A Denver Police Department officer, Troy Martin Smith, was recently arrested on suspicion of assault related to domestic violence. The incident took place in Brighton on Friday, resulting in Smith being charged with third-degree assault, a misdemeanor offense. Smith, who has been with the department since 2007, was most recently stationed at the Denver International Airport bureau. Following his arrest, he has been reassigned to a non-patrol position pending the outcome of his case.
The Denver Police Department has announced that they will conduct an administrative review of the incident once the criminal case has been resolved. Smith was released from jail after posting a $2,500 personal recognizance bond. As of now, his next court date has not been made public.
Domestic violence cases involving law enforcement officers are always concerning, as they are held to a higher standard due to their role in upholding the law. The department is likely to take this matter very seriously and ensure that justice is served. It is important for the public to have trust in law enforcement officers, and incidents like this can erode that trust.
