I, as a military wife, have lived in many cities in the US and have to say that the City of Aurora…read morehas the best employees (excepting the police) of any. They are very responsive, very polite and willing to help. You can call any agency and get a person to talk to. This is very satisfying and very rare. Call the state or federal government and see the runaround you get. So thank you Aurora city employees. P.S. The police are supposed to be there to protect and serve, but I feel they are more there to harass and inconvenience.

New name, who dis?!…read more One of the many things that comes with getting married, is a trip to the Social Security Office to change your name. Yipee!! I opted to go on a weekday; this past Wednesday to be exact. I had prepared myself for a bit of a wait, cold temperatures (it was about 10 degrees in the shade when I arrived), and I also arrived about 30 minutes prior to opening. This seemed to be a fairly popular tactic as there were maybe 10 people ahead of me. Once the doors opened we all made our way to the second floor where we hopped in line outside the office. Anyone with appointments were called in first. After that they started working the line to see if others needed forms and we slowly made our way into the main room. We were all given a number and I was immediately directed to a window where I was assisted by a very efficient woman. She ran down a few verification questions and handed me a receipt reflecting my new name. So simple! From arrival (30 minutes early) to walking out the doors this whole process took a whole 50 minutes. Whoa! Was not expecting that at all!! While I can't say it was my favorite experience, I can definitely say I was expecting much worse! Aurora Social Security Office you are easily an "A-OK" in my book! **Pro Tip: Go online and fill out the forms you need in advance, print them up, and bring them with you. This will save you some time and make it a much smoother experience!

This department is horrible at responding to calls in a timely manner. I know firsthand that they will not do anything about a stolen car. Do yourself a favor; If you don't want your windows broken in your car, stay out of Aurora.

Update: did I mention how this city is a steaming pile of crap? it's no secret that the economy…read moresucks. The cost of everything is so high, families can barely afford to get by. What would you expect out of your city when times are hard? Well let me tell you what you get with Aurora, CO. You get wanna be cops going around giving citizens violation notices for things like having propane tanks on your camper (lawfully stored on the side on the house in a designated parking spot) or on your propane firepit, bare spots in your lawn after having a main line replaced and the grass hasn't grown back yet despite two rounds of seeding, fertilizing and watering (with water restrictions in place from the city). Then at the city parks you have overflowing trash cans, you have homeless camps with trash and drug use, you have a homeless camp just about every block. You have gun shots every night, you have burglaries, unresponsive cops (72 hour response times), you have a joke of a justice system, these criminals are back out on the streets the same day (if they even bother to apprehend someone). Don't even get me started on their public school system. Just look up the ratings, it's an embarrassment. This city has got to be one of the worst rated cities in the country at this point. If you are looking to move here, don't. Live in any city in the state except this god forsaken place. You will thank me later.

I've had several issues with this department in the past year. First of all, my truck was stolen…read morelast year and they did absolutely nothing. I ended up finding it behind a car wash on Iliff and Peoria at 2am, after ME doing the investigation for over a week. I called them telling them I found the truck. They told me to wait at the scene and an officer would be there shortly. There was a man parking in his truck right next to mine, my boyfriend walked up asking if he knew anything. My truck was sitting on logs, stripped. Those same logs were in the bed of this guys truck. He offered to buy the truck, we took his phone number for the police because we had suspicion. There were also cameras from the car wash pointing directly at my truck. The police took 8 hours to even show up. And when they did, we offered them the phone number and asked them to get the camera footage to find the people who stole the truck, you know. Descriptions of the suspects, license plates etc. They said no, because this happens so much it's not a priority and they "can't" do anything about it. If anything, it happening so much should MAKE it a priority. Second incident, a few weeks ago I was at horseshoe park when I watched a teenager chuck a baseball at his friend's head. Then yell "the second I'm getting a gun I'm going to a f**king school and killing everyone there. I called the police immediately. They took 2 hours to show up, and by the time they did the boys were gone. Now lastly, and probably the most important one, last Saturday night I was walking my dogs by central recreation center when a blacked out Tahoe pulled into the parking lot slowly creeping towards me. I called my boyfriend to pick me up. A few minutes later a man walking from the trail yells "HEY" at me and immediately starts sprinting towards me, I start running. I'm being chased by possibly human traffickers and luckily there was someone else at the trail who called out for me as he saw me running away and stayed with me while I waited for my boyfriend, which then the man chasing me got in the Tahoe and they sped off. I called the police to make a report, explaining they could get the footage from the outdoors cameras at the rec center to get a license plate, and hopefully be able to find the people before someone else goes missing. They told me someone would call me to make a police report. The incident happened at 9:30pm, I called around 9:45-10pm and they didn't even go to search the area or even give me a call back until 1:30am. And the officer who spoke with me on the phone told me "well what exactly do you want me to do about it?" When I told them about the camera footage, they told me they had no way of accessing the footage. I called the rec center to see if I can get it, and they had told me I'd have to file a police report and they would have to get the footage from them. So the police do have access to that footage. They're just lazy, sorry pos! I'm sorry but Aurora police department is absolutely useless. Oh but I bet once I start actually taking care of these situations myself and doing something that's actually beneficial, somehow they'll want to do something. I cannot express enough how lazy and useless these officers are.

When approaching the two dark skinned men, they found it funny that I insisted they look for a package that was on hold there. It is their app that revealed where my package was being held! When asked to look again, the shorter of the two took a smoke break and came back with nothing but a terribly hostile attitude. Excuse me for asking him to do his job! I didn't know that he is getting paid to sit there and laugh at customers! It took the wonderful German woman that was changing the box locks to help! She saw and heard everything and felt terrible for my kid! He was painfully disappointed. She went above and beyond to get his package. I couldn't help but tearfully hug her... a lot! She did not have to do anything, yet she was kind enough to do so! What shocked me the most was when the manager defended those two mean men. Never defend that behavior. I felt like she has had to do that way too many times! We have no choice other than to go there, and it angers me that so many of us are subjected to those two. It seems to be the culture there. Personally, I chose to allow the person behind me go if I am next to deal with either of them. I allow silence to speak louder than my voice ever could. I refuse to allow them to dictate my day there! Stand strong when going into their playground! You are not alone!
