The newly-empowered Denver Citizen Oversight Board rejected the three finalists for the city’s top law enforcement watchdog position and instead decided to restart the search process more than a year after the job was vacated.

after the candidates completed interviews with a screening committee, interviews with the board, interviews with internal city stakeholders and two public meetings.

“Though each candidate has admirable experience, qualifications and a lot to offer their respective communities, none were quite the right fit for the particular challenges and opportunities the next monitor will face in Denver,” the Citizen Oversight Board said in a news release. “We did not have the stakeholder consensus on a top candidate that we felt we needed to hire one of the three candidates.

The board planned to make a hire this month, but said in the news release that it is now hoping to have a new monitor hired by late summer.
