In the State of Colorado, domestic violence is an offense that merits mandatory arrest. This means that if an officer has reason to believe that an individual has committed an act of domestic violence, the officer is obligated to arrest the suspect. Also, contrary to popular belief, a victim of domestic violence cannot merely “drop charges” against an abuser. The district attorney may decide to go forward with the case even if the victim doesn’t want to.

A domestic violence charge in Colorado triggers an automatic mandatory protection order. If you have an active protection order against you, you are prohibited from having contact or communication with the alleged victim.
