Denver Board of Ethics

Welcome to the site of the Denver Board of Ethics. The Board of Ethics administers the Denver Code of Ethics (PDF), 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 Career Service Authority to provide ethics training to city personnel.

How to File a Complaint

The steps below outline the process for submitting a complaint:

Submit Complaint Form (PDF - Revised 12/2011 to Board of Ethics

The Board of Ethics will then screen the written complaint and determine whether a public hearing is warranted to consider the complaint.
