Colorado state guidelines dictate that records recording municipal actions such as court documents, arrest records, marriage certificates, traffic infractions and more are open and accessible to the general public, largely because of the Colorado’s Open Record Act of 1969. This statute, itself in line with the Freedom of Information Act at the federal level, offers Nederland residents with details associated with cases of governmental involvement, including the names and addresses of those involved, the activities leading up an occurrence, effects and sentences handed down, and more. Nederland is dedicated to promoting a free and open community, and embraces these laws and regulations, giving its residents the resources they require to keep both law enforcement and criminals similarly culpable for their activity.
