MATT MORROW HERE NOW WITH THIS PART OF THE STORY JEREMY AND ERICA. THIS CONSENT DECREE STARTED A FEW YEARS AGO AFTER A STATE INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT AURORA POLICE. >> HAD A PATTERN OF VIOLATING STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS BY USING EXCESSIVE FORCE AND THROUGH RACIALLY BIASED POLICING. THIS INCLUDES A NUMBER OF HIGH-PROFILE INSTANCE, INCLUDING THE DEATH OF ELIJAH MCCLAIN. >> SHORTLY AFTER THE DECREE TOOK EFFECT, AURORA HIRED AN INDEPENDENT CONSENT DECREE MONITOR AND SET UP 78 MANDATES FOR THE CITY'S PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT'S LATEST REPORT FROM APRIL SHOWS THAT AURORA HAS MET TWO-THIRDS OF THOSE MANDATES AND IS ON TRACK TO MEET MOST OF THE OTHERS. HOWEVER, THE REPORT SAYS THE WAR IS STILL STRUGGLING TO IMPLEMENT ANTI-BIAS TRAINING FOR POLICE, EVEN WITH THE DECREE AND WERE POLICE ARE STILL FACING CRITICISM FOR CONTROVERSIAL INCIDENTS INCLUDING OFFICER SHOOTING AND KILLING KYLEN LEWIS, AN UNARMED BLACK MAN WHEN THEY'RE TRYING TO ARREST HIM FOR AN ATTEMPTED HOMICIDE.

LISTEN. >> I BELIEVE IN AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT ASPECT. I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD NOT EVER SHY AWAY FROM.

I THINK THAT SHOULD BE APPLAUDED WHEN ISSUES HAPPEN OF COMMUNITY CONCERN. >> IT'S VALUABLE TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE WHO IS. LOOKING ON AND WHO IS SAYING, YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT THIS WAY OR HONESTLY, YOU MADE A MISTAKE HERE. >> AURORA CITY MANAGER SAYS THE PLAN IS TO HAVE AN INDEPENDENT POLICE MONITOR STARTING IN 2026.
