In this article, we briefly discuss how competency to proceed evaluations are conducted within the state of Colorado, the impact that COVID-19 had on forensic evaluations within the Colorado forensic services system, and the acquisition and adoption of videoconferencing (VC) capabilities. We then shift to an in-depth consideration of how VC forensic evaluations are facilitated in four different contexts: for adult defendants in custody, on bond, and in hospitals, and for juvenile defendants. Challenges and limitations are also addressed.
