Denver PD attempts to explain why reports were reclassified so they didn’t count as crimes
Feb 16, 2018 7:21 pm


The Denver Police Department (DPD) is attempting to explain why a total of 699 crime reports from 2016 and 2017 were reclassified so they did not count as official crimes, following an investigation by KCNC-TV.

The police department told the TV station the figures “should not have been changed,” and the status of the crimes is now in the process of being updated.

This came up in NYC in the 1960s. The downgrading of charges was attributed to precinct commanders being graded on the crime rate in their command areas.
