, the selection of the departments six district commanders, civilianization,
and a realignment process which required officers throughout the department to reapply for their appointed positions.
The message was clear, the Denver Police Department was going to go through a major organizational change and would
reemerge as a department that would put more officers on the street and create a force that was more responsive to the
community. Although, the initial changes began in 2012, it was in 2013 that the successes of the departments endeavors
were realized.
DECENTRALIZATION
In 2012, a study was initiated to increase the number of resources to patrol districts with the ultimate purpose of crime
prevention and safety. Accident cars and detectives tasked with conducting investigative follow-up for narcotic investigations,
street robberies and assaults were redeployed to the district level. Prior to implementing a decentralized approach to policing,
staffing at the patrol districts was at 48% of the Departments total authorized strength. Today, staffing in the patrol districts
stands at 65%.
By shifting police resources from a centralized location and reallocating them to a patrol district, greater decision-making
authority is afforded to the district commanders. Working in collaboration with crime analysts to identify crime patterns and
responding to citizens safety concerns; district commanders can more effectively direct preventative patrol measures in order
to improve quality of life issues, increase community safety and respond to emerging crime trends.
CIVILIANIZATION
In 2013, the Denver Police Department implemented the first phase of transitioning sworn officers out of non-enforcement
positions, replacing them with civilians. Following the path of many other municipalities, the department analyzed the need
for uniformed officers in desk jobs, and how non-uniformed expertise could be used to free up trained officers to return to
assignments that require a gun and a badge.
Determining which positions could be filled by specially trained civilians was based on the following criteria:
whether or not the position required the exercise of law enforcement powers
were the skills, training, or experience of a sworn officer required to fulfill the duties of the position
was it important to keep sworn staff in the position for other reasons
Based on the criteria, positions throughout the department were identified for civilianization. The Civil Liability Unit replaced
detectives with paralegals and the Property Management Bureau civilianized the Property and Evidence Technician positions.
The organizational change had the greatest impact in the departments Crime Laboratory; transitioning approximately 14
civilians into the Crime Scene Investigator (CSI) and Latent Print Examiner positions.
By increasing civilianization, the department is expected to see an added benefit of an annual cost savings of approximately
$617,000. But most importantly, it allows the Denver Police Department to increase its uniformed officer presence
throughout the city and continue to ensure the safety of its residents.

CRIME STATISTICS
The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) Uniform Crime Report (UCR) is a summary reporting system that tracks statistics
submitted by police agencies. Developed in the 1920s as a tool to compare national crime statistics, the UCR program
distinguishes crimes by Part I, including the eight more serious crimes: homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary,
larceny, auto theft and arson and Part II, which encompasses all other crime. UCR works on a hierarchy based method of
counting crime. Only the highest crime committed during an incident per the hierarchy, is counted. To compare crime trends
to other jurisdictions using UCR data, please visit the FBI website at www.fbi.gov/ucr/ucr.htm.

* In May 2013, the Denver Police Department implemented the Unified Summons and Complaint (US&C) process. This process unifies multiple types of paper citations, excluding traffic tickets, into an electronic process. That
information is transmitted to the Denver Sheriff, County Court, City Attorney and District Attorney through a data exchange platform as needed. As a result of this process, a reported offense is generated which was previously not
captured. For comparison purposes, crimes which were captured due to the US&C process were excluded from the data when comparing 2012 to 2013. An additional column has been added to the table to reflect the actual
number of crimes.
** Includes both petty and grand larceny, however excludes theft from motor vehicle

The Denver Police Foundation is a nonprofit, charitable organization whose goal is to generate community support to provide
equipment, training and technology to aid the Denver Police Departments officers and enhance public safety.
Created in 1999, the Denver Police Officers Foundation provided support to the families of Denver police officers who were
injured or killed in the line of duty. In 2003, the foundation divided into two distinct groups. The Denver Police Foundation,
with a mission focusing on promoting and enhancing public safety; and the Denver Police Officers Foundation, embracing the
original mission of providing officer and family support. Each unit, in its own way, has provided equipment and programming
that promote officer safety, prevention of crime in the city, and community involvement advocacy.
Since its inception, the Foundation has provided a substantial amount of money and resources in support of officers and
families. In 2013, the Foundation provided support to the Denver Police Department in the following areas:
DPD Social Media Program
Chiefs Community Promotions
Police Explorers Program
