Members of the Aurora City Council voted Monday to confirm Todd Chamberlain as the new police chief. Several citizens voiced strong opposition, criticizing the lack of community involvement in the decision-making process.
Aurora City Manager Jason Batchelor described Chamberlain as a “seasoned professional who has a deep understanding of fair, ethical, consistent and constitutional policing.”
Councilmembers in favor of Chamberlain asked the community to give him a chance.
“We’ve had revolving door of interim police chiefs, and we need stability in this department. You guys want accountability. You want us to have better training. This is what he’s about,” said Councilmember Françoise Bergan.
