AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) - The coronavirus outbreak has put the city of Aurora's search for a new police chief on hold. The city stopped taking applications on March 20 and is now reviewing applications.

However, it is waiting to do any final interviews or hold public forums. Originally the city had hoped to do those interviews in April and May.
