AURORA | An oft-disciplined Aurora cop’s relationship with his fellow officers was so toxic other police officers didn’t want to go on calls for him or work with him, former police Chief Dan Oates testified Monday.
Oates said Officer Chris Falco also made homophobic comments in front of other officers, including to one who was gay. Oates didn’t say exactly what the comments were, but said they were “disgusting” and could have damaged the department had they gone unpunished.
“Had he said this in a public setting I probably would have fired him,” Oates said.
Falco has been embroiled in several disciplinary cases over the years and is now asking the Aurora Civil Service Commission to overturn or amend a 320-hour suspension Oates handed him for shooting at a moving vehicle in 2011. In that case, Falco and another officer were cleared of criminal wrongdoing for shooting at a truck with three auto-parts thieves inside, but because the shooting violated a departmental rule about firing guns at moving cars, Oates suspended Falco.
One person was killed and another man paralyzed in the shootings.
Previously, Oates fired Falco for a variety of infractions — including calling the wounded auto-part thief a “marshmallow head,” babysitting his grandson while on duty, and cursing at a teenager during a traffic stop — but the Civil Service Commission overturned Falco’s firing.
The city appealed that ruling to Arapahoe County District Court, but a judge sided with Falco.
Falco’s latest appeal started last week and is expected to wrap up Tuesday. The commission typically takes one to two weeks to hand down its decision.
In testimony Monday, Oates said one of Falco’s supervisors said he had warned the officer to clean up his act and work better with his fellow officers, but instead Falco was “regressing.”
It sounds like Falco was the “marshmallow head”. I am happy to hear that this cop was fired. In my experience he in no way represents the majority of Aurora police officers.
Start working at home with Google! It’s by-far the best job I’ve had. Last Thursday I got a brand new BMW since getting a check for $6474 this – 4 weeks past. I began this 8-months ago and immediately was bringing home at least $77 per hour. I work through this link, go? to tech tab for work detail

Jennifer, if you look in a dictionary under marshmallowthere is no terminology about an injured person who is paralyzedits it speaks of ingredients of a marshmallow and how do you really know that this comment was ever made and do you have proof other than what you read on aurora sentinel? By the way, officer falco is back on the streets and has been for quite some time maybe even years it is Oates that is gone not officer falco. Ex – chief oates just left a mess behind for all people involved to bash one another with aurora sentinel who is just a news paper with very vicious
editors.
Hmmm, well, I said “it sounds like” because all I know in this case is what this story tells me. You could have respectfully offered the facts, which I would be completely open to. However you took a nasty tone with me which makes me not want to engage you further and does nothing for your credibility. And I never said marshmallow head was in the dictionary, I got the term from the Falco quote in the article, hence the “quotes”. Your point about the Aurora Sentinel getting everything wrong however does earn back your credibility points, as I think at this point I put more faith in The Onion. The main point I was trying to make is that the average police officer that I have run in to has been respectful and skilled. Officers are individuals. Most of them are dedicated to their jobs and the community. They cleared the house across the street full of junkies very well, and they handled the dog that lived there well, too. There was the one cop that was always at the 7-11 which is actually in Centennial ALL the time flirting with the clerk and would follow me if I had a t-shirt on that had a pit bull on it. Which I found amusing. Because it’s a t-shirt, and I am not a criminal, and he was using city time to flirt with a 7-11 clerk….. But that was years ago, I haven’t seen him there in years. I don’t know Oates, I don’t know the inner politics of the police dept., although if it’s like other dept. admin,, good lord help us all. Aurora’s policy of requiring the city manager or dept. manager approval for a city employee to even so much as say hello to a council member not only makes it ripe for corruption, but also makes it impossible to make good policy based on the experiences of the people that carry out the work and interact with the public. Arg don’t get me started on that.
Wow! You make no sense are you on drugs or colfax.
This does not make a statement other then a bulldog shirt following me cop from Centennial? Huh ?
Are you lost? We are talking about APD, and Centennial.
Glad, you were wearing something. Dum dum
Wrong…..
