A community-led task force established in the wake of the Denver Police Department's heavy-handed response to the George Floyd protests just issued a series of recommendations that would transform the City of Denver's approach to public safety. “Our goal is to create a community-based public-safety model that protects and heals the community from centuries of violence and systemic oppression,” explains task force coordinator Robert Davis of the Greater Metro Denver Ministerial Alliance. Along with Davis, other members of the task force — which was funded by the Rose Community Foundation and Caring 4 Denver — include Xochitl Gaytan, who serves as co-chair of the Colorado Latino Forum, and Jill Locantore, executive director of WalkDenver. Various nonprofits also assisted the task force in its research, as did groups like the Vera Institute of Justice. Representatives from Denver City Council, the Denver District Attorney's Office, the Office of the Municipal Public Defender, the Office of the Independent Monitor and the Office of the Colorado State Public Defender also participated in the task force's work.
