Aurora Sentinel: Many of the highest-profile examples of Aurora police involved in misconduct and controversy — which have turned Aurora into the nexus of Colorado’s police reform debate — are absent from the Colorado Peace Officer Standards and Training database.

For some Aurora Police Department cops whose misconduct doesn’t appear in the database, it’s simply a matter of their behavior predating the board’s reporting period of 2022 and forward. For others, investigative failures and unprosecuted criminal conduct mean their publicly-visible disciplinary records don’t reflect their misbehavior, which has damaged the public’s trust in APD.
