Three Denver Police Officers Fired for Inappropriate Messages About Migrant Shelters

Investigation reveals officers joked about using shelters for 'target practice,' prompting immediate terminations.

The messages were shared in a group chat among officers who attended the training academy together.
The officers were still in their probationary period at the time of their dismissal.
Denver Police Department reported the terminations to Colorado Peace Officer Standards and Training.
Remaining officers in the chat will undergo additional equity and inclusivity training.
The department emphasized that the messages contradicted its mission and values.
