Purpose

The Independent Review Board (IRB) is designed to assist the Chief of Police in the deliberative process in determining an appropriate level of discipline for instances of sustained misconduct by subject matters. The IRB may also review events that draw significant community interest.

The IRB panel consists of four (4) civilian members, two (2) peers, one (1) lieutenant and one (1) Captain/Commander.

The IRB process, although significantly supported by the Aurora Police Department, is a function of the Human Resources Department under the control of the Director of Human Resources or his/her designee.
