Colorado Arrest Records Search | Criminal Records

Ask whether the arrest was made by a city police department, county sheriff, Colorado State Patrol or another agency.

The arresting city is not always the jail location. Write down the county, agency and approximate arrest time.

Use the county finder below. Start with the last name or booking number and avoid filling every optional field.

Ask whether the person has arrived, whether intake is complete and which name spelling or booking number should be used.

Record the county court, case number if available and the date or time of the next appearance.

Write down the booking number, facility, arrest date, charge wording and bond status. These details help avoid matching another person with a similar name.

Use the arresting agency, city and court location to identify the most likely county detention facility.

Use a government or sheriff-operated search. Avoid sites that require payment merely to reveal current jail custody.

Start with two or more letters of the last name where permitted. Add the first name or booking number only when necessary.

Check the booking number, age, admission date, facility, arresting agency, charge and bond status.

Online custody, release and bond fields can change. Call the facility before travelling or paying money.

Start at the Colorado Judicial Branch records-search page.

Use the county where the criminal case was filed. Denver County Court and municipal courts may use different record routes from state county and district courts.

Use the official docket search. At least one filter in addition to the date is required.

Match the name, county, case number, filing date, division and event type. A common name may return unrelated cases.

Use the Judicial Branch record/document request form or contact the clerk in the handling county.

Check later filings, amended charges, dismissals, plea entries, sentence information and final disposition.

Go to Internet Criminal History Check.

Confirm that a Colorado-only, name-based record is appropriate for your purpose before paying.

Use the legal name, date of birth and other requested details. A similar name can produce a record belonging to someone else.

Compare aliases, dates, arresting agencies, case information and dispositions where available.

Record the search date and protect personal information. CBI-generated online checks may have certification or notarization limitations.

Use the inmate locator and write down the DOC number and complete facility name.

Read the CDOC approval process.

Complete the application accurately. Minor visitors must be properly listed with the required parent, guardian or authorisation documentation.

Do not arrive merely because the form was submitted. Facility administration controls approval and visiting-list status.

Visiting days, capacity, check-in procedures and restrictions may differ between institutions.

Review the official visitation rules, identification requirements and prohibited items.

Use the court clerk, arresting agency and CBI result to collect the case number, arrest number and agency information.

Request the dismissal, acquittal, sentence or other final order from the handling court.

Open the Judicial Branch Seal My Case page.

The page provides separate instructions for arrests with no charges, non-convictions, convictions, municipal convictions, multiple cases and juvenile expungement.

Use the Sealed Case Search when you need to confirm sealing under the specific automatic-sealing statute covered by that tool.

Use CBI’s record-update, disposition-update or sealing guidance after obtaining the appropriate official order.
