How to Search the Evans Jail Roster

You can search the Evans jail roster online at the Weld County Sheriff's Office website. The daily arrests page shows current inmates and their charges. This tool is free and updates daily. You do not need an account to search. Just go to the page and look through the list or use your browser's search function. The system shows results for arrests made starting from February 14, 2006, up until arrests made yesterday. Most people find who they are looking for in less than a minute by searching the page for a name.

Go to this page to start your search. The site lists all recent arrests with booking number, name, date of birth, arrest date, charges, and bond amount. The list is long, so use your browser's "Find" function to search for a name. Some inmates have multiple charges, so read the full list before assuming anything. Bond info is listed next to each charge. If any charge shows "NO BOND," the inmate cannot be released until a judge changes the bond order.

The Evans jail roster shows arrests going back many years. If someone was released, you can check the daily releases page to see when they got out. For more info on past bookings, call the sheriff's office at 970-356-4015. Staff can look up old arrest records and tell you the booking date, release date, and charges. They can send you printed records if you need them for background checks, court, or legal matters. Some records require a formal request under Colorado's Open Records Act, so ask staff what process applies to the records you want from Weld County Jail.

Booking and Release in Evans

When someone is arrested in Evans, they go to Weld County Jail for booking. Evans Police Department transports arrestees to the jail in Greeley. 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 Evans jail roster entry. The public can then see the arrest online. The roster updates daily, so new bookings may not show up until the next day's report is posted. For the most current info, call the sheriff's office at 970-356-4015 and ask about a recent arrest.

Bond is set by a judge or commissioner. 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 Evans 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 Evans use bondsmen because they do not have enough cash to cover the full bond amount set by the court.

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 at the Weld County courthouse in Greeley. If they miss a date, the bond is forfeited and a warrant goes out. You can check the Evans 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, depending on how Weld County labels it in their system. Evans residents should know that missing court can result in a warrant and a new arrest that shows up on the jail roster within hours.

Some inmates are released on personal recognizance bonds. This means they do not pay cash up front. Instead, they sign a promise to appear in court. This is common for minor offenses or first-time offenders. The judge decides at the bond hearing whether someone qualifies for a PR bond. If granted, the person walks out of Weld County Jail without paying, but they still owe the full bond amount if they skip court. Evans residents with good community ties and no prior failures to appear are more likely to get PR bonds.

Inmate Services in Evans

Weld County Jail offers several services for inmates and their families. Visitation, phone calls, and mail are the main ways to stay in touch with someone in the Evans jail roster. All of these services have rules you must follow. Break the rules and you may lose access to the inmate for a while. The jail posts all its rules on the website, so read them before you try to visit or send anything to an inmate.

Visitation happens at the jail in Greeley. You must be on the inmate's approved visitor list before you show up. To get approved, the inmate submits a request to jail staff with your name and info. Staff check your background and either approve or deny the request. This can take a few days. Once approved, you can schedule a visit by calling the jail or using the online system if available. Visits last 20 to 30 minutes in most cases. Dress appropriately and follow all rules. Staff can end a visit early if you break any rules during the visit. No physical contact is allowed in most housing units.

Inmates can make phone calls but cannot receive them. They use the jail phone system to call out. All calls are collect or pre-paid through a phone account. Family members set up the account online and add funds. Then the inmate calls using the account balance. All calls are recorded except calls to attorneys. Do not talk about the case or anything that could hurt the defense. Recorded calls can be used as evidence in Weld County courts. The phone system is run by a third-party vendor, so you set up the account on their website, not the county website. Rates can be high, so many families add funds weekly or monthly to stay in touch with an inmate.

You can send mail to an inmate at Weld County Jail. Contact the jail for the correct mailing address. Do not send cash, checks, or gifts in the mail. Use the inmate commissary system to deposit funds. All mail is opened and inspected before inmates see it. Staff remove anything that breaks jail rules. Letters usually take one to three days to arrive if mailed from Colorado. Out-of-state mail takes longer to reach an inmate on the Evans jail roster. For faster communication, some families use the email system if the jail offers it. Check the Weld County Jail website for current options and fees.

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 Evans jail roster online 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 Evans jail roster is almost always public. For more detailed records, submit a public records request to the Weld County Sheriff's Office under Colorado's Open Records Act. Some records may have fees for copies or processing time.

Juvenile records are not public. If someone under 18 is in Weld County Jail (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. If you cannot find a young person on the Evans jail roster, they may be in the juvenile system instead or held at a specialized facility for young offenders.
