Colorado’s 1969 Open Records Act guarantees its inhabitants the ability to look for, look at, and take records held by municipalities all over the state, including documents, vehicular traffic infractions, marriage and divorce permits, property and lien records, and more. This statute, itself in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act at the national level, gives Penrose citizens with specifics associated with instances of governmental involvement, including the addresses and names of those involved, the events leading up an event, results and sentences passed down, and more. Penroses law enforcement and criminals are both held accountable because of the openness given by this legislation, making Penrose, and by extension the country, a more free and open society.
