The state of Colorado recognizes that some victims want to continue receiving incarceration information about their offender after sentencing, while others do not; the statute specifically allows for the victim to make this decision. In the event that you want to continue with notifications and the Rights defined at the post-sentencing stage, it is important that you notify the Victim Services Unit of the Weld Sheriff's Office in writing using the registration form at the bottom of this page.

Please remember to KEEP US INFORMED of ANY changes in your address, email address and all phone contact information to ensure you receive timely notifications. By doing so, you help us in providing you the notifications and information you need. You can email any changes to your contact information to victimservices@co.weld.co.us or register for automatic release notification at http://www.vinelink.com/