There is pervasive corruption in the Aurora city management and the Aurora police department. Brandon Johanson and the Aurora Sentinel in general have failed in their duty to inform the citizens of Aurora about that corruption. This story written by Johanson uses the testimony of the long ago discredited Dan Oates as if that testimony were fact. Other testimony in the hearing shows that Oates and other police command created a web of lies to fire Officer Falco, only to have the civil service commission see through those lies and reinstate him. Oates and others doubled down on their lies, as well as made up more lies to suspend Falco. Had Johanson paid attention to the rest of the hearing, and not had such a crush on Oates, he would never have written this story. Citizen of Aurora, we deserve better reporting than this. The Sentinel needs to hire reporters that are not so easily fooled, and that actually do their job.
I do not know any details on Falco, but I do know that Dan the oath breaker Oates has no credibility.
Not to you, but thankfully, you only speak for yourself and not the rest of Aurora.
And you do speak for the rest of Aurora? How pious of you. Many folks besides myself hold Dan Oates in very little regard. Just read the comments of past articles about the man.
I never claimed to speak for the rest of Aurora. And you still don’t speak for them either. “Many,” is still not all. Considering the population was just over 325k at the last official census (2010), your “many” is not statistically probable to be a mathematically significant number either.
Do have a nice day.
Gag me. …..
the man, who would edit this?
Is this Dan Oates???
Prob
Insomnia4ever…… it appears your one great fan of Oates and you are delusional and you ask around that Oates is a vicious sneaky man and has his little police spies doing his dirty work to cause set ups to engage in vindictive cases to ruin good officers careers.
I would be a shame to let readers read your love for a man who is a political ass and has no means to run a police department. You sad, Ex Chief Dan Oates is gone? The police department is not and the Mayor, City Manager, and the Community. Looks like you and maybe Richardson are the only two that are lost souls to a monster!
“You sad”? You illiterate…
Where are you fukn Ass Hole ??
“You” sad, too.
Falco is still a police officer.
Oates is gone, do your calculations now, Ass!
How pathetic, people (?) like you who have to up-vote their own comments. And you call me an ass… I believe you were looking into a mirror when you made that comment.
This is me……
I don’t think that I look like your asss.
Ah, you’re a resident of a delusional world in momma’s basement, eh? But thanks for the pic. I needed a good purge.
Ooohh… is that supposed to upset me? HA! I’d say nice try, but your defense of a dirty cop isn’t mitigated by your argument of “I know you are but what am I?” You need to grow up. Falco isn’t a good cop. There is plenty of actual evidence of that. Where’s your proof against Oates? Charges against him, perhaps? Oh, that’s right. You don’t have any proof. Just your opinion based on your love of a dirty cop. Yeah, you’re super credible.
And, your a DAMFFPP…..
I, think that I know who this is with a big thanks from Ashley.
20 years marriage, that’s a lot of love, baby!!!
TSTL. It’s nice to know you’ve named the palm of your hand. Which is it, left or right?
Your a fukn punk !!!!
Grow up……
Your a grown man wearing Lil girls panties.
Your listed as “Private”…..
You scared to be followed you Lil pus!
Only pathetic people upvote their own posts. Hahaha.
Well said.
Hello Haters…..
Pull the transcripts of the final hearing regarding my husband and you will read what I witnessed in court under Oath; The 17 yoa girl and her mother testified under oathe that none of the Officers were disrespectful even Falco, so Someone lied and Falco knows who it was another officer.
The comment about the Marshmallow was stated in roll when another officer told Falco, that the guys who wanted to kill him and his partner was getting paid out before the officers were cleared which is not common prodocol, but again some moron ran to Oates like a little Snitch over hearing that comment.
I have attended the Roll Call rooms, and I have heard way more ludicrous words or comments from police officers so grow a pair… this is not a shocker you cops, really.
Remember that are always two sides to a story or just pull the transcripts and read the notorious lies from corrupted police commanders or even from the police chief, who was caught in many lies. Oh, the grandson is true, how many cops have brought their children to their jobs? Falco was working at the AMC, doing police security while his case was pending. The grandson and I, left 45 minutes later, but one little Snitch just saw Falco with grandson while I went to grab us dinner at a fast food restaurant to bring back. Oh, you didn’t hear that flowing around, of course not Oates didn’t want it out!
Oates is gone, people and Falco is still with APD. He is a Licensed General Contractor and a hard working man, unlike little snitches that have no other talents, but Snitches and kiss asses to those that ask for —- false trash! Yes, those snitches are cops, the ones that laugh & joke with you. Yep, those ones Cops, the ones that jump how high and we are getting wind of who they are and Oates is gone, not Falco.
