The Aurora Police Department’s top crime analyst, Frank Fredericks, 60, was charged this week with nine counts of official misconduct.
In a phone call Wednesday evening, Fredericks admitted he used department computers for non-law enforcement purposes.
“I ran a query on my husband to obtain a VIN on a vehicle that is in his name. Is it wrong, yes,” said Fredericks. “I shouldn’t have done it.”
Court records show the nine charges were filed Monday and stem from incidents between March 22, 2023, and April 29, 2024. Fredericks resigned from the Aurora Police Department June 17, 2024, after about 18 months on the job. He said he resigned due to a difference of opinion with APD command staff over an internal reorganization.
