Denver Board of Ethics

The Board of Ethics administers the Denver Code of Ethics, which regulates the employees, elected officials, appointed officials and board and commission members of the Denver city government.

The Board also:

• Gives advice about ethics issues 
• Investigates complaints submitted by city employees  or citizens about ethics issues regarding Denver city government personnel
• Works with the Office of Human Resources to provide ethics training to city personnel.

• Submit Complaint Form (Revised 7/2014) to Board of Ethics.
  *Note:  Board of Ethics is not able to accept complaints about actions that took place more than two years before the date of filing the complaint.
• The Board of Ethics is required to send a copy of the complaint to the person who is the subject of the complaint.
• The Board of Ethics will then screen the written complaint and determine whether a public hearing is warranted to consider the complaint.
