MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR
Michael B. Hancock
MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE

DIRECTOR OF SAFETY
Stephanie Y. OMalley
MAYOR OF DENVER
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF SAFETY
There is no greater mission for a mayor than to keep

neighborhoods safe and vibrant. When I took office in 2011,
I recognized there were parts of our community that felt
disconnected from the Denver Police Department. I knew
that repairing those relations and building trust between
our community and the men and women who serve and
protect were key to our success.
Whether its breaking a bad habit, starting a healthy one,

or adjusting your perspective, change takes commitment,
hard-work and perseverance. It is not for the faint of heart.
Together with Chief Robert White, whom I appointed for his

proven track record of transforming police departments to
better connect with the community and run more efficiently,
relations with the community have strengthened and the
department is working to prevent crime before it occurs by
reforming, retraining and recalibrating.
Now, as a department-wide mission, officers create positive
interactions with citizens and work closely with them to
help prevent crime. Additionally, the departments crime
prevention strategies have increased officer productivity,
reduced violent crime and positively impacted calls for
service.
Thanks to funds made available through the communitys
overwhelming support of 2A, more than 100 new officers
were hired in 2013 for the first time in five years, meaning
more officers patrolling Denvers streets. We expect to add
another 100 officers to the force by the end of 2014.
Perhaps that is why I am so proud of the Denver Police

Department and its officers for the way they have performed
during the past two years, in the face of tremendous
change.
I understand it has been difficult at times. I also understand
the changes are moving the police department in the
direction it needs to go; a direction Chief White has taken
other departments, elevating them from good departments
to great departments.
And make no mistake; the Denver Police Department is
one of the best police departments in the country.
Whether its Denvers state-of-the-art Crime Laboratory,
the departments success with large scale events, or its
unprecedented use of social media for police-community
relations; those who want to be the best look to Denver.
Thank you to every member of the Police Department for
doing your part to make Denver a city where everyone
matters. Your service and commitment to being the best is
truly inspiring.
Todays Denver Police Department is innovative, efficient,

and properly focused on crime prevention and community
relations. I am extremely proud of the departments
transformation over the past few years, and I cannot
express enough the profound gratitude we owe our officers
for selflessly putting their lives on the line to keep us all
safe.
On behalf of the City and County of Denver, we thank you
for your service and God bless you.
2013 ANNUAL REPORT
MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF

ROBERT C. WHITE
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.

*Organizational changes taking place between 2012 and 2013 do not allow for continuity in reporting.
Thanks to Denver voters, Measure 2A, which was passed in 2012,

has allowed the Denver Police Department to purchase 46 new
patrol cars. With 30% of the fleet past its useful life, this resulted
in an operational cost savings due to the high maintenance costs
associated with an aging fleet.
In addition, 2A allowed the department to hire a total of 110 police
recruits in 2013.
THE IMPORTANCE OF DIVERSITY

Denver is a diverse community, and so is the Denver Police
Department, as shown in the accompanying charts.
By participating in community outreach initiatives and
recruitment events throughout the city, the Denver
Police Department actively seeks to recruit and hire the
best qualified officers that represent the diversity of the
community which 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.
2013 ANNUAL REPORT
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.
10
RIGHT-SIZED APPOINTED POSITIONS (REALIGNMENT)

Beginning in April of 2012, all appointed positions for the ranks of detective, corporal and technician were revaluated and
the officers previously assigned to those positions were required to reapply. As part of the initial assessment, the duties and
responsibilities of the positions were clarified to more closely align with the specific rank and job function. In order to facilitate
such a huge undertaking, open interviews were conducted with the affected command staff for each particular position to
identify and match the most qualified officer with the appointment. This process effectively allowed many officers who had
been waiting in the wings to come forward and identify their individual talents and demonstrate their leadership skills.
After nearly 2,000 interviews, command staff selected their compliment of officers to fill the appointed positions under their
authority. In total, 47% of technicians, 52% of corporals and 79% of detectives were retained. Identifying the appropriate
aptitude within the department not only increased the personal motivation of the employee, but also resulted in a higher level
of production in service.
2013 ANNUAL REPORT
11
LEADERSHIP IN POLICE ORGANIZATIONSSM PROGRAM (LPOSM)

Leadership in Police OrganizationsSM (LPOSM) is a series of Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) certified courses,
modeled after a similar program by the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Denvers program is funded through the Colorado
Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP), and with a grant from POST. The program is designed to reinforce the idea that every
officer is a leader and, as such, leadership training should not be limited to those in leadership positions. Students are
mentored by senior instructors and engage in workshops and classroom instruction intended to teach people how to lead
groups and organizations. The classroom experience is punctuated by lecture, role-playing and discussion exercises, small
group interactions, journaling, and examination of case studies. Courses include such topics as leadership theory, practical
application of principles, process improvement, socialization, group interaction and cohesion, and conflict management.
The Denver Police Department has been actively involved in LPOSM since 2009; however, significantly more classes were
offered, and taken, in 2013 than in any prior year. As a result, over 250 officers of different ranks have benefited from the
instruction. Moving forward, the Department hopes to continue integrating LPOSM into officer training, in a continued effort to
make leaders of every officer on the force.
12
FLATTENING OF THE COMMAND STRUCTURE / SELECTION PROCESS

