Thirty years of service. Countless second chances. One belief that has remained constant: people can change.
Before Greg Mauro built a career in community corrections, he thought he might spend his life studying fish. But a job at a youth residential center changed his path — introducing him to people whose lives had been shaped by addiction, trauma and the criminal justice system.
Today, Mauro leads Denver’s Community Corrections Division, working in a part of public safety that often happens outside the public eye. His teams help people navigate pretrial supervision, residential programs and the difficult process of successfully returning to the community.
“If you don’t have a fundamental belief that people can change, this probably isn’t the career for you,” Mauro said, recalling advice from an early mentor.
Over three decades with the City and County of Denver, Mauro has seen programs evolve, approaches change and plenty of setbacks along the way. But he’s also seen the small wins that can change the course of someone’s life — a new job, reconnecting with family or making a different choice.
As Mauro puts it: “Sometimes the wins are small.” After 30 years, his work remains grounded in the idea that public safety requires accountability, but also treatment, supervision, support and opportunities for people to build more stable lives.
Thank you, Greg, for 30 years of service to Denver and for continuing to believe in what’s possible.👏
