Pueblo Arrest Records Laws

Colorado is an open records state. The CCJRA (C.R.S. 24-72-301 through 24-72-309) requires that arrest records showing official action be open for public inspection. Official action includes the arrest itself, charges filed, pleas entered, and sentences handed down. Pueblo County has no choice but to release these records.

Under the Colorado Open Records Act, other public records from Pueblo agencies must also be open for viewing. Response time is three working days, with a possible extension of seven more. The first hour of staff time is free. Standard copies are $0.25 per page.

Sealed records are exempt. The CBI automatically seals arrest records when no charges are filed within a year of the arrest, starting with arrests on January 1, 2022, and later. Juvenile records for people 17 and under are also off limits under C.R.S. 19-1-301.
