Investigations of officer-involved critical incidents (deadly and non-deadly use of force) present a unique set of circumstances, which make them more complex than routine investigations. Law enforcement agencies in the 23rd Judicial District pool resources through a Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT) to investigate these incidents, and the District Attorney’s Office determines whether the use of force was lawful or criminal in nature. See § 16-2.5-302(1)(a), C.R.S. (2026). If no criminal charges are filed following the completion of the investigation, the District Attorney’s Office is required to post the report on its website. See § 20-1-114(1), C.R.S. (2026).
