Aurora Police Department

Aurora Police Department (CO)

The Aurora Police Department serves roughly 396,976 residents. If you had a problem with an officer, you have three distinct ways to file a complaint — and they are not equivalent. Here is how each one works in Aurora, based on Sivil's audit of public records and agency websites.

1. Independent Review Board — independent civilian oversight

The Independent Review Board is a civilian agency that reviews complaints about Aurora Police Department officers outside the department's own chain of command — your complaint is not investigated by colleagues of the officer involved. It accepts anonymous complaints, so you can file without giving your name. No notarization is required to file.
