Parker Records Under Colorado Law
Colorado has two main laws that affect access to Parker arrest records. The CCJRA covers records held by criminal justice agencies like the Douglas County Sheriff. Records of official action must be open to the public. That includes arrests, charges, case outcomes, and sentencing. You do not need to state why you want the records. The law is clear on this point.
The Colorado Open Records Act covers a wider range of government documents. If something is not a criminal justice record but is still a government document, CORA may give you access. Both laws lean toward openness. Agencies can withhold records only in specific situations, like when a case is under active investigation or a court has ordered the records sealed. For most Parker arrest records and mugshots, access is straightforward. A statewide criminal history check through the CBI records check portal costs $6 and covers arrests from Parker and every other city in the state.
Sealing Parker Arrest Records
People arrested in Parker can petition to seal their records under C.R.S. 24-72-703. You file with the 18th Judicial District Court. The cost is $224 for the filing fee. The court may waive it based on income. If your Parker case was dismissed or you were found not guilty, you likely qualify. Once sealed, the record drops out of public view. The Douglas County jail roster will not show it. CBI background checks will skip over it. Only law enforcement and prosecutors retain access to sealed Parker records.
Automatic sealing may apply to some Parker arrests. If charges were never filed after an arrest, CBI can seal the record after one year. This covers arrests from January 1, 2022 onward. Drug convictions have their own path under C.R.S. 24-72-704, with waiting periods that vary by charge type. If you have a Parker mugshot or arrest record you want sealed, consult a lawyer to see if your situation fits the rules. The process takes time but can make a real difference in what shows up when someone searches your name.
