To request public records under the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) or Criminal Justice Records Act.
Per provisions of CORA and the CDPS Colorado Open Records Act Policy, the Division of Criminal Justice may charge for research and retrieval of public records. The first hour of time associated with research and retrieval of public records is provided at no cost. For more than one hour, a maximum hourly rate is $41.37 for research and retrieval of public records. A quote will be given and payment must be received prior to retrieval work.
The Division of Criminal Justice is not the custodian of the following records:
- medical records or reports
- driving /motor vehicle records
- background checks of individuals
- court proceedings/ cases / convictions from any county or district court
- reports filed with any law enforcement agency, this includes records and or footage of any kind
To move forward with a request, please submit a CORA request form.
In order to expedite service and minimize research/retrieval time and fees, it helps to be as specific in your request as possible. When possible, include information such as:
- The specific agency and unit you believe is the custodian of the record (we may be able to help determine this if you do not know)
- The specific document(s) you are looking for, or the type of document if you don't know the specific name
- The specific individuals or agencies referenced in the records (e.g. the name of a specific community corrections facility)
- The date of the record or the time frame for various records (e.g. board minutes from Jan. 15, 2021 or all board minutes from Jan. 1, 2015-Dec. 31, 2015)
