AURORA — The commission responsible for hiring police officers in Aurora lowered its standards for part of new candidates’ psychological evaluations, according to emails obtained by Denver7 Investigates.
“Brower Psychological originally advised the commission that most agencies consider a 3C- to be unsuitable however the commission chose to keep it as a suitable rating,” the email stated. Civil Service Commission Chair Desmond McNeal was not serving on the commission when the email was sent in November 2020, but he disagrees with Jurinsky’s assessment, saying he thinks the process works while adding that there is room for improvement.
“There is nothing that prevents an agency from hiring candidates that have been given a rating of a D or F,” McElroy said. Denver7 Investigates also obtained a spreadsheet through an open records request that listed candidates' first and last names, ethnicities and JSA ratings. Out of hundreds of applicants, analysis found that the city hired 11 officers off that particular list with a 3C- JSA rating.The latest figures from Aurora Police show white officers account for 76% of the department. Nearly 12% identify as Hispanic and roughly 5% identify as Black.
In Aurora, Acevedo doesn’t meet new recruits until their first day at the academy, which he says creates difficulties for the department. He said he does not feel this current model is a good one.
