Former Denver police recruit who lost his legs reflects on traumatic hazing experience


Victor Moses had dreamt of becoming a police officer since middle school. However, his dream was shattered during a training exercise at the Denver Police Department, where he was hazed and ended up losing both his legs. Moses suffered severe injuries, including compartment syndrome, rhabdomyolysis, malignant hyperthermia, and severe hyperkalemia, requiring multiple surgeries and a lengthy hospital stay. The lawsuit filed by Moses alleges that the department had a culture of violence, hazing, and unsafe training practices. Paramedics allegedly downplayed the severity of his injuries, causing delays in his care. Moses expressed a desire to return to policing in the future, either as an officer or as an advocate for police recruits to ensure that hazing and mistreatment are prevented. Despite the physical and emotional impact of the incident, Moses remains determined to move forward and continue his recovery, though he acknowledges that he will never fully regain his previous self. The lawsuit also points to a need for accountability and reform within police training programs to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
