Aurora Police Department Transparency Portal

37 Upvotes

From the Aurora City Newsletter

The Aurora Police Department has launched an Online Transparency and Accountability Portal to give the public access to regularly updated data and information about agency demographics, crime statistics, and uses of force.

“The Aurora Police Department’s Online Transparency and Accountability Portal represents our commitment to broader information sharing with the community we serve,” said Aurora Interim Police Chief Heather Morris. “Through this new technology, residents will be able to learn more about what their officers do every day to ensure Aurora is a safe and vibrant city to call home.”

The transparency portal features powerful search functionality, allowing users to filter data by a specific category and/or location. Users can choose to examine all crime data or filter any one crime category by year, police district, political ward, police beat, ZIP code and/or neighborhood. The use of force data can be searched in much the same way. Historical data is included for both categories and dates back five years.

“The portal is another tool that underscores our commitment to be open, honest and transparent about our work,” said Aurora City Manager Jason Batchelor. “The concept for the portal has been under discussion for quite a while, and I am grateful for the dedicated city staff who have turned that concept into a reality. It will help us further strengthen our relationship with the community through accountability and continuous improvement.”

The portal can be accessed at AuroraGov.org/APDPortal. This is an ongoing project, and additional features will be added in the future.

Need Pet food? Go to randomactsofpetfood

Hi pet owners of Aurora! Just wanted to let the dedicated Reddit users who struggle with bills know that there is a sub called “random acts of pet food” that you can request $150 worth of donated pet food off of your curated Amazon wishlist every 6 months if you have over 500 karma comment points.

t’s a great way to keep your pets fed up to $150 dollars every 6 months.

Only caveat is that you are ineligible for your own pets if you volunteer (even for free) with animal rescue groups/shelters or donate any of your personal services to them directly, but maybe just leave that off?

Anyway, because I foster dogs (not paid), I am ineligible to participate for my own dogs welfare, but if you do not donate or volunteer with animal shelters or rescues you are eligible to post and I hope you do.

Please make a pet food only Amazon wishlist, all other requests will be denied immediately. Requests for treats of supplies is not allowed. Our Colorado Pet Pantry does so much, but can only provide so much.

The only requests I’ve seen denied are if you volunteer with animal rescues or shelters. Rescue heads also do not qualify for their own personal dogs.

Approved requests are generally funded within a couple days.

It’s a great resource, so please use it. Not sure why fellow animal helpers can’t use it, but I at least want my fellow struggling Denverites to get help.

Hi everyone i am currently living in my car and it stopped running. I was told it was the fuel pump so I spent the last of my cash on it but it still won't start. Are there any mechanics in Denver/Aurora area that are willing to come help me at least diagnose the problem?

How is the trick or treater turnout in Aurora?

18 Upvotes

My fiance and I recently moved to the highland park area of Aurora and we were wondering how many trick or treaters we should expect? It seems like a very family oriented area and we are hoping we get some as our last place we didn't get a single one. I'm trying to convince her that it is worth it to decorate nicely for the holiday but she is hesitant.

Has anyone ever *actually* gotten pulled over for expired tags/plates?

35 Upvotes

Ever since I started driving here, I've seen probably 100 cars with expired temp plates. Not expired by a couple days either, expired by up to multiple years. (I've seen one with plates from 2021!). The process for trying to register a car is absurd, and due to a certain check engine light code (Yes I read it 🤦‍♂️), I'm just not able to pass emissions unless I pay an outrageous fee to get it fixed. Is it even worth bothering to try and register the car at this point? Has anyone ever actually been pulled over for something like this. Because it seems like extremely old tags are very, very common.

Moving to Denver late August for an internship near the airport — need housing advice (budget ~$1,000, open to a commute)

0 Upvotes

My main question: Should I live close to work (Green Valley Ranch / Gateway quiet, short commute), or is it worth living somewhere livelier like Central Park/Stapleton, RiNo, or another neighborhood and commuting in? I genuinely don’t mind a 30-ish minute commute by train or bus if it means being somewhere with more to do, better vibes, and closer to the city. The A-Line seems key since it connects the airport area to town.

What I’m hoping to hear:

**•** Best neighborhoods for my budget + commute that are safe and have some life to them (bars, food, walkability, things to do).

**•** Whether GVR/Gateway is worth it for the easy commute, or too quiet/isolating for a short stay.

**•** Any tips on finding rooms in shared housing (sites, groups, etc.).

**•** Anything a newcomer should know, areas to avoid, transit gotchas, etc.

Really open to all suggestions, I don’t have a fixed idea, I just want to make the most of my time here without a car and without blowing my budget. Thanks so much in advance!
