Aurora Pride said it could not bring the required number officers on board 'despite... tireless efforts.'
Aurora Pride said in a statement that the Aurora Police Department said it could not supply enough officers to maintain safety, and tasked Aurora Pride with finding officers from other jurisdictions to fill the gap.
The City of Aurora confirmed in a statement that it issued a Notice of Revocation for the parade because the Aurora Pride board could not secure enough police officers. The city emphasized that the Aurora Police Department had provided 70 percent of the officers for the parade. As it is, the Aurora Police Department has already been struggling to get officers to work overtime to fill staff shortages, sick calls, and vacation time with overtime – while also ensuring there are enough officers on patrol to ensure public safety in the city, police said – adding that fewer officers want to work extra shifts than in the past.
"Our position has been misrepresented, and we're making every effort to keep the parade as scheduled," Aurora Pride said."Thank you for your steadfast support, and please hang tight."
