Dear Aurora PD Retirees:
Aurora PD PIO McCoy and Aurora TV Channel 8 Producer Alexis Kikoen are producing a short
history documentary about Aurora PD. Alexis wishes to interview five to ten retirees from
various units, e.g., K-9, MCU, Patrol, CSI, Dispatch, who have stories to tell.
The interviews will be conducted at the new Channel 8 Studio in the City Building or in your home,
if you wish, and there is enough room in the home for lighting, cameras, people, etc.
Alexis will ask questions about the changes you observed during your career - for better,
for worst; why you joined APD; most interesting tasks; most challenging calls, and most
rewarding experiences.
If you have APD memorabilia you are willing to share for the documentary, the items will add
visual interest to the documentary.
(This is an evolving project, and dates have been... fuzzy.
The project is still a "go" supposedly, but when things will get "going" is not yet
firmed up. If you are interested in participating, please contact Kathy.)

APROA Trustee

ATTENTION MEMBERS:
