I wasn’t going to go quietly into the night, I wasn’t going to accept a resignation and just walk away. But I know what this is driven by. This is a political agenda. There should not be partisan politics in public safety.”
Recently fired Aurora police Chief Vanessa Wilson defended her two-year tenure leading the department Monday, saying Aurora — and the country — needs more police chiefs who are not afraid to push for reform even in the face of resistance from police unions.City Manager Jim Twombly fired her Wednesday
“I have to stand up for myself,” she said. ““I’m exploring all options,” she said. Wilson’s firing comes amid rising violence in the city and increased criticism of Wilson from some members of the Aurora City Council, who blamed the chief for tanking officer morale and said it was time for new leadership. Other council members, along with community members, said Wilson should not have been fired and that there was a concerted effort to force her out.
“I’m not talking about a mistake with directives, I’m not talking about failing to fill out a piece of paper,” she said. “I’m talking about abusing individuals, I’m talking about lying in police reports, I’m talking about criminal behavior. It cannot and should not be in that building.”
