DENVER — Denver city officials on Wednesday detailed their plans to roll out the new Office of Neighborhood Safety , a process they expect to take eight to 12 weeks.
“We want those to all be under one roof. We want them to be easy to access for the community,” said Johnston. Sanders appeared before the Denver City Council’s Safety, Housing, Education & Homelessness Committee on Wednesday to provide councilmembers with a detailed plan for OSN’s rollout. Both Sanders and the mayor have talked about the importance of community involvement with OSN. But members of the Denver Task Force to Reimagine Policing and Public Safety, which was created after the killing of George Floyd in 2020, said they have been left out of the process, despite its members developing recommendations and pushing for the creation of an OSN.
Davis said after the mayor rejected their recommendations, they decided to create their own office outside the city government.“It’s like a child who abandons a toy until others show interest in it, and then he wants it back,” said Davis. “But it’s too late because this initiative belongs to the community, and we will see it through to fruition.”
