Denver Police have met with controversy and protest over several high-profile incidents that have led them to include citizens in their Disciplinary Review Board and Use of Force Review Board. Accusations of police brutality and corruption have increased in recent years. Officers have been suspected of several forms of misconduct ranging from drunk driving, perjury, falsifying reports, false arrest, unprovoked beatings, and unnecessary shootings.
