Aurora Police Not Going Far Enough

To serve and protect is the motto of many of the nations police departments, protect each other is what they do. A recent article on a local Denver news web page stated the Aurora Police Department knew of allegations against two former officers for one for sexual misconduct/assault and the other for processing kiddie pornography. I knew one of the officers personally from my time working as a paramedic in Aurora. I sensed something was different about him and not just he was from New York, as am I. He had an air about him that he was arrogant and he had a badge and a gun why mess with me attitude. I was not shocked when I heard this former DARE officer was arrested for his crimes, the question was he had done this before and the department did nothing about it. Chief Oates was not in command when officer Mangino started his sexual spree but the prosecutor allowing this officer to accept a plea is ridiculous! he was a person the community expected to act above and beyond after all he was supposed to protect minors. Mangino is a disgrace as is the APD cover up.... APD Internal Affairs.... You have not gone far enough!
