The suspension means Aurora PD will not respond to Denver’s calls for help during major civil disturbances.
AURORA, Colo. — Aurora City Council voted 5-4 on Monday in favor of suspending the Aurora Police Department's mutual aid agreement with the Denver Police Department.Aurora Michael Coffman, who introduced the resolution during Monday's city council meeting, said Denver refused to accept legal responsibility for Aurora officers who responded to Denver's request for help during the 2020 summer protests.
Aurora sued Denver over the matter in May, asking a district court to declare that Denver is legally responsible for the Aurora officers who responded to DPD’s request for mutual aid.. "Until they agree to indemnify our officers on what occurred in 2020 after the George Floyd protests, in going forward, it's just not feasible to send our officers into Denver under a mutual aid agreement," Coffman said during Monday's meeting.
Coffman said he and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston — who was sworn in Monday morning — spoke briefly on the issue. He said he's willing to renew the agreement if Johnston commits to indemnifying Aurora officers. The Follow UpWhat do you want Denver7 to follow up on?
