Denver Police Division Chief Magen Dodge and her husband, Sgt. Justin Dodge, were placed on paid administrative leave Thursday after a disciplinary investigation found policy violations, the city’s Department of Public Safety said Friday. Both received letters recommending disciplinary action, department spokesperson Brent Weisberg said. The specific conduct identified by the investigation has not been publicly detailed. The couple may present mitigating information before the city makes final decisions, and officials have not set a timeline for the cases to conclude. The Department of Public Safety said an independent outside investigator worked on the inquiry. Denver’s Office of the Independent Monitor reviewed draft findings and recommendations, a step the department described as standard procedure. The city said it would not release more information while the disciplinary process is underway. CBS Colorado previously reported that Magen Dodge was accused of creating a toxic work environment and Justin Dodge of interfering with internal affairs investigations. Those allegations have not been publicly confirmed in the city’s limited statements. Denver police representatives did not respond to requests for comment, and the Dodges could not be reached. Magen Dodge has worked for the department for 27 years; Justin Dodge has served for 28. Magen Dodge previously filed a gender discrimination complaint against former Police Chief Robert White. The city agreed to pay her $280,000 and assign her to lead the department’s internal affairs division as part of a settlement. White was cleared of wrongdoing in an internal investigation and retired in 2018. Justin Dodge lost his left leg below the knee after being struck by a fire truck while providing security at the Denver Nuggets’ 2023 championship parade. He returned to work on the city’s SWAT team in 2024. The case leaves two experienced department members off duty while the city determines what discipline, if any, will follow the investigation. The findings and final outcomes have not been made public.