—-People leave us alone!–
Peace Out

TL;DR – oh and learn to spell. You know that modern browsers have built-in spellcheck, right?
If you have proof of this “web of lies” you should post it. Otherwise, you sound like a shill for a bad cop. A civil service commission too has been known to make gross errors in favor of bad cops. I find that more plausible than a conspiracy in the department to go after one guy. What’s their motive for targeting Falco?
Nope, wrong! You should have been there to hear for yourself the testimony and compilation of evidence.
The transcripts of this case will be made public for all who are interested in the truth, to read.
Pay particular attention to the testimony of Dan Oates as Brian Reynolds (Officer Falco’s attorney) questions him. I only wish I had thought to video tape him to share with everyone.
Again, if you have these transcripts, or actual evidence (doesn’t include your opinion drawn from what your perception was, but real evidence), it is still just your opinion. Again, if you seem to have such an inside track on “what is really happening” why Falco? What’s the motive for this conspiracy against him?
The additional opinion you’ve offered here seems to further reinforce your axe to grind against anyone who would stand against this specific officer, so what’s your stake in this, hmm?
I don’t know this officer on a personal level. I decided to attend because the articles in the Sentinel and the Denver Post caught my attention.
As I am reading your questions to me, I was asking myself the same of you. What do you have in this, that you are discounting the evidence I heard presented at the hearing over the last several days?
Don’t be a typical lazy uninvolved citizen who refuses to get off their duff, and find out things for themselves. Get own transcripts.
Yes, get your own transcripts and insomnia forever – until then stay lost.
Go to bed….Ashley don’t waste your time on this dum dum.
I was there to and I wish I could have met you.
I was there to and Ashley has knowledge of all the facts, sorry no web of lies your so lost that I’d be wasting precious time explaining it to you. By the way, your name above fits your comment, go back to bed because your lost with this whole ordeal.
Because Falco does not back down and the the strength and means to fight Oates back because Oates doesn’t like much people and Falco was one, not to mention he and a lot of cops don’t like Oates. Oates thought his continous harassment would make Falco force to leave, nope Falco is with APD and that spinless Oates is now gone.!
There is, and doesn’t take much to piss off Oates and a lot look up the guy that caused that accident at Basket Robbins killing 3, including a 4 year old. The detective on the case Detective Lee admitted to shredding documents regarding that case and Officer Falco and another Officer knew this admitting that Detective Lee was not being truthful at the hearing. All this did was piss off Oates in 2010, the shooting was in 2011.
YOU SO THE MATH ILLERATE INSOMNIA USE YOUR BRAIN FOR ONCE THERE IS MORE CORRUPTION WITHIN YOUR NOT THAT STUPID?

Ashley, the city does a great deal of advertising in the Sentinel. Do you really think the paper is going to bite the hand that feeds it? Look at the story under election of pit bulls, pot, and taxes going to voters in November and you will see 29 comments, 28 of which are about pit bulls. The city doesn’t want people talking about taxes, corruption, high price of water, or any number of other things. The Sentinel may as well be owned by the advertisers.
Nick, I don’t think that advertisers own the city. I just think they have the monopoly on those, and it does no good to write about them in the sentinel. Complain at the individual services, knowing they will pat you on the head, and console you. But we do it anyway. As for the pit bulls, any large, noisy animal in a city can and does disrupt the whole neighborhood. The two I wrote about being aggressive, getting 3 visits from dog warden with police on last call, resulted in those dogs being moved somewhere else. Now quiet on our street, and the stray cats also appreciate that. The dogs still here, do not bark in the night as much, so I would say action taken was well received. Will still vote against removing that ban, but would like to see ordinance bit tougher. We had real problem several years ago with stray dogs, and recently it seemed to be coming back again. As for Ashley’s remark, when she is so strong in denouncing police (certain ones) it would behoove her to name them, and justify it with written complaints to proper officials. Or let it go, if she does not have evidence.
I don’t know Ashley but they know a lot of this corrupt evidence at the hearing.
I was there and its all true the City and this whole case is in deep trouble for a huge law suit the City had diarrhea of the mouth and this time, that officer will get his justice.
