What Colorado's 4th Judicial District Attorney's Office does

Colorado's 4th Judicial District Attorney's Office is a government prosecutorial agency operating under the authority of the State of Colorado, serving the 4th Judicial District which comprises El Paso and Teller Counties. The office is led by elected District Attorney Michael J. Allen (sworn in January 2021) and operates from a main headquarters at 105 E. Vermijo Ave., Colorado Springs, with a satellite office in Cripple Creek. Its statutory mandate is the prosecution of felony, misdemeanor, traffic, and juvenile offenses; in 2021 it handled approximately 6,662 felony cases in El Paso County and 293 in Teller County, processed across 19 felony court divisions.

The office delivers a comprehensive portfolio of prosecution and justice services built around five major units — District Court, County Court, Juvenile Prosecution, Victim Advocacy, and Discovery — supported by specialized units including the Special Victims Unit (Colorado's first, established 2005), the Organized Crime Unit, and the Felony Intake function. It operates an extensive specialty-court network (Veterans Trauma Court, Recovery Court, DUI Court, Domestic Violence Fast Track, Substance Abuse for Pregnant Women), diversion programs (Adult & Juvenile, Human Trafficking), the Neighborhood Justice Center (mediation since 1980), and victim services including Crime Victim Compensation and the VALE grant program. The Investigations Division fields ~30 investigators handling homicides, child deaths, officer-involved shootings, economic crimes, and digital evidence extraction.

The office is funded through El Paso and Teller County taxpayer appropriations and state-level allocations (notably VALE grants). It does not charge for prosecution services; ancillary court fees and fines fund programs like Victim Compensation. Technology is conventional — case management systems, eDiscovery delivery, electronic evidence viewing, public Data Dashboards refreshing every 15 minutes, WebEx-based virtual court appearances, SurveyMonkey-based victim follow-up, and nCourt payment processing — with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. Customer-facing channels include the da4colorado.gov website, court proceedings at the El Paso County Courthouse and Teller County Combined Courts, and online portals for discovery, evidence viewing, and CCJRA/CORA requests.
