Since the election, many questions have been raised about Aurora Police Department’s current non-enforcement policy on immigration. Specifically, people are asking if we intend to change our policy.
The simple answer is: No
APD's policy on immigration will remain as follows:
Officers will not enforce, investigate, or detain individuals based on their immigration status.
Our policy is not based on politics or personal philosophy. It is based on public safety. It is our goal to ensure that all individuals within Aurora feel safe in reporting emergencies and working closely with the APD to ensure our city remains a safe place for all.
The city’s responsibility is to provide services to all residents, enforce local laws and build strong community partnerships.