I don’t know her either. But I did click on her name, and read many comments. She has to be in the police department, or very close to it. Therefore, I don’t really think she will get the results from posting here. If she has direct evidence, that needs to be in court. Just enflaming on Sentinel tells those of us with no power to change anything. I browse comments from across USA, and every police department is changing leadership, and is embroiled in lawsuits. At same time, we have people in every one of those cities who shoot police while sitting in cars, eating lunch, or just driving by them. And if we don’t change attitudes of those (young or old) our streets will soon look like those on the National News. We are close to race war, religious war, economy war in our streets. Reason FEMA, Federal Agencies, and Police are buying weapons, ammunition. And I am not paranoid about that. Police used to have possibly one SWAT team in whole section of city, now they are busting down doors on regular news channels. Yet we cannot close our borders, know who is in country, or even why they are here. Not intending to become citizens either, as some of my neighbors from south of the border. Have now moved to other areas. Thank God. But my property values decreased as all others in my part of Aurora. It is all part of the package. Police are doing their jobs, but much tougher these days. Sorry for length of reply, but we are paying for this. And changing chief won’t change much.
Oh, yes it will ….. he is fixing to leave and leaving his mess behind !
Long time later from my comment. Now that we know who chief will be, do you expect to see some visible means of knowing of changes? One big problem in balancing police force on racial, views, and attitudes is too many minority students drop out of school in grade, high school, college and never acquire the level of competence to write reports, or complete police or fireman academies or training. We have those who come back from military and go into those fields, and are very capable. We have those completing college and wanting to be police or firemen, who are capable. Then we have the citizen attitudes, shaped by media of being bullies or who exceed need for force, to patrol our streets, and enforce the laws. But with overall attacks of police, firemen, and military in peace time, just who will be hired or even want to be hired? And I read the comments across this country, and have seen this. So shifting the chief, does not change the political atmosphere and demands, under which that chief runs department. Not to mention, the resistance of those on that force for long periods. As one of my subordinates in military stated one morning with commanding officer came in from night of revelry, and jumped his case for talking too loud:
“Sir, I can work for you 8 hours a day, or against you for 24 hours a day”. Commander was smart enough to go into his office, close the door, and never mention It again.
–And I did not counsel my subordinate about that either. But the message was well learned by that commander. I don’t know the interior part of this issue, but I know of the shooting, and agree whole-heartedly with Officer Falco. Those thieves made the decision when they entered to steal what was not theirs, and I would have shot. And trying to run down the officers is not correct action on their part. This is long, but I support police, firemen, and being military retired 26 years service, I definitely support the military. None of us need to be shot at on USA streets because someone has an attitude or agenda.
Frank, your a good man and understand the logistics and thank you for your servicing this country.
LAW SUIT IS COMING TO MANY PEOPLE INVOLVED…….11-29-2014, MUST GO OVER ALL THE BS TRANSCRIPTS AND TONS OF DOCUMENTS.
GOOD CASE AND THE FALCO’S DESERVE IT. HELL, .THIS COULD PUT SOME ON THE POOR SIDE. LOL. LOL LOL
Wow,
Oates is gone and Falco is still on duty….mmmm.
Is Dave Perry with Aurora Sentinel. …. still around ??
Aurora Sentinel is being abused with the editor Davie Perry misusing it, by slandering Falco and his wife…..
Oh, the abuse and slander stopped? Oh, I get it, that’s because Oates is gone.
Poor Perry, you were manipulated by a guy, who used you and now, he is using another editor somewhere. ..
I truly, don’t feel your loss Oates sabotaged many people including Gulianni… read Oates in Ann Harbor under Rudolph, he says Oates will smile to your face while he is stabbing you in the back.. this is a true statement from a huge ex-mayor, who I can’t help but to believe Gulianni way over you, Perry !!!!!
I attended the Civil Service Commission hearings. The following is what I took away from the process:
There have been several important pieces of information that have come to light during the hearing for Officer Falco. First is that there was a complete investigation done by the Major Crime Unit of the Aurora Police Department, the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office, and the Arapahoe County District Attorney’s Office. The outcome of the investigation was that Officer Falco and another officer that used deadly force were justified in using that force. Other information that came out during this hearing was that Dan Oates refused to accept that investigation, and paid $96,000.00 to have a private firm conduct a second investigation using only information chosen by Oates. That secondary investigation had a different outcome, and Oates decided to use the results of that second investigation to suspend Officer Falco. Now it is known that the outcome of that second investigation was complete garbage and not usable since it ignored many of the most important facts of the case.
