Written Authorization to Request a CAPS Check

Colorado Adult Protective Services CAPS Check Unit

A check of the Colorado Adult Protective Services (APS) data system (CAPS) is required for an individual who may be employed or contracted to provide direct care to at-risk adults. An employer may also request a check for an eligible existing employee, volunteer, or CDASS provider.

The CAPS check tells the authorized agency whether the individual has been substantiated in an APS case involving mistreatment of an at-risk adult, including physical abuse, sexual abuse, caretaker neglect, exploitation, or a harmful act. More information is in C.R.S. 26-3.1-111 and 12 CCR 2518-1.

Written authorization is required before the check. Complete this form in full. Knowingly providing inaccurate information for a CAPS check is a class 2 misdemeanor under C.R.S. 26-3.1-111(6)(e.7).

CAPS results are confidential and may be shared only with people involved in the employer’s hiring process, as permitted by law. A screening or staffing agency may share results with the employer it supports for a direct-care position.
