I got to spend some time earlier this week at the Aurora Police Department as recruits were training in the firing range. Crime is down in Aurora, which is obviously a good thing, but the Beacon wanted to illustrate officers working. Instead of getting the usual shot taken during roll call, it was nice that they invited us to check out training and that I got to shoot this assignment.
There is a lot of negative press going around right now about police departments and officers. Rightfully so in some cases, but it doesn’t paint the whole picture. The APD has a great relationship with the media when we cross paths in the field and they invite us into their home to see what goes on behind the scenes.
