Denver City Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca will propose a bill that, if approved by a majority of her fellow legislators, will ask voters in November to replace the city’s police department with a “peace force” focused on preventing crime and reducing violence without using force.
The peace force would “subsume” the Denver Police Department, according to the draft proposal, which is not final and has not been approved by the City Attorney’s Office. Its language reflects demands from protesters who have called to abolish the police department and use the money for social services that treat the root causes of crime.
