Arrest and prosecution standards, developed by two Colorado counties, provide guidance to law enforcement officers and prosecuting attorneys when making discretionary decisions.
Abstract
The guidelines aid police officers in making the decision to issue a summons, book and release, or lodge in jail. Prosecutors are provided guidance for almost all facets of case processing from the decision to charge to the considerations involved in the offer of a disposition.
