Aurora City Council Study Session
The study session featured a presentation by the District Attorney for the 18th Judicial District regarding the Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT) process, which outlines procedures for investigating officer-involved shootings or incidents resulting in serious bodily injury or death within Arapahoe County (south of Kfax). The DA explained that the CIRT, composed of investigators from various local law enforcement agencies and the DA's office, ensures an independent investigation where the employing agency does not take the lead. The process involves immediate evidence collection, including body-worn and flock camera footage, and witness interviews, with the DA's office making the final decision on criminal charges. The DA also detailed when a case might be referred to a grand jury, noting that Colorado primarily uses a complaint and information system, and clarified that CIRT, not the employing agency, handles witness interviews after an incident begins.
