Many Colorado Springs area prosecutors have a firm policy that they will not dismiss domestic violence charges even when the alleged victim asks that the case be dropped. This is because once domestic violence charges have been filed it is the State of Colorado prosecuting the case, not the victim.
Under Colorado law domestic violence cases can carry consequences such as domestic violence classes and restraining orders prohibiting or limiting your contact with your loved ones. Colorado domestic violence cases can also have further impact on your ability to obtain or keep a security clearance or your right to carry a weapon. If you are in the Armed Forces domestic violence charges can have additional impacts that can even end your career.
