Aurora’s next police chief stood at a podium in a darkened room before a line of TV news cameras Thursday and pledged to rebuild trust between community members and the police force. “Give me a chance,” Todd Chamberlain said. “Let’s partner, let’s collaborate. Let’s work together. I’m here for the long haul.” The 61-year-old Los Angeles Police Department veteran made the appeal after he was selected to be the city’s sixth police chief in five years through a hiring process that happened entirely behind closed doors and with no public input — a departure from past chief selections and an approach both he and City Manager Jason Batchelor defended during a news conference Thursday at the Aurora Municipal Center. “I think the question has to be, well, has the selection process worked in the past?” Chamberlain said.
