A Denver police officer was arrested in Arvada Wednesday night in connection with an assault related to a domestic disturbance, the Denver Police Department said Thursday in a news release.
Officer Cody Haggard, who joined the department in 2024 and served District 4 patrol, was arrested on suspicion of simple assault, the release said. Details about the arrest were not provided by police.
Haggard was placed in an “off-line assignment” where he will remain while the case goes through the judicial process, the news release said.
The Denver Police Department’s administrative review of the incident will start once the criminal case is adjudicated, the release said. The Arvada Police Department is conducting the criminal investigation.
“The Denver Police Department is committed to transparency and accountability,” the release said. “When a Denver Police officer is arrested, DPD works to proactively share information in a timely manner, when possible. As with all arrests, the suspect is innocent until proven guilty.”
