DENVER -- Denver's Independent Police Monitor will release a report Thursday, criticizing Denver Police for giving "preferential treatment" to off-duty officers pulled over for driving drunk.

In the report, Richard Rosenthal notes that since monitoring began in 2005, not a single Denver Police officer has been arrested for DUI by another DPD officer without having first been involved in a traffic collision.

"During the same time period, however, ten DPD officers have been arrested for DUI in other jurisdictions, with only two of those arrests ensuing from a traffic collision," Rosenthal says.
