Mr. Waltman,
We are in receipt of your request.
Upon review it appears to be a very broad request, which could potentially
incur a large cost to produce.
I was wondering if we could set up a time to talk on the phone where I, and
a member of our staff who works on bail issues, could discuss your request
and see if we can see how best to find the information you're looking for.
Let me know your availability early next week and we'll set something up.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Respectfully,
*Matt Mortier*
*Director and Custodian of Records*

HI Matt,
I realized when I submitted it I might very well have to speak with you and trim up my request a little bit. I would be more than happy to discuss it! I can talk anytime that is good for you either Monday or Tuesday, just let me know when works. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Curtis Waltman

Mr. Waltman,
It was a pleasure speaking with you today.
Based on our conversation, I'm including links and instructions to access a
list of the companies that offer the bail recovery (POST) courses in
Colorado, as well as the link and instructions to access a list of licensed
bail companies in Colorado.
I'm also including a link to Colorado Insurance Regulation 1-2-11, which
governs education courses for bail producers, and a link to Colorado
Insurance Bulletin B-1.4, which addresses curriculum requirements for bail
and bail recovery prelicensure.
All of this information is included in the document below.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or if I can be of further
assistance.
I hope you have a good afternoon.
Respectfully,
*Matt Mortier*
