Colorado Laws on Jail Records

Colorado law requires all county jails to keep a daily roster under C.R.S. § 17-26-118. This statute says the roster must include inmate names, booking dates, dates of birth, race, ethnicity, gender, charges, bond amounts, and release dates. The public can access this information at reasonable hours. Weld County follows this law by maintaining online arrest and release reports that anyone can view for free.

The Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act governs access to arrest records and other law enforcement documents. Most arrest records are public unless sealed by a court. Juvenile records are different. Under C.R.S. § 19-1-304, records for inmates under 18 are confidential. The jail will not release juvenile information to the general public. Only parents, guardians, and attorneys for the minor can get those records. For adult inmates, the roster is public and anyone can view it online or request it from the Sheriff's Office in Weld County.
