Which County Handles Louisville Arrests

Louisville is in Boulder County, and all arrests in Louisville go to Boulder County Jail. The county seat is Boulder, so the main jail sits in Boulder at 3200 Airport Road. This is the same jail that serves all of Boulder County, including Boulder, Longmont, Lafayette, and smaller towns. When you search the Louisville jail roster, you see arrests from across the county, not just Louisville city limits. The Boulder County Sheriff's Office runs the jail under the statutory responsibility given to sheriffs by Colorado law.

Boulder County has about 330,000 people. The county covers the Front Range foothills and plains east of the mountains. Most people live in Boulder or Longmont, but Louisville is a mid-size town with its own police department. The jail handles all felony and misdemeanor arrests from local police and the sheriff's office. The facility is near the Boulder Municipal Airport, a few miles from downtown Boulder and about 10 miles from Louisville. If you need to visit or post bond, use the Airport Road address, not the courthouse address in downtown Boulder.

For details on visitation, inmate services, bond procedures, and records requests across Boulder County, see the full Boulder County jail roster page. That page covers all the county programs, fees, and how to get copies of booking records from the sheriff's office in Boulder.

Boulder County Jail

Boulder County Jail sits at 3200 Airport Road in Boulder, CO 80301. The jail is run by the Boulder County Sheriff's Office. It holds inmates awaiting trial and those serving short sentences. The jail offers several programs, including GED testing, religious services, education, wellness, and rehab. Some inmates work as inmate workers or qualify for alternative sentencing. The jail follows C.R.S. § 17-26-118, which requires daily records that are open to the public.

The jail is east of downtown Boulder, near the airport. It is about a 15-minute drive from Louisville via Highway 36 and Foothills Parkway. Public transit serves the area via RTD bus routes, but many people drive to the jail. If you drive, there is visitor parking at the facility. The jail has its own entrance separate from the sheriff's office. Bring a photo ID if you plan to visit or post bond. Staff screen all visitors at the door, so leave weapons, drugs, and large bags at home when you go to the Boulder County Jail.

How to Search the Louisville Jail Roster

You can search the Louisville jail roster online at the Boulder County Sheriff's Office website. The jail listing 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 type a name. The system shows results right away. Most people find who they are looking for in less than a minute using a last name or full name.

Go to this page to start your search. The site has a search box where you enter the inmate's name. Results show booking number, name, date of birth, arrest date, charges, and bond amount. Click on an inmate for more details. 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 Louisville jail roster only shows current inmates. If someone was released, they will not appear in the listing. For info on past bookings, call the Records Division at 303-441-3600. 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. Daily booking reports are also posted on the Boulder County website. These show who was booked in the past 24 hours across Louisville and the rest of the county. Some reports include mugshots, but not all.

Booking and Release in Louisville

When someone is arrested in Louisville, they go to Boulder County Jail for booking. Louisville Police Department transports arrestees to the jail in Boulder. 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 Louisville 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 jail at 303-441-4650 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 Louisville 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 Louisville 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 Louisville 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 Boulder County labels it in their records system. Louisville residents should note that missing court can lead to higher bond amounts on re-arrest or even no bond at all.

Some inmates in Louisville cases get personal recognizance bonds. This means no cash up front. They sign a form and walk out. If they skip court, they owe the full amount. PR bonds are common for minor charges and first-time offenders. The judge decides if someone gets a PR bond at the bond hearing. If not, the person or their family must post cash or hire a bondsman to get out of Boulder County Jail. Louisville residents with jobs and family ties in the area are more likely to get PR bonds.

Inmate Services in Louisville

Boulder 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 Louisville 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 may be in person or by video. Rules change based on the housing unit, so check with the jail before you go. Some inmates can only get video visits. In-person visits happen at the jail on Airport Road. 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. No physical contact is allowed except for a brief hug at the start and end in some 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 Boulder County courts. The phone system is run by a third-party vendor. You set up the account on their website, not the county website. Rates can be high, so many families add funds weekly to stay in touch.

You can send mail to an inmate at Boulder County Jail. Use this address:

• Inmate Name, Booking Number
• Boulder County Jail
• 3200 Airport Road
• Boulder, CO 80301

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 Louisville jail roster. For faster communication, some families use the email system if the jail offers it. Check the Boulder County Jail website for current options and any 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 Louisville 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 Louisville jail roster is almost always public. For more detailed records, submit a public records request to the Boulder County Sheriff's Office under Colorado's Open Records Act. Some records may have fees for copies.

Juvenile records are not public. If someone under 18 is in Boulder 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 in Boulder. If you cannot find a young person on the Louisville jail roster, they may be in the juvenile system instead or held at a specialized youth facility.
