Aurora establishes oversight office to monitor policing practices in a city with a troubling track record

The Denver Post: Aurora will stand up an oversight office to monitor critical operations within its police department and other public safety agencies after years of controversial and heavily criticized policing practices in Colorado’s third-largest city.

The City Council voted to establish the Office of Public Safety Accountability at Monday night’s meeting. It could be up and running by the fall, City Attorney Pete Schulte told The Denver Post.

“We will start the recruitment process this summer and hope to have the manager hired soon thereafter,” he said.
