A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Teller County depends on where the incident happened: the Teller County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Colorado Open Records Act requires of it.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Teller County
A crime, incident or collision report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court, the jail or the prosecutor.
In Teller County that is the Teller County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
The FBI's list also carries the Division of Gaming Criminal Enforcement and Investigations Section, Cripple Creek (state agency), with a records office of its own.
The Green Mountain Falls Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Teller County, so its arrests are not broken out for Teller County here.
