CO Code § 16-2-106 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 16 - Criminal Proceedings|Article 2 - County Court Provisions|Part 1 - Simplified Procedures in the County Court|§ 16-2-106. Content of Summons and Complaint

 A summons and complaint issued by a peace officer shall contain the name of the defendant, shall identify the offense charged, including a citation of the statute alleged to have been violated, shall contain a brief statement or description of the offense charged, including the date and approximate location thereof, and shall direct the defendant to appear before a specified county court at a stated date, time, and place.   History. Source: L. 72: R&RE, p. 193, § 1. C.R.S. 1963: § 39-2-106 .    ANNOTATION   Annotator's note. Since § 16-2-106 is similar to repealed § 37-17-7 , C.R.S. 1963, relevant cases construing that provision have been included in the annotations to this section.   The contents of a summons and complaint are those things enumerated in this section, nothing more, nothing less. Francis v. County Court, 175 Colo. 308 , 487 P.2d 375 (1971).   And the only persons designated as having the authority to sign the summons and complaint are peace officers, but there is no requirement that the complainant should be described as a peace officer on the face of the complaint. Francis v. County Court, 175 Colo. 308 , 487 P.2d 375 (1971).   And it is sufficient that the summons alleges that the complainant “knows or believes” rather than stating more formally that he “knows or has reason to believe” that the accused committed the offense charged. Francis v. County Court, 175 Colo. 308 , 487 P.2d 375 (1971).   Moreover, this section does not require a verification of a summons and complaint charging a misdemeanor and issued by a peace officer. Stubert v. County Court, 163 Colo. 535 , 433 P.2d 97 (1967).   And the fact verification is not mentioned is significant. By carefully spelling out in detail the contents of a summons and complaint issued by a peace officer in this section, the fact that there is no mention of any requirement that the summons and complaint contain a verification is quite significant. Francis v. County Court, 175 Colo. 308 , 487 P.2d 375 (1971).

 The place at which the summons directs the defendant to appear shall be the place at which the court having jurisdiction over the matter customarily sits. It shall be a location at which the county court of the county in which the offense was alleged to have been committed sits regularly unless otherwise provided by this section. If the summons and complaint is issued by a peace officer and served personally upon the defendant by such peace officer, it may direct appearance at a location in which the county court of an adjoining county sits regularly if such a place is agreed to be more convenient by both the peace officer and the defendant.

 Any person charged with a misdemeanor or petty offense by complaint filed in the county court shall be admitted to bail or pretrial release as provided in article 4 of this code. When the county judge or judges are not immediately available for purposes of admission to bail or pretrial release of persons arrested and brought to the county court or jail, on charges of committing a misdemeanor or petty offense, such persons may be admitted to bail or be given a pretrial release by an appropriate officer designated by court rule. Unless otherwise provided by statute or supreme court rule, the county court shall provide by rule for the conditions and circumstances under which an admission to bail or pretrial release will be granted pending appearance before the judge, but in no event shall any such rule require conditions or impose liabilities in excess of those required by this code for cases filed in the district court.

ANNOTATION   In addition to procedures under §§ 16-2-112 and 16-3-105 , a county court acquires jurisdiction over a defendant when a warrantless arrest for a misdemeanor offense is made and the defendant is admitted to bail through execution of an appearance bond pursuant to this section and a misdemeanor complaint later is filed in the county court. Weld County Court v. Richards, 812 P.2d 650 (Colo. 1991).   The defendant's release upon admission to bail and the subsequent filing of the complaint complied with the requirements of § 16-2-112 when said section properly is read in conjunction with this section. Weld County Court v. Richards, 812 P.2d 650 (Colo. 1991).   By posting bail and executing an appearance bond the defendant waived service of the complaint on him until his appearance date and this procedure complied with § 16-2-112 and related rules, which do not require that a person charged with a misdemeanor be given a copy of the complaint until at or before the time he is arraigned. Weld County Court v. Richards, 812 P.2d 650 (Colo. 1991).   The statutes and procedural rules do not require that a person charged with a misdemeanor be given a copy of the complaint prior to being released on bail. Weld County Court v.

 If a peace officer makes an arrest without a warrant of a person for a misdemeanor or a petty offense, the arrested person shall be taken without unnecessary delay before the nearest available county or district judge. Thereafter, a complaint shall be filed immediately in the county court having jurisdiction of the offense and a copy thereof given to the defendant at or before the time he is arraigned.

  Upon appearance of the defendant before the judge in response to a summons or following arrest for a misdemeanor or a petty offense and in all proceedings thereafter unless otherwise provided in this code, the Colorado rules of criminal procedure are applicable. Prosecution may be conducted on the summons and complaint or the separate complaint if one has been filed. Trial may be held forthwith if the court calendar permits, immediate trial appears proper, and the parties do not request a continuance for good cause. Otherwise, the case shall be set for trial as soon as possible.    Upon appearance before a judge for an offense under section 42-2-138 (1)(d) or 42-4-1301 (1) or (2)(a), C.R.S., the judge may order conditions of the summons, including but not limited to drug and alcohol evaluation and treatment. For a violation of an order entered pursuant to this subsection (2), a court may revoke the summons, issue a warrant for the defendant's arrest, and impose bail pursuant to the provisions of article 4 of this title.

  A person who is included within the provisions of this article and who meets all standards imposed by law on a peace officer is a peace officer, and, notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person other than a person designated in this article is a peace officer. A peace officer may be certified by the peace officers standards and training board pursuant to part 3 of article 31 of title 24, C.R.S., and, at a minimum, has the authority to enforce all laws of the state of Colorado while acting within the scope of his or her authority and in the performance of his or her duties, unless otherwise limited within this part 1.    A peace officer certified by the peace officers standards and training board shall have the authority to carry firearms at all times, concealed or otherwise, subject to the written firearms policy created by the agency employing the peace officer. All other peace officers shall have the authority to carry firearms, concealed or otherwise, while engaged in the performance of their duties or as otherwise authorized by the written policy of the agency employing the officer.    As used in every statute, unless the context otherwise requires, “law enforcement officer” means a peace officer.     History. Source: L. 2003: Entire article added, p. 1605, § 2, effective August 6.

The jailer is a deputy sheriff and as such is a peace officer within the definition of subsection (3)(l). People v. Shockley, 41 Colo. App. 515, 591 P.2d 589 (1978).   Fellow officer doctrine applicable to parole officer. By definition in the “Colorado Criminal Code”, the parole officer is a “peace officer”, and there is no persuasive reason why a parole officer should not come within the fellow officer doctrine. People v. Bergstrom, 190 Colo. 105 , 544 P.2d 396 (1975).   Under the “fellow officer rule”, a sheriff's deputies were entitled to rely upon and accept the information supplied by the parole officer. People v. Bergstrom, 190 Colo. 105 , 544 P.2d 396 (1975).   For purposes of the reference to subsection (3)(l)(I) made in § 24-31-302 (5) , the certification requirement does not constitute a part of that the referenced definition. Fraternal Order, No. 27 v. Denver, 914 P.2d 483 (Colo. App. 1995).   The phrase “has the authority to enforce all the laws of the state of Colorado while acting within the scope of his authority and in the performance of his duties”, does not constitute a part of the definition of peace officer, level I.
