Aurora Police Dept
In 2021, the Aurora and Marionville Police Department experienced low staffing levels and equipment concerns that led to lower than expected traffic enforcement data. In the late months of 2021, the department acquired new radar systems for the patrol vehicles. Previously, the department only had a few units equipped with radar systems which did not function well. Additionally, in late 2021, the AMPD became fully staffed, increasing the number of officers on the street. Proactive traffic enforcement is also a priority for the new administration. Therefore, traffic enforcement data would have seen an increase in late 2021 and the numbers are expected to be considerably higher in 2022 with changes made internally to the department.
