Castle Rock Records and Colorado Law
Two state laws control how you get arrest records in Castle Rock. The Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act covers records held by law enforcement. Under the CCJRA, records of official action are open. That means arrests, charges, and case outcomes are all public. The Douglas County Sheriff has to share these Castle Rock records when asked. You do not need to give a reason.
The Colorado Open Records Act, called CORA, is a broader law that covers all government records. If you want something that does not fall under the CCJRA, CORA may still give you access. The Colorado Attorney General's CORA page lays out the rules and timelines for making a request. Under CORA, agencies have three business days to respond. They can charge reasonable fees for staff time and copies. Both CORA and the CCJRA lean toward public access. Castle Rock records are generally available unless a court has sealed them or the case is still under active investigation.
A statewide criminal history check through the CBI records check portal costs $6.85 for a name-based search. This pulls arrest data from Castle Rock and every other city in Colorado. It is one of the fastest ways to check if someone has a criminal record anywhere in the state.
