Sealing of Criminal Records

Under Colorado Law, a person who was arrested but never charged with a crime, is entitled to have that arrest record sealed. C.R.S. 24-72-704. Courts are required to seal a defendant’s criminal record when a case is completely dismissed, a defendant is acquitted of all charges, a defendant completes a diversion agreement or a deferred judgment. C.R.S. 24-72-705. Even though courts are required to seal the criminal record, this often does not happen. Colorado law also permits the sealing of certain misdemeanor and felony convictions.
