The city council hereby determines and declares that employees of the City and County of Denver should never suffer retaliation from their supervisors or appointing authorities for communicating information about illegal activities, unethical practices or other forms of official misconduct experienced or witnessed by employees in the scope of their employment. The interests of the City and County of Denver and the larger interests of the citizens of Denver are served by encouraging all employees to speak out fully and frankly on any official misconduct which comes to their attention without fear of retaliation. Therefore, the purpose of this Article VII is to eliminate the possibility or the threat of any adverse employment action that may be taken against any city and county employee for reporting such information to appropriate reporting authorities.
