The court must ensure that court and probation services and programs are physically accessible to people with disabilities by removing architectural barriers. Examples of architectural accommodations to facilitate accessibility to people with disabilities are: providing wheelchair ramps and wheelchair accessible restrooms, adjusting the height of public information counters, labeling facilities with Braille lettering, providing adequate lighting in the courtrooms for those with vision disabilities, and providing adjustable microphones for witnesses.

The court also must ensure that its communications with people with disabilities are as effective as communications with others and that all can fully participate and enjoy the services and programs provided. The provision of auxiliary aids and services, at no charge, may be a reasonable accommodation to ensure effective communication for a person with a hearing, visual or speech disability. The type of auxiliary aid or service necessary to ensure effective communication will vary in accordance with the length and complexity of the communication involved and the individual’s specific disability and preferred mode of communication. Every effort shall be made to meet the specific needs of the individual. The court is not responsible, however, for providing devices of a personal nature such as prescription eyeglasses, hearing aids, wheelchairs, and/or personal medical or attendant care. 
 

Yes. Persons petitioning the court to adopt a child, and all adults residing in the home, must complete three background checks: 

1. Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) background check
2. FBI Fingerprint Identification
3. Child Abuse and Neglect Records Check (CDHS TRAILS)  

Background checks must be conducted within 90 days prior to filing. Petitioner should attach copies of all three background checks to the petition.

A sentence to probation is ordered by the Court after an adult defendant pleads guilty or is found guilty of a criminal offense. A juvenile may be sentenced to probation if adjudicated a delinquent by the Court because of a criminal act. The Probation Department also supervises offenders who reach an agreement for a deferred sentence or adjudication with the District Attorney’s office.

If you require an ADA accommodation, please submit an ADA Request at least 5 days prior to the date of your jury service. An ADA request must include a specific reasonable accommodation that may assist you to serve as a juror. If there are no reasonable accommodations that will assist you to serve as a juror, please complete either a Postponement or Disqualification form depending on which will best serve your situation. Visit the ADA Accommodation program for additional information on the Americans with Disabilities Act and ADA coordinators. 

You will want to check with your local courthouse to make sure, but most courthouses will take Cash, Check, Credit Card, Debit Card or Money Order as acceptable forms of payment. Proof of ID will be required.

No. Probation is a sentencing option imposed instead of a sentence to the Colorado Department of Corrections for adults or commitment to the Division of Youth Corrections for juveniles. Parole is a conditional release from the secure custody provided by either of these state departments. Supervision requirements may be similar and there are rare occasions when someone is on parole and probation at the same time.

Probation Officers can take individuals who are on probation into custody. They cannot arrest people who are not on probation.
