POLICE DEPARTMENT COPLINK Demo and Intergovernmental Agreement. COPLINK is a shared, statewide database of individuals who have had previous contact with law enforcement or prior arrests. Agencies across Colorado who are members of COPLINK can access this data, and can search for associations between people, organizations, weapons, properties, vehicles, and locations to assist them in apprehending individuals suspected in crimes or to help solve open criminal cases in a more effective manner.
