Police Records Release Requests

Welcome to the Colorado Springs Police Department Records Request Unit where you will find information on the various criminal justice records that are available for release under the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act. The basic cost to obtain a record is $7.50. Please note that this amount can increase based on the size of the records requested and the amount of time necessary to process the request. If you need detailed information on costs, please see our Schedule of Fees.

All criminal justice records are released in accordance with the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act (CCJRA). As such, not all records may be available for release or may have information redacted (blacked out) prior to release. Electronic records are normally released in PDF format.
