Guess the Aurora police like to harass the disabled rather then the city which has tremendous amounts of gang members, drug dealers and very violent criminals roaming around day and night and it has been that way for generations.
For those not fimiliar, Aurora is an crime-ridden city with massive gang problems that in 2017 reported more homicides than in Wyoming and North Dakota combined.
Maybe crime-ridden Aurora should allocate their resources better rather than harassing the disabled and making their lives more difficult.
Maybe the Aurora police should worry about the tremendous violent crime rate that the city is infested with that has been going on a very long time rather than targeting the disabled and serving them summons for ringing a wrong doorbell.
Aurora is an absolutely crime-ridden city that should have more law enforcement prorities then having police rushing over to give people with people late-stage dementia summons for ringing the wrong door bell by accident.
Maybe the Aurora police should worry about the cities very high homicide and violent crime rate. I have been in Aurora many times and the city has major crime issues that have been ignored for decades and decades. How many suburbs have 30 homicides a year like Aurora?
"Aurora Police Department spokeswoman Crystal McCoy told the Problem Solvers the officer who wrote the ticket is sympathetic to Nancy Daoust's diagnosis of dementia but said the officer had no choice.
"When a property owner wants a law enforced on their property, this is not an area that we have discretion in," McCoy said."
It sounds like the neighbor is the villain here, even the husband explicitly calls out the neighbor:
"The 63-year-old Comcast employee said his employer and most of his neighbors have shown nothing but compassion and understanding, with the exception of the one neighbor who called police."

Not sure why you're focused on the police.
Because police have a certain amount of discretion. The responding officer could have easily stated, "I didn't see the infraction being committed, therefore there's not much I can do about it."
So in other words, if you're in Aurora, CO and ring someone's doorbell and they don't like it, they can make the police write you a ticket. Guess the Jehovas Witnesses, Mormons, and ATT and Comcast folks can't operate in that city.
Unfortunately this man has no idea his wife needs full time supervision and this has not been a wakeup call for him. She is going to walk in front of a truck someday.
He should visit the caregiver forum. I think this issue has come up there, and it comes up a lot among caregivers of dementia patients.
I suspect those neighbors have seen a lot more than this and feel intimidated to confront the husband with the truth.

We seem to believe that handling mental health, illnesses or similar should be handled in this way. Part of it is because we do not train law enforcement to deal with people who fit outside of their boxes.
We teach them that if someone is not following orders the next step is violence. This is not a situation for the police to handle. HHR should be called.

The real issue.
I had exactly the same reaction when I saw this report on the local news.
Sadly, the husband seems unable or unwilling to accept the reality of his wife’s condition.
People want to make the neighbor the “bad guy” when in fact s/he may be the only one seeing the situation clearly.
Maybe now that this is receiving so much attention, the wife will get the care she needs.
Somebody just get her a solicitation permit, She'll then be free to go door to door selling crazy
