§ 2-387. Investigations by the Denver district attorney's office.

(a)

The procedures relating to the monitor's office's actively monitoring and participating in criminal investigations conducted by the Denver district attorney's office ("DA") shall be established by an intergovernmental agreement between the City and County of Denver and the DA. That agreement shall address, among other things, reasonable access by the monitor's office to the crime scene at the earliest feasible time, witness interviews, and other evidentiary items and the monitor's role in making recommendations regarding those investigations.

(b)

Upon completion of the DA's investigation, but not later than sixty (60) calendar days from the date of the incident, the IAB from either the department of safety, police or sheriff department shall open a file and initiate an administrative investigation of the incident unless the manager of safety in consultation with the DA determines that the administrative investigation would jeopardize the DA's investigation.

(c)

The DA's investigation will be considered to be complete:

(1)

When the DA files criminal charges against any uniformed personnel involved in the shooting; or

(2)

When the DA issues a public letter stating that it does not intend to file criminal charges against any of the uniformed personnel involved in the shooting.