The flattening of any command structure addresses several major objectives: it increases the autonomy, individual authority
and personal accountability of the remaining positions. The flattening of the command structure within the Denver Police
Department meant that the rank of division chief would be eliminated altogether and the rank of commander would be
expanded. Under this new command structure, commanders manage their resources, identify the problems in their area of
responsibility and are held accountable in their effectiveness in addressing those issues.
In order to ensure the best candidates were identified, input was sought from the Denver community in order to identify the
six district commanders. Community input was deemed a necessary requirement due to the level of involvement the district
commanders must have with Denvers neighborhoods, along with understanding the importance of making the connections
between officers and the community.
NEW DIVISION: PLANNING, RESEARCH AND SUPPORT DIVISION

In January 2013, the Planning, Research and Support Division went into operation. The division is comprised of civilian and
sworn staff, providing direct support to the Chief of Police and senior staff.
Among its numerous responsibilities the division is tasked with providing research and analytical services to support
innovative policing operations and public safety practices, provide research assistance to operational and administrative
components of the department concerning a wide range of criminal justice and management issues, feasibility studies,
project/program evaluations, and the drafting and maintenance of agency-level policy and procedural manuals.
One of the primary projects handled in 2013 was the development of a new Performance Evaluation System for sworn officers.
The development of the project included input from the departments senior staff, as well as researching the evaluation
systems of other law enforcement agencies. The project resulted in an evaluation system customized to each individual
officers assignment and responsibilities, connecting the departments overall strategic plan to the specific strategic plan in
each division. The Performance Evaluation System went into effect January 1, 2014.
Other significant projects included the research supporting the civilianization of Crime Scene Investigators (CSI) and
researching Civilian Report Technician (CRT) programs across the nation. The first CRTs were hired in 2014, and the program
is fully operational. In 2013, the Denver Police Department hired its first academy recruit class since 2008. The Planning
Division ensured the accuracy of, and updated the Operations Manual for the academy curriculum. One of the major projects
underway is the rewrite/update of the departments Operations Manual; an on-going project through mid 2015.
As the Denver Police Department moves toward the future, the Planning, Research & Support Division will continue to
have a significant role in supporting the departments efforts, mission and goals as a leading law enforcement agency, and
partnership with the communities of Denver.
2013 ANNUAL REPORT

UNIFIED SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT (US&C)

In 2009, the City of Denver invested in an infrastructure that streamlines the electronic flow of information between city
criminal justice systems, including the City Attorneys Office, the District Attorneys Office, the Denver Sheriff Department, the
courts, and the Denver Police Department. Over the course of the subsequent three years, these agencies worked together
to create an electronic workflow for the exchange of information related to criminal justice records and this infrastructure has
become to be known as the Unified Summons and Complaint (US&C) system.
The US&C system was designed to automate and streamline the submission and maintenance of arrestee criminal justice
records initiated by Denver police officers. The US&C effectively consolidates nine different paper forms and has integrated all
five criminal justice systems throughout the city. The US&C consolidated nine different reports, integrating five criminal justice
systems throughout the city. Establishing the electronic workflow lessened the chance of error by eliminating repeated manual
entry, potential for lost filings and the associated delays.
At the completion of a pilot program taking place in District 2 in late 2012, results showed that efficiency was improved and
data integrity was maintained. To date, approximately 900 street officers have been trained in the US&C system which has
reduced the paper footprint generated by the department, increased the efficiency of accurately reporting arrest and crime
data information, and allows the department to provide real time information to its criminal justice system partners throughout
the city.

LeadsOnline: The Nations Largest Online Investigation System

LeadsOnline is an online technology service helping law enforcement catch criminals, while helping businesses reduce the
hassles of reporting. When property is purchased at pawnshops or at a second-hand retail location throughout Denver, law
requires that the operator maintain an accurate record of every transaction. Information documented for every transaction
includes the property serial number, ownership of the property and can also include the owners fingerprint. Prior to
LeadsOnline, the Denver Police Departments Property Recovery Unit would conduct periodic checks to verify and ensure
compliance.
LeadsOnline streamlines the record keeping process by allowing the pawnshop/second-hand operator to send the transaction
information to local law enforcement electronically where at that point the serial numbers are compared against criminal
justice records in order to solve crimes. Information contained within LeadsOnline is available to all law enforcement
participants nationwide. The Denver Police Departments Property Recovery Unit recovered $69,695 in property from
LeadsOnline hits alone in the first quarter of 2013. Currently, five of the eleven Denver pawnshops participate in LeadsOnline
and the goal is to get all pawnshops within Denver to register with and use LeadsOnline.

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
Excludes traffic accidents, traffic moving violations and other traffic offenses.

WHEN DUTY CALLED, THERE WAS NO THOUGHT BUT ANSWER;

NO QUESTION, BUT THE TASK THAT MUST BE DONE.
THOUGH DEATH THEIR FINAL PAYMENT FOR THE VICTORY,
FOR HONOR WAS THE BATTLE FOUGHT, AND WON.
NO MONUMENT STANDS HIGHER THAN THEIR VALOR;
NO WORDS REPLACE THE LOSS OF HEROES, SLAIN.
BUT IF THEIR NAMES, REMEMBERED, GIVE US COURAGE,
THEIR SACRIFICE SHALL NOT HAVE BEEN IN VAIN.

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
