Aurora lawmakers ratify new police chief amid complaints about no public process

Aurora Sentinel: A loud chorus of protesters chanting “shame on you” and “vote them out” followed Aurora City Council’s ratification on Monday of the city’s new police chief.

Eight council members voted to approve former Los Angeles Police Commander Todd Chamberlain for the top job at Aurora’s beleaguered police department. 

Council members Rubin Medina and Crystal Murillo opposed his appointment, siding with the protesters that the city should have invited community input about a police chief hire before announcing Chamberlain’s appointment late last week as a done deal.