Dan Oates testified that he and the City Attorney conspired to refuse orders from both the Aurora Civil Service Commission and the District Court Judge that ordered Oates to return Officer Falco to the job for which he was hired. Oates also testified that he was not aware that the City Attorney used his position to influence the Civil Service Commission during deliberations (a crime) on the first Falco hearing. What will likely be brought out soon is that influence was used in other Aurora Civil Service hearings and that many city officials were aware of the violations but did nothing to control the corruption.
Maybe most of the people should have been there when Danny boy stated under oath, “I find the civil service commission’s power and the District Court decision to be ABSURD.” Wonder how the contempt citation from Judge Hannon will feel!! Goes to show you that Danny boy believes he is more powerful than any district court ruling. Too bad I am not Falco I would already be spending the hundreds of thousands the City of Aurora is going to have to pay him!!!!!!
Dan Oates was so eager to villianize this single officer, his testimony was ridiculous in light of the testimony other’s had given prior to his arrival on the stand. HA
The citizens of Aurora should demand their $96,000.00 back from the private firm he hired on our dime. They got a key ballistics factor WRONG.
He claims he is above GOD or so he thinks.
There were multiple fumbles of the ball between Oates and his crew.
Retired Division Chief Roger Cloyd said a part of the reason for the policy of officer’s not shooting into a moving vehicle is because innocent bystanders might get hurt.
Chief Oates said today that the officers should/could have used a different tactical plan. He suggested they let the thiefs leave the parking lot and allow more officers to surround them at a traffic light.
Wait a minute here. This whole event happened in a “no mans land” of a salvage yard parking lot, late at night, away from the citizenry. So, the chief thinks it would have been better to allow the action out of that lot, onto the street, where you and I could potentially get smashed/maimed/killed in the process?
Sounds like a great tactical alternative plan to me Dan!
Either show up for these hearings or request the transcripts and READ.
You can’t make this stuff up!
Glad to see someone has some common sense and can get past the blatant bias of the Sentinel reporter — Aurora is better off without Oates and with Officer Falco …
Oates was the problem who just had hatred of a cop he did not know but won every false case on Oates, now in Miami Beach just shook hands with their new chief. .
Let me rephrase that for you, the city of aurora is way better off without DAN OATES.
SHOW FALCO THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes, make all of them pay and I mean all of them!
TRAGIC situations dont always happen to innocent citizens but can happen to officers and their families. We are all criticized and no one ever credits anyone for doing a great job.
We read the the bad or what someone desires to believe what’s true or hearsay. My point is none of you are perfect in your career’s and falsely accused any of us will fight back and that is the story of an officer fighting back with poltiics and a lousy fine department ran by nothing but rats. And, being around AMC I pray the new chief takes care of his fellow officers with pride and dignity unlike Oates, who stepped on anyone or recently at this hearing threw his retired command staff under the bus and Oates under oath violated a “court directive ” stating its ABSURD and i do want I want speakinf of the city council and its judge, this was damaging to his possible career even In Miami Beach.
I was front row when Oates was on the stand getting very upset with falco’s attorney. Falco go after alk of them and Federal Court you will win and enjoy your after 3 years of corruption. APD is not a good police agency. Lets pray the new one gives his officers much support with no scandles. I pray for these officers including Officer Falco, who has more friends and supporters then you think.
Win or Lose hearing, I will enforce that suing is a great option that APD their ex-CHIEF Oates, Richardson, Daluz, Faye, Cloyd, and a few more.
The pain, suffering, slander, bashed, all proven at that hearing and under OATH they lied…. called Perjury folks you should have attended and seen even OATES lie under oath, it was shocking but no surprise.
