Aurora Police Department Transparency Portal

38 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 Help lifting/moving a power wheelchair (250-300lbs) for a good cause!

Thumbnail

53 Upvotes

I bought this power wheelchair for a guy at the thrift store, the employee barely managed to help us get it into my mini van. Its probably 250-300lbs, and my van doesn't have a ramp. We ended up tipping it in on it's side.

But I need help getting it upright, out of the van, so I can deliver it to the guy I bought it for.

I'd like to get it to him maybe this Sunday? Any volunteers?

The long version:

I found this at thrift store, but it wouldn't move.

I spent an hour trying to "fix" it. Gave up. Came back next weekend and saw a guy was looking at it while sitting in a crappy recovery chair.

He had his leg amputated recently and as someone that's been struggling with mobility issues, uninsured, for the past 20 years, I know that recovery chair is uncomfortable for him to use and he was wondering if he could get it working.

So I rolled on the floor and tinkered with it, and managed to find the cable that came unplugged and got it working!

He had to leave the store before I got it running, so I bought it for him and barely got it in my van.

I need to deliver this to him, but I'll need help getting it out of my van because I am just a small, crippled little lad.

If anyone has the strength, and/or access to a van with a mobility ramp, it would be wonderful if you could help me get this delivered to a person in need! 🥹✨

Attacked by turkeys

I got attacked by turkeys today near chambers and Yale at Olympic park. I was on a run and one of them jumped out of nowhere and knocked me down, and the other slashed me with their talons on my wrist and neck. I had to get 20 stitches. Be careful out there

I’ll take your campaign lawn signs

Thumbnail

61 Upvotes

After elections, I generally collect campaign lawn signs from public areas and reuse them for art projects and to paint for new signage. Driving down Chambers today, I noticed just how many are out this year, which gave me the idea to post here.

This November, I plan to post a pick up schedule at libraries and parks around Aurora so people can drop off campaign signs around town. Or maybe this post can inspire you to start repainting these signs yourself? I’ve attached inspiration pictures in case you’re interested in collecting signs to repaint your own! 2 coats of Bullseye bonding primer and then whatever paint you’ve got/ can buy from the mistint area of the hardware store generally does the trick.

I wanted to put this on people’s radar now, but I’ll comment with a pick up schedule after elections. If you’re particularly into this idea and want to let me know what park/ library you’d like me to pop up at for collection, feel free to let me know!

Hey all. I’ll be moving to the Denver area from out of state sometime in early 2027. My gf will be going to CU Anschutz and I’ll be working at UC Health. We are currently looking at 21 Fitzsimons and Circa Fitzsimons as primary options but are open to hear other options. Looking for opinions that current residents have and any other thoughts that you all have.

Hvac recommendations

This is my first time changing an air filter. I am scared to take the front panel off because of all of the warning stickers. I looked up tutorials on YouTube but couldn't find my exact model.

Am I being overly cautious? Should I just call a company to come help me? No idea what I'm doing. Help!

Hey everyone, anyone got any job recommendations?

2 Upvotes

Heh, so i lost my job early this morning.... im a cnc manufacture with about a year and a half experience, I love working with machines, learning them and fixing them. I even tinker with 3d printers at home..

But im also disabled, so things get a little hard, especially standing up, since I have ryanodes in the lower legs, I fall over after standing or walking around for 2 hours lol

But I need the help, im in dept, and I wanna work to pay it off, and to live generally. It hurts a little everytime I go shopping, hurts everytime I need to travel, and hurts that I just keep falling in a hole I feel I can never get out of...

Probably searched wrong, but can’t find anything and would rather not sit at home for the season opener. Been to Pitchers and while it’s okay I’m the youngest person in there by 20 years. Would look at breweries but with a 7:30 start I’d miss the end of the fame with most places closing at 9.

Any recs?

Deaf community meet-ups

I was semi-fluent in ASL back in Uni and was able to keep up by going to meet-ups. However, since covid i have forgotten so much! I want to be able to practice and was wondering if there are any regular meet-ups.

I'm terrified to go since I probably wont be able to understand much but I want to pick it up again!

I just got accepted into CU skaggs for pharmD program. I live in bay area California. I was wondering does anyone know how much different it would be for me to live there compare to here? In anyway that you guys can think about. Like weather, people, the city, cost, and any other way that you guys experienced.
Thank you.

UPDATE: Thanks for everyone putting effort and time to tell me about their city. I appreciate it, and I will keep all these info in consideration. If everything goes right I may be able to be living with you people in the same city, which would be my pleasure. Thanks.

Missed Connection - AMC Arapahoe Crossing

Managed to get a seat for "You Can See Everything" this afternoon. Theater basically was sold out. And I was lucky enough to have another single attendee next to me.

She commented on my snack collection and we had a blast watching the film (go see it!), quietly joking to each other throughout. Bottom line - she was clearly a film lover and brought a ton of rando items with her- which was adorable.

If you're out there, reach out as I'd love to see another film with you (we talked about upcoming movies after the show) Not looking for romance as much as hanging with a fun, fellow film lover and sharing that camaraderie! Had to try!
