SEX OFFENDERS REGISTER:
Colorado Revised Statute 16-22-108(7) allows for fees to be charged for Registration of Sex Offenders. Fees are as follows:
- $50 per year for misdemeanors (no refunds)
- $65 per year for felony (no refunds)
Pursuant to 16-22-112, Colorado Revised Statutes, law enforcement agencies are authorized to release information about registered sex offenders living within the agency's jurisdiction to residents of the jurisdiction. Sex offender registry information is made available to citizens so they may better protect themselves and their children from these known sex offenders.
Citizens requesting the registry list must provide identification and proof of residence. Further dissemination of this registry list by citizens is discouraged, and the requestor must sign an advisement form to this effect. Other community members desiring registry information, should be referred to this law enforcement agency. Offenders' addresses are reported at the time of registration and are updated when new information becomes available. The registry information released is subject to change at any time in the future.
There is a $2.50 fee before a list can be obtained.
The Colorado sex offender registry includes only those persons who have been required by law to register and who are in compliance with the sex offender registration laws. Persons should not rely solely on the sex offender registry as a safeguard against perpetrators of sexual assault in their communities. The crime for which a person is convicted may not accurately reflect the level of risk.
If you want to obtain a list of all registered sex offenders within Colorado you can contact the Colorado Bureau of Investigations.
