About this file
This document is an administrative regulation and consent form package from the Colorado Department of Corrections (DOC) governing facility access, security protocols, and visitor authorization procedures. The AR Form 300-27C establishes contraband policies and requires visitors without permanent identification to complete a background check and sign a consent-to-search authorization form prior to entering DOC facilities. The document contains comprehensive lists of prohibited items including weapons, controlled substances, tobacco products, electronic communication devices, and other materials deemed security threats. Visitors must provide personal information including name, date of birth, driver's license number, address, vehicle details, and purpose of visit. The authorization must be received ten days in advance when possible, and any false information or violation of provisions may result in facility access denial or criminal prosecution. The accompanying AR Form 300-27D provides a clearance matrix specifying different access requirements based on visitor category, ranging from simple consent-to-search authorizations for one-time inspections to full confidential background checks with fingerprinting and urinalysis for volunteers and education contractors requiring 5-year clearances.
The regulatory framework establishes varying clearance timelines and training requirements depending on facility access level and visitor purpose. Facility maintenance vendors and inspection personnel require only consent-to-search authorization valid up to one year, while education contractors and volunteers must complete 8-hour online or in-person universal basic training and facility-specific orientation, with 4-hour annual refreshers and additional CPR/first aid certification for those working 20 or more hours weekly. Parole reentry partners and support service providers can enter with one-time consent-to-search authorizations, though regular visits require full background investigations. The document indicates these procedures are effective as of April 1, 2025, and applies to all DOC facilities and offices statewide. No specific funding amounts, pricing structures, or contract incumbents are addressed in this administrative regulation document.
