Durango, Colorado

Last updated August 25, 2026

In April 2026 DeFlock Durango presented a "Protect Our Privacy Ordinance" to City Council: a warrant for data access, 72-hour retention except for active cases, no sale of data, council approval for new features or renewals, and a civilian oversight committee. Councilor Shirley Gonzales endorsed it. The organizer says audit logs obtained through records requests show 60 agencies with federal 287(g) immigration agreements searched Durango's network. The police chief says Durango does not share with federal or immigration agencies. The ordinance's current status is unconfirmed.
