Neighborhood Support

The Neighborhood Group Support Initiative helps residents organize in their neighborhoods, giving residents the opportunity to get more information and resources to neighborhoods, voice concerns, and build relationships with the Aurora Police Department. The Initiative began in 2015 at the direction of the Mayor and City Council to strengthen relationships between neighbors, City officials, and police.

It also reduces crime, builds stronger neighborhoods, and improves the quality of life for Aurora residents. When neighbors know each other and patrol officers and residents work together, neighborhoods become safe, friendly places to live.
