ORS: Data Submission-Criminal Justice Contact with Students

ORS: Data Submission Home

The Office of Research and Statistics (ORS), pursuant to 24-33.5-503(1)(aa) & (2), collects data annually from law enforcement and district attorneys on criminal justice contacts with students. 

The requirements appeared in House Bill 2015-1273, which expanded on House Bill 2012-1345. Data is submitted to ORS every year by August 1 to include any criminal justice contacts with students that occurred between August 1 and July 31 of the immediately preceding school year. Data collection requirements for law enforcement can be found in 22-32-146, C.R.S., and for District Attorneys in 20-1-113, C.R.S.

Data Submission --- New Process ---

Incident reports are not submitted at this website and MUST NOT be transmitted by email due to privacy protections.

Starting with the 2023-2024 school year, the Office of Research and Statistics has adopted a new process to standardize this data collection and allow law enforcement agencies to securely transmit their data. 

If you have previously submitted school incidents, further information will be sent to your law enforcement email address on record.

If you have not previously submitted school incidents, please submit your contact information to cdps_dcj_ors_hb1273@state.co.us, including:

• Contact Name
• Agency Name
• Email
• Please include in the Subject: HB15-1273
• Please include this statement in your request: Request for access to submit school Incidents. 

 We will contact you via email with access information.

To facilitate and standardize this data collection, you must use the templates provided below to report your information to ORS or create a file using the specific format described in the "Instructions" links (below).
