In Colorado, there are two separate types of False Reporting. Both are can have a serious impact on your life and if you are facing charges of False Reporting you should consult with a Denver criminal defense attorney immediately.
The first type of false reporting is providing information to a police officer that is not true, the other is if they falsely report to authorities that there are explosives, weapons, or other harmful substances.