For all of you that think you really know what’s going on here. You’re a 100% wrong! if you want any education regarding officer falco I would recommend that you read Ashlley’s comments whom has hands in the pot, that many of you have no clue what is inside this pot keep EDITING your trash, thoughts of someone you don’t know the real problem was the city of aurora ex chief Oates, the rest is hearsay from the aurora sentinel on all officer falco who has never been on the news who has never been on television who has never been in any other article other than aurora sentinel. Do you see my point here? The only ones that expose themselves any hot topics are of that of ex CHIEF oates and the aurora sentinel editors against this one current officer named falco. People this is called politics and saving your ass when they use an officer for these hot topics… you see this is something that Oates was good at and because he really couldn’t speak out about the many officers that he disliked officer falco was his best tool to corrupt Aurora Sentinel newspaper editors and all of us thinking what did officer falco really do? Do you really know if his remarks regarding a marshmallow, gay comments were really in fact said? Do you really know if these comments were made, I know. this is just one of those nasty moves to bash anyone he could to save his own and by using the aurora sentinel editors to publish this! If aurora set no had not published anything about officer falco, no 1 would have a clue or comment about anything right! So here is my final statement to you, and that I pray officer has the opportunity to sue and that this includes the aurora sentinel editors, Brandon, Dave perry because without Oates really doing it he made aurora sentinel ………
do all of his dirty work to the one officer named falco when there has been many other Aurora Police Dept officer shootings killing people and at moving vehicles? Meanwhile ex- chief oates is now gone with others such as Richardson, Cloyd, Jack Daluz and much more that had been on the Department are all gone, as well.
PEOPLE there is a true fact reason for this and don’t be miss lead by aurora senitnel editors date you will have to explain they’re vicious attacks on this one officer. all I can say to this one officer named falco is that I wish him the best of luck for the long term harassment that he has received from cheesy Oates, and the aurora sentinel editors Brandon, dave perry that I wish all the accusations of what city taxpayers money was paid out it was not this officer it was the city, all of those named above that are retired or gone used this money for other nonsense reasons blaming it on this officer of a shooting that was justified he was the only one that they used or set up why the city had used over a million dollars. People if you don’t get the picture that has been drawn out over the years with slander of this officer Falco, hopefully you will see it soon or in the near future when it is televised by the real news media.
This will be a huge pay out for this officer so do the math, the chief and his circle of love command officers are gone and so now the city is going two have to do with this huge mess, so they don’t have to be put in the public eye of the aurora citizens of what they did or why they did with access to the Aurora city taxpayers money, not the officer but the city only have the access to use the taxpayers money. So, with in mind you’re going to have 1 officer named Falco, who may just be able to walk away with millions and you can thank your ex chief Daniel Oates and his upper chain command that are now all gone, so let me draw you a picture here since 2011, officer falco and his family will deserve every penny. And by the way, Oates I have no concern or care of the trial of the theatre shooting? Are you kidding me, this officer was one of his own, you figure out the rest. Good luck to OFFICER FALCO and his family
And I, guess use props to this Ashlley who knows the truth and the facts from all of you, even people I don’t even know why they’re committing nor do they even know this officer to set forth any negative comments. But I will say this, that Ashley be could be somebody from the inside who has the most respectful knowledge and the true facts that are written, the rest of you are lost citizens who believed in a police chief that last nothing but a trail of wrongs. Ashlley whoever you are you are smart and you know what is going on, and I wish the people of the City of Aurora know that you were nothing but the truth with all the facts and that you believe in officer falco just as most people with common senseI know they must have to thank you 4 the years of your knowledgeto be truthful with the corruption whats in the city of Aurora, and have been trying to open the eyes of the City of Aurora that are so blind. Great work Ashlley!
Oh, pinch BRANDON or PERRY tell them that this is not a dream, and they will know when their nightmare begins after the judge reads their hatred like ex-chief Oates, who knows?
I also heard that Miami Beach is going to issue a claim on OATES called ” Vote of no confidencec”
which would not suprise me or Ashley.
It means they don’t want him as their new chief and this can be done sometime before this year?
Wow! The ex-chief must be really pist to have said some very unprofessional words edited on AURORA SENTINEL. And, Aurora Sentinel jump on that pretty quick. There dum, dum, and h
then dummer. I am soooo ashamed of OATES AND BRANDON JOHANSSON WITH DAVE PERRY.
Oates is a oath breaker and much purgery was shown at this hearing from current and ex- upper command staff and your negligence improper conduct to this officer will be proven.
