Aurora Sentinel: Next week is scheduled to bring something long lost back to Aurora: a permanent police chief.

Former Los Angeles Police Department commander Todd Chamberlain is slated to take the reins of the beleaguered and embattled Aurora Police Department Sept. 9. 

Chamberlain will be the first permanent police chief since former Chief Vanessa Wilson was sacked in 2022 in a political war among city lawmakers over how much police reform is too much police reform. 

Chamberlain faces a nearly impossible challenge in Aurora, where opposing forces compete to steer the chief, and ultimately the city’s 650-person department.
