Access Littleton Busted Mugshots

Littleton busted mugshots and arrest records are managed by the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office. Littleton has about 48,000 residents and sits in the southern part of the Denver metro area. All bookings for Littleton arrests go through the Arapahoe County Detention Facility in Centennial. You can request records through the county's online portal or contact the sheriff directly. This page explains how to search for Littleton mugshots, where booking records are kept, what fees apply, and what Colorado law says about your right to access these records.

Arapahoe County Handles Littleton Bookings

Littleton is in Arapahoe County. The county sheriff runs the detention facility and handles all bookings. When Littleton Police make an arrest, the person goes to the Arapahoe County Detention Facility at 7375 South Potomac Street, Centennial, CO 80112. The phone number is (720) 874-3500. That is where the mugshot gets taken, fingerprints are collected, and all charges are logged. The booking record enters the Arapahoe County system at that point.

The Arapahoe County jail has a capacity of about 1,400 inmates. It receives an average of 17,000 inmates per year. The facility has been ACA accredited since 1991 and NCCHC accredited since 1989. Littleton shares this jail with other Arapahoe County cities like Centennial, Englewood, and parts of Aurora. No matter which city the arrest happens in, the booking goes through the same facility. Littleton busted mugshots end up in the same database as bookings from across the county.

Note: Littleton Police arrest people, but the Arapahoe County Sheriff handles all jail bookings and mugshot records.

Littleton Mugshot Records Portal

Arapahoe County runs an online records request portal. You can submit requests for Littleton busted mugshots and booking records at recordsrequest.arapahoegov.com. The portal accepts credit cards, debit cards, and electronic checks for payment. This is one of the easier ways to get Littleton arrest data without going to the sheriff's office in person.

The Arapahoe County Sheriff's inmate information page connects to search tools and records request options for Littleton arrests.

The Arapahoe County inmate information page has links to search for current inmates, check charges and bond info, and submit records requests. If you are looking for someone currently in custody from a Littleton arrest, this is the place to start. The page also covers booking photos and other inmate-related data. For older records that are not in the active system, the records request portal is your best bet.

Littleton Police Department

The Littleton Police Department provides law enforcement for the city. Officers patrol the streets, respond to calls, and make arrests. When an officer takes someone into custody in Littleton, the person gets transported to the Arapahoe County jail for booking. The arrest report stays with Littleton PD. The mugshot and booking record go to the county sheriff.

If you need a Littleton police report, contact the department directly. These reports cover what happened during the incident and which officers were involved. They are separate from booking records. For the full picture of a Littleton arrest, you may need records from both the police department and the Arapahoe County Sheriff. The arrest report tells you what led to the arrest. The booking record tells you the charges, bond amount, and mugshot. Together they give a complete view of the case.

Littleton Arrest Records Access

Colorado law gives the public access to Littleton busted mugshots and arrest records. The CCJRA at C.R.S. 24-72-301 through 309 requires that records of official action be open. Arrests, charges, and case dispositions are official actions. Anyone can request Littleton booking data without giving a reason for the request. The Arapahoe County Sheriff must respond within three business days under CORA.

The first hour of research time for records requests is free. After that, the county can charge up to $41.37 per hour. Copies run $0.25 per page. You have to sign a pecuniary gain form saying you will not use the records for direct business solicitation. That is a statewide rule. It applies to all CCJRA requests in Colorado. The Attorney General's CORA page has more details on how the process works, response times, and what to do if a request gets denied.

Written requests should go to the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office at 7375 S. Potomac Street, Centennial, CO 80112. Include the person's full name and, if you have it, a date of arrest or booking number. The more details you provide, the faster the search goes. Most Littleton booking record requests get handled without long delays.

Sealing Littleton Arrest Records

If you have a Littleton arrest on your record, Colorado law may let you seal it. Under C.R.S. 24-72-703, you can petition the Arapahoe County District Court to seal your record. The filing fee is $224. Fee waivers are available for people with low income. Once sealed, the Littleton busted mugshot tied to that arrest will not show up in public searches. The county inmate system will not display it. A CBI check will not return it.

Automatic sealing may apply in some situations. For arrests made on or after January 1, 2022 where the DA never filed charges, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation can seal those records on its own after one year. Drug convictions may also qualify under C.R.S. 24-72-704. Each case has its own timeline and rules. Sealing does not erase the Littleton record from all systems. Law enforcement and prosecutors still have access. But the general public cannot find a sealed record through standard search tools. If you want to check whether your Littleton case qualifies, talk to a lawyer or contact the court.

Statewide Criminal History for Littleton

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation runs criminal history checks for $6 per name. Submit a search at cbirecordscheck.com. The check pulls from the state criminal database and covers all 64 Colorado counties. Any Littleton arrest that made it into the CBI system will show up. The check also picks up records from other parts of the state. This is useful if you need more than just Arapahoe County data. Processing takes a few business days for most name-based requests.

The Colorado DOC offender search is free and covers people in state prison. If a Littleton arrest led to a state sentence, you can find that person in the DOC system. CBI checks do not include sealed records or most juvenile data. For current Littleton inmates, the Arapahoe County tools are faster. But CBI gives you the broadest view of someone's Colorado criminal history.

Track Littleton Inmates

VINE is a free tracking tool for inmates across Colorado. If someone was arrested in Littleton and booked at the Arapahoe County jail, you can register at vinelink.com to get alerts. The system tells you when a person is released, transferred, or has a court date coming up. You can get notices by phone, email, or text. The service runs 24 hours a day and is free to use.
