A) Seek POST and internal discipline for unlawful deactivation
Submit your complaint (attach the Sun reporting) to CCSO Internal Affairs and copy the Colorado POST unit, asserting that turning cameras off while observing a planned public arrest violates activation duties and triggers the permissive inference of misconduct and potential certification sanctions. Cite C.R.S. 24‑31‑902(1)(a)(II)–(IV).
Ask that findings be reported to POST if intentional deactivation is sustained (as the statute contemplates). Colorado General Assembly

Request clarification whether the probation building will be treated as part of “courthouse environs” for purposes of protective orders and way‑finding (many courts now issue standing orders to ensure compliance).

D) County‑level policy & electoral accountability
Urge the Board of County Commissioners to adopt a resolution aligning CCSO policy with HB19‑1124, SB20‑083, SB20‑217, and SB25‑276 (e.g., “warrant‑only” cooperation; no facilitation of civil arrests on/near court property; strict BWC activation and audit).
If internal review is inadequate, consider public censure or recall/electoral pressure (sheriff is an elected office), supported by the statutory citations above. Colorado General Assembly+2Colorado General Assembly+2Justia Law
