Englewood PD Redefines Force Use | Denver News

Englewood PD is rewriting how it responds to calls—down 30% in force use since 2023, ditching brute force for de-escalation, mental health co-responders, and drones to keep people safe. They’re not aiming for zero force, but smarter, justified use—with every incident reviewed by a legal oversight team that recently fired an officer over a chokehold.

Crime’s still out there, but their approach is evolving—with accountability and community trust at the core. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
