    Staff cannot give out specific information about a denial. Visitation requests are automatically denied if:

    • The individual has an open criminal or DUI case

    • The individual is required to register as a sex offender

    • There is an active protection order with the resident
    • There was an error with the application (no name listed, no date of birth, multiple adults on one application)
    • The person is not a resident in Larimer County Community Corrections

    Residents can speak to their case managers about denied visitation requests. Visitors may reapply if they have resolved the original reason for denial (such as no longer being under supervision or correcting an error in the application).

  9. Can I drop off items during visitation?

    Yes, more drop off information can be found here https://www.larimer.gov/cja/comcor/dropoffs

  10. How and when do I send belongings to someone accepted into the program?

    You can send your loved ones their belongings once they enter our program. We do not have a space to hold their belongings prior to their entry. You can address the items to your loved one and mail the package to 2255 Midpoint Drive Fort Collins, CO 80525. Dropping off items in-person at the facility is a good option, however please review the specific times and guidelines for this on the Facility Drop-offs webpage. If you are able to drop their items off in person, please be aware that you will not be allowed to visit with your loved one at that time.
