Colorado Mandatory Lethality Assessment Act

Summary

Beginning July 1 2027, peace officers must complete an evidence‑based lethality assessment when they respond to a domestic‑violence incident and, if the victim is judged high‑risk, immediately connect the victim with a community‑based victim advocate. The Attorney General will provide mandatory training for officers, and law‑enforcement agencies must report assessment data each year. The measure is intended to improve safety for victims most likely to face lethal outcomes.