This whole thing is sabotage to a fine officer while in the meantime. Oates and his retired staff used one million in tax payers money and had access to it by using this officer and a shooting that was justified to hid the money. But what you don’t know is that all of them are gone. Oates was the last to leave taking on a new chief job in Miami Beach, but I hear that he has already pissed them off and that does not surprise me. And, this stupid newspaper called aurora sentinel is trying to do anything for the ex chief to cover his very inappropriate actions and I am not so sure that In the end none if this looks good for Oates and Auror Sentinel. if you read a person named Ashley comments, my guess is this person sure in the hell knows what they are talking about and is sure you what Ashley is saying is in fact, the pure truth!
True.
This problem is due to our President and his cabinet appointed Directors not living up to their oaths of office to enforce the laws of the country. Borders were supposed to be closed to illegal aliens by law signed by President Reagan in 1986, when Sen. Teddy Kennedy assured all of us that with amnesty to 3 million illegal aliens in country, the problem would never occur again. Since then administrations have tightened border crossings, then others loosened them. This administration gives lip service, but those young men stealing parts from cars, should not have been in country , or should have been in jail-prison. That night, in dark, they made choice to steal parts, and then tried to run over officers to escape. Led to shooting, death, and injury. And this sore has rankled with all the bleeding hearts on juries, with our tangled enforcement/ non-enforcement of laws. Chief Oates is caught in controlling police department, but with others changing his control, or rescinding it.
During my 26 years in military, I saw this occur and when management cannot follow policies or standards, people get replaced. But this cancer started with President, and seeps all the way down to our city. We civilians – constituents have opinions, but have to live with flux. Not necessarily corruption, but impossible for all concerned. I see Officer Falco doing his job, but not having the backing he needs, and I see unions, oversight people, bleeding heart jurists, judges all contaminating “rule of law”, and we WIND UP WITH RULE OF PEOPLE. That leads to anarchy and confusion. Also I had experience of having a policeman tell me after out of control neighbor threatened to kill me, “You have to learn to live with these people”. He had kept our part of Aurora upset for 4 years – arrested 15 times and 3 times by his own mother’s complaint. For those years, only time it was entirely quiet on our block, was while he was in jail. Finally moved.
On some level Frank, I couldn’t agree with you more. Although, I do not know if these particular male theifs were here illegal or otherwise.
Today, I was wondering what would have happened if this same situation had gone down in Russia with their police and young American males?
Would a Russian chief have felt the same compassion for our American males when committing a criminal act over there?
Check back into the Sentinel before days end, as I intend to write a response at length to the Dave Perry opinion piece.
“TOXIC EX-CHIEF DAN OATES”.. IS NO LONGER AURORA POLICE DEPARTMENT AND OFFICER FALCO A 20 YEAR POLICE VETERAN WILL RETIRE FROM AURORA POLICE DEPARTMENT WHEN HE IS READY, OATES TRIES TO GET RID OF OFFICERS HE DOES NOT LIKE BUT LOST AT HIS OWN GAMES. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT STAFF CAN BREATH AND DO THEIR JOB INSTEAD OF FEARING A POLITICAL NARCISSISTIC MAN. OATES IS DANGEROUS TO ANY POLICE AGENCY, ALSO STATED BY RUDOLPH GUILANI FROM ANN HARBOR WHEN OATES WAS DIVISION CHIEF WHILE RUDOLPH WAS MAYOR THEN AND HAD MADE THIS COMMENT ABOUT DAN OATES, NEED I TELL YOU MORE. WE FOUGHT HIS OWN GAMES AND HE LEFT APPLYING ANYWHERE BECAUSE THE HEAT WAS ON HIM FOR FALSE SCANDALIZED ACTIONS TO HIS POLICE STAFF. THE FAMILIES OF THE AURORA THEATER SHOOTING ARE PLEASED, AS I SPOKE TO SOME AND THE COMMUNITY IS AT REST OATES COULD NOT BE TRUSTED.
NOW, OATES IS GONE AND NO LONGER AN AURORA POLICE CHIEF, HE GOT OUT OF DODGE AND FALCO HAD THE MEANS TO FIGHT BACK A VINDICTIVE TOXIC POLITICAL MONSTER. HE SHOULD RUN FOR SENATE SOMEWHERE BECAUSE HE IS DANGEROUS TO AND POLICE AGENCY AND I BELIEVE EX MAYOR RUDOLPH GUILANI STATED THE SAME WORDS, FIRST.
Oates is dangerous to any police agency!
