  • Please submit complaints through our online form only. Once a complaint is submitted, it is considered an open investigation, and information regarding the investigation cannot be provided until the case is closed.
     
  • All complaints submitted are reviewed, however, complaints submitted from reporting parties that have not actually witnessed an issue with the facility themselves will be considered inapplicable and will not be investigated.
     
  • Filing an official complaint from viewing a social media post or via secondhand information or word of mouth may be subject to prosecution for false reporting.
     
  • Anonymous complaints are accepted, however, providing your contact information will allow us to obtain additional information to complete a more thorough investigation. Personal contact information such as phone number, email, and address will remain confidential. Please note that some information such as the name of the person filing the complaint may be subject to the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA).
