Tcf Evidence Assessment · 2026-10-13

Workplace complaint publication

The identified workplace harassment procedure supplies three of the four fixed complaint-publication components. It does not state a result-notification target. This is neither an assessment of actual complaint handling nor a general citizen misconduct-complaint route. Scope: Workplace audience only; one bounded publication snapshot.

Budget and staffing publication

The reviewed set supplies FY2025 operating/capital detail and distinct personnel categories, but no readable FY2026 police appropriation or dated filled/authorized roster reconciling service scope. Scope: City budget/personnel publication set only.

Allegation · 2026-06-19

Bliss harassment and retaliation petition

The downloaded court-stamped petition in 26LW-CC00086 names Aurora, Marionville and Wes Coatney and alleges harassment and retaliation involving 2025 events. Filing establishes the allegations made; no merits ruling, admission or current disposition was verified. Scope: Pleading, not a supported misconduct finding.

Published police contact routes

The bounded set supplies tip-line/office information, emergency 911 routing and a written records route. It does not supply police-service assistance or an escalation/response timetable. Actual response quality was not tested. Scope: Published contact information only.

Allegation · 2026-06-25

Other Verified Context · 2026-01-21

Other Verified Context · 2025-10-18

Fatal pursuit and reported aid

KY3 reported a fatal pursuit crash and the police account of extraction and CPR. Fuller records were unavailable. Neither the death nor an agency account establishes compliance or misconduct. Scope: Incomplete pursuit/care evidence; no outcome points.

Scope and evidence gaps

TCF Available-Record Grade 1.0 is an editorial assessment of the cited assessable record, not a validated measure of overall department quality. Unknown checks earn neither credit nor penalty. Coverage measures rubric weight, not the fraction of officers or incidents reviewed. Fixed weights and component anchors are editorial choices, not validated measures of overall department quality. The evidence mix changes the effective category weights. All assessed checks in this run concern public information or procedures. Coverage measures rubric weight, not the share of incidents or officers reviewed. This bounded public-web review is not exhaustive. No records request or agency response request was sent. The existing Aurora report uses a different method; these scores cannot establish a change in agency performance. The workplace complaint policy does not establish citizen misconduct-complaint access or actual implementation. Prior joint Aurora-Marionville data cannot be assumed to describe Aurora-only staffing. Old method labels and old rounded scores were not carried into the new calculation. No complete operational event sample or full department audit was obtained. The only assessable units are three public information/procedure snapshots; conduct and training/supervision remain unassessed. This is not an exhaustive search or a claim of department-wide compliance.
