Colorado state laws determine that records documenting municipal activities like court documents, police arrest records, marriage licenses, vehicular transgressions and more are open and offered to the public, largely due to the Colorado’s Open Record Act of 1969. All relevant information on the numerous happenings of authorities, municipal courts, and local government are incorporated into these records, and are presumed public unless officially redacted. Alamosa Easts authorities and criminals are both held accountable thanks to the transparency given by this legislation, making Alamosa East, and by extension the country, an even more free and open society.
