Which County Handles Broomfield Arrests
Broomfield is unique in Colorado because it is both a city and a county. The City and County of Broomfield operates its own detention center. All arrests in Broomfield go to the Broomfield Detention Center on Ridge Parkway. This is different from most Colorado cities, which send arrestees to a county jail in another city. Since Broomfield is its own county, it runs its own jail and keeps its own Broomfield jail roster separate from other counties.
About 74,000 people live in Broomfield. The city-county sits between Denver and Boulder, about 20 miles northwest of downtown Denver. Broomfield was formed as a consolidated city-county in 2001. Before that, it was part of four different counties. Now it is one of only two consolidated city-counties in Colorado (the other is Denver). The Broomfield Detention Center is at 11600 Ridge Parkway. The facility has been used as a model for other jails in Colorado because of its programs and approach to inmate management.

Booking and Release in Broomfield
When someone is arrested in Broomfield, they go to the Broomfield Detention Center for booking. Booking includes fingerprints, a mugshot, a medical check, and a criminal history search. This process can take two to six hours. Staff enter the person's name and charges into the system, which creates the Broomfield jail roster entry.

Bond is set by a judge or magistrate. For common offenses, there is a bond schedule, so the person knows the amount right after booking. For serious crimes, the person waits for a bond hearing, which usually happens within 48 hours. You can see bond amounts on the Broomfield jail roster next to each charge. To post bond, pay cash at the jail, use a bondsman, or arrange other methods allowed by the court. Cash bonds get returned after the case ends if the person makes all court dates. Bondsmen charge a fee (10 to 15 percent) that you do not get back. Some people in Broomfield use bondsmen because they do not have enough cash to cover the full bond amount.
Release can take a few hours after bond is posted. The jail must process paperwork and confirm payment before letting the person go. Once released, the person still has court dates. If they miss a date, the bond is forfeited and a warrant goes out. You can check the Broomfield jail roster again to see if the person got re-arrested. The new entry will show up as a warrant arrest or failure to appear. Call the automated system at 720-887-2000 to check if someone got re-arrested on the Broomfield jail roster.

Colorado Laws on Jail Records
Colorado law requires jails to keep daily records and make them public. This is in C.R.S. § 17-26-118. The statute says the keeper of each jail must maintain a record with the inmate's name, date of entrance, date of birth, race, ethnicity, gender, charges, bond amount, and release date. The record must be available to the public at all reasonable hours. This is why you can search the Broomfield jail roster online or by phone any time. The law also defines "confined inmate" to include anyone under jail supervision, even if they are in court, in transit, or at a hospital but would otherwise be in jail.
Colorado also has the Criminal Justice Records Act at C.R.S. § 24-72-301 et seq.. This law says "records of official action" are open unless sealed by a court. Arrest records, charging documents, and dispositions fall under this rule. Most arrest info is public, but agencies can withhold some details if they do a balancing test and decide the public interest is outweighed by privacy or safety concerns. In practice, the basic info you see on the Broomfield jail roster is almost always public. For more detailed records, submit a public records request to the Broomfield Police Department or detention center under Colorado's Open Records Act.
Juvenile records are not public. If someone under 18 is in the Broomfield Detention Center (which is rare), they will not appear on the roster. Colorado law at C.R.S. § 19-1-304 keeps juvenile records sealed except in limited situations. Most juveniles go to a separate juvenile detention center, not the adult jail in Broomfield. If you cannot find a young person on the Broomfield jail roster, they may be in the juvenile system instead.
