Comment on Aurora won’t deploy officers to Denver during protests until Denver agrees to protect them from all liability

Aurora won’t deploy officers to Denver during protests until Denver agrees to protect them from all liability

An agreement between Denver and Aurora that allowed the two cities to deploy their police officers to help each other during protests has been suspended after an Aurora City Council vote on Monday night. Aurora won’t be sending its officers to Denver, as it did during the 2020 racial justice protests after the killing of George Floyd, until Denver agrees to fully indemnify — or take on full legal responsibility — for Aurora officers’ actions during such events. The Aurora City Council voted in favor of the resolution, 5-4, with Councilmembers Ruben Medina, Alison Coombs, Juan Marcano and Curtis Gardner voting against it. While several of the members who opposed it said they believed Denver should indemnify Aurora’s officers after such events, a new Denver mayor was sworn in just hours before the meeting.
