Colorado Revised Statutes Title 16. Criminal Proceedings § 16-2.5-152. Administrators of judicial security

Administrators of judicial security employed by the judicial department are peace officers whose authority includes the enforcement of all laws of the state of Colorado, and the administrators of judicial security must be certified by the P.O.S.T. board. For the purpose of seeking peace officer status for additional personnel under the title of judicial security administrator, notwithstanding the provisions of section 16-2.5-201, additional administrators of judicial security are granted temporary peace officer status pending application and review by the P.O.S.T. board. Following review by the P.O.S.T. board pursuant to section 16-2.5-201 and upon a favorable recommendation for peace officer status from the P.O.S.T. board to the general assembly, temporary peace officer status for additional administrators is permanent. If the P.O.S.T. board does not recommend peace officer status for additional personnel under the title of judicial security administrator, the temporary peace officer status expires on June 30, 2025, unless the general assembly provides otherwise. Any peace officer positions created pursuant to this section after January 1, 2025, shall be approved by the general assembly through a decision item in the judicial department's annual budget request.
