DENVER — Denver Mayor Mike Johnston on Monday announced the creation of the Office of Neighborhood Safety, which will focus on keeping the community safe without involving the police.
“This unifies those services, makes them easy to access and makes them more community driven in terms of what community members need,” said Johnston.Denver task force focused on reimagining policing planning community-led think tank Dr. Ben Sanders, the city’s Chief Equity Officer, said the launch of the Office of Neighborhood Safety represents a new milestone for Denver.
Denver began looking at creating its own Office of Neighborhood Safety during the Hancock Administration. A feasibility study was released in April 2023, recommending the city create an ONS. In October 2023, Johnston rejected a recommendation from the Denver City Council to use $1.5 million to establish an Office of Neighborhood Safety but said it remained a priority of his administration.
Lisa Calderón, who co-chaired the Community Well-Being and Neighborhood Safety Committee for Johnston’s mayoral transition, said the mayor’s timing was more than suspect.