Sweet, Dan Oates is no longer the police chief of Aurora Police Department, the fire was heating his bum bums
NICE! EX CHIEF DAN OATES IS GONE AND HE HAD TO RUN, DUE TO ALL THE MESS HE CAUSED AND LEFT BEHIND.
HE TRIED TO RUIN GOOD COPS CAREERS WHILE PROTECTING THE BAD ONES AND THIS IS A FACT.
Chief Oates failed to mention that Falco was awarded the second highest award for bravery and given a metal a few months ago. He also failed to mention that he was planning to mail it to him but was ordered to allow Officer Falco to attend the ceremony…..

Great job !
Okay Metz, let’s see what you got because the Aurora Police Department has been through some serious shittt with Ass politician Oates.
METZ, SUPPORT YOUR MEN AND WOMEN THAT’S ALL THEY WANT ….. A REAL CHIEF THAT WAS A COP.
Hello Haters…..
Pull the transcripts of the final hearing regarding my husband and you will read what I witnessed in court under Oath; The 17 yoa girl and her mother testified under oathe that none of the Officers were disrespectful even Falco, so Someone lied and Falco knows who it was another officer.
The comment about the Marshmallow was stated in roll when another officer told Falco, that the guys who wanted to kill him and his partner was getting paid out before the officers were cleared which is not common prodocol, but again some moron ran to Oates like a little Snitch over hearing that comment.
I have attended the Roll Call rooms, and I have heard way more ludicrous words or comments from police officers so grow a pair… this is not a shocker you cops, really.
Remember that are always two sides to a story or just pull the transcripts and read the notorious lies from corrupted police commanders or even from the police chief, who was caught in many lies. Oh, the grandson is true, how many cops have brought their children to their jobs? Falco was working at the AMC, doing police security while his case was pending. The grandson and I, left 45 minutes later, but one little Snitch just saw Falco with grandson while I went to grab us dinner at a fast food restaurant to bring back. Oh, you didn’t hear that flowing around, of course not Oates didn’t want it out!
Oates is gone, people and Falco is still with APD. He is a Licensed General Contractor and a hard working man, unlike little snitches that have no other talents, but Snitches and kiss asses to those that ask for —- false trash! Yes, those snitches are cops, the ones that laugh & joke with you. Yep, those ones, and we know who you are your Oates isn’t around anymore to save you!

Peace Out

Oates isn’t any better. ……people!
Oates just hates people who stand up to him.
QUIDNUNC: Former Chief Dan is revealing his Oates in FloridaOates has surprisingly not impressed his new QuidBadge5.16.12community after he blew through five tires, two rims and the exhaust system of his taxpayer-provided Ford Explorer city-taxpayer-funded perk-mobileBy Quidnunc, Staff gossip, Updated: January 30, 2015
Oates doesn’t sound any better……
QUID HAS HEARD that you can take the chief out of Aurora, but you can’t take the Aurora antics out of Dan Oates.
Seems that this city’s former top cop, who has a special place in his heart for this fine rag, has that same heartburn for new rags covering his new job inMiami Beach, Florida. According to some snarky hack at randompixels.blogspot.com, Oates has surprisingly not impressed his newcommunity after he blew through five tires, two rims and the exhaust system of his taxpayer-provided Ford Explorer city-taxpayer-funded perk-mobile. Rather than ruining the car running down rascally robbers, Oates racked up the repair bills by being unable to park the car in the city’s parking garage, according to RandomPixel’s hack. To help Oates, “figure out the intricacies of the modern urban parking garage,” city staff placed an orange cone on a concrete divider that Oates has a fondness for driving over. But there’s more. There’s always more with Dan. Oates had to do an about face after shooting from the lip about a police department taser policy, telling cops they no longer have to be tazed to carry one. He didn’t check with anyone that mattered, however, finding out after the fact that Miami Beach, not to be confused with the real city of Miami, is being sued for over-tazing the public, and that Oates may jeopardize that lawsuit. Add in reports of a Danny-boy style meltdown over the phone to a spa that his daughter was at trying to use his credit card at, a mess over baseball caps he demanded everyone on the force wear, including people who don’t even work for the PD, but look like they might, and you’ve got the top-cop we all knew and loved to see move away from here, making life fun for those down there. You can see for yourself what the Florida hack said about Oates by clicking here.
