Supreme Court of Colorado

The Gazette; Christopher N. Osher, reporter for the Gazette; and the Invisible Institute v. Erik Bourgerie

December 23, 2024560 P.3d 964

Summary

The court affirmed the judgment that POST is a criminal justice agency and that the CCJRA, rather than CORA, governs the requested records. It held that POST satisfies the statutory definition because it performs activities directly relating to the detection or investigation of crime, including investigations by its director and investigator into suspected criminal conduct. The court reached that conclusion on narrower and different grounds than the court of appeals.
