The Aurora Police Department is using technology to keep our community and our officers safe. APD gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how their new Real Time Information Center and the addition of drones is helping them fight and solve crimes. Also on the show  this week, we walk some "Miles with Mordecai" as the president of the Community College of Aurora takes extraordinary steps to support his students; we find out why tails are part of the tale some Aurora students have to tell; and it's all about the beat from feet, hands and mouths at the third annual Step Summit at Vista PEAK Prep.  Those stories and actual auroras in Aurora on this edition of Aurora Now.
