Aurora’s mayor is calling for his city to suspend a law enforcement mutual aid agreement with Denver
It means Aurora would not respond to Denver’s calls for help during major civil disturbances.
In May, Aurora sued Denver, asking a district court to declare that Denver is legally responsible for the Aurora officers who responded to DPD’s request for mutual aid. “Mayor Hancock and Mayor Coffman spoke recently, and while the Mayor respects Mayor Coffman’s position and is appreciative of the long-standing partnership between Denver and Aurora, there is a fundamental disagreement on this issue,” Hancock’s office said. “We believe Aurora is taking an overly broad interpretation of the indemnity provisions in the mutual aid statute.
Coffman wants Denver’s incoming mayor, Mike Johnston, who will be sworn into office on Monday, to agree in writing that Denver will always assume legal responsibility when Aurora officers respond to a mutual aid request.“We are aware that Aurora and Denver had a disagreement and decided that the best path to resolve this question was to ask the court for a decision on the appropriate terms of liability,” Johnston said.
He also said he had a good relationship with Hancock, and said the cities work closely together and agree on a number of other issues.
