Denver7: The City of Denver plans to share more information about police-related lawsuits to increase transparency and accountability. It comes after a watchdog group called out the city for its lack of transparency regarding such lawsuits.

Over the past year, Denver has paid more than $17 million to settle police-related lawsuits, according to the Citizen Oversight Board, which seeks to hold the city’s law enforcement agencies accountable for their actions. Beyond that whopping dollar amount, hardly anything is known about those settlements.

The details of most settlement agreements involving police are not disclosed to the public.
