The Colorado Springs Police Department ("CSPD") received your records request dated August 4, 2016. The request seeks records under the Colorado Open Records Act ("CORA").
The Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act ("CCJRA") as codified in C.R.S. § 24-72-301 et. seq. governs the release of criminal justice records. The records you have requested are considered criminal justice records as defined in C.R.S. § 24-72-302(4) which are held by a law enforcement agency. The time response deadlines contained within the CORA statute do not apply to requests for records governed by the CCJRA. Please note that since your request is for records other than records of "official action" as defined in C.R.S. § 24-72-302(7), the release of the requested records is within the discretion of the official custodian per C.R.S. § 24-72-304(1) subject to the statutory requirements contained within the CCJRA as well as the balancing requirements prescribed by the Colorado Supreme Court in Harris v. Denver Post 123 P.3d 1166, 1175 (Colo.2005) and other Colorado case law.
This investigation is still an active case.
