Adult Services

As designed under Colorado statute, Community Corrections works to reintegrate adult felony offenders into the local community. Community Corrections provides the following services in residential and nonresidential settings to nonviolent offenders: individual and group counseling, life skills training, financial planning and management, and crisis intervention. Community Corrections assists the courts and the Larimer County Detention Center by making bond recommendations so that people who are not a danger to the community are released pending court appearance.

They provide detention screening, crisis intervention, family counseling, monitored home detention and short-term Host Home placements.
