All arrests in Loveland go through the Larimer County jail at 2405 Midpoint Drive in Fort Collins for booking. The sheriff posts inmate data, booking reports, and released inmate lists online.

Loveland Quick Facts
Loveland Arrests and Larimer County
Loveland does not have its own jail. All Loveland arrests get processed at the Larimer County jail in Fort Collins, about 15 miles north of town. The jail is at 2405 Midpoint Drive, Fort Collins, CO 80525. The phone number is (970) 498-5200. When someone gets arrested in Loveland, they are taken to this facility. That is where the mugshot is taken and the booking record is created. Loveland busted mugshots end up in the Larimer County records system.
The Loveland Police Department handles law enforcement within the city. Officers respond to calls, patrol the streets, and make arrests. But once a person is in custody, the county takes over for booking. Loveland PD keeps its own arrest reports and incident reports. The mugshot itself lives with the Larimer County Sheriff. If you want a Loveland booking photo, you need to go through the county system. The Larimer County jail was built for 450 inmates but can hold up to 617. Bonds can be posted around the clock at the facility.
Note: Loveland Police arrest people, but the Larimer County Sheriff books them and holds all mugshot records.
Search Loveland Arrest Records Online
The Larimer County Sheriff gives you three online tools to search for Loveland busted mugshots. The inmate search shows people currently held at the jail. Type at least two letters of the last name and the system shows matching records. Results include charges and bond amounts. The tool is free and does not need an account.
Use the Larimer County inmate search to find anyone currently held at the jail from a Loveland arrest.
The daily booking report at the booking report page shows who was recently brought in, even if they bonded out already. The released inmates page shows people who have left custody. All three tools are free and update through the day. For Loveland residents, these are the fastest way to find recent mugshots and booking data without making a formal records request.
If a Loveland arrest does not show up in the inmate search, the person may already be released. Check the released inmates page next. The booking report catches recent activity even after release. Between these three tools, you can track most recent Loveland arrest activity through the Larimer County system.
Note: The Larimer County inmate search needs at least two letters of the last name to start.
Loveland Booking Records Request
For older Loveland busted mugshots that are not in the online system, you need to file a records request. The Larimer County Sheriff's records division handles these. There is a $7.50 non-refundable search fee. Copies cost $0.25 per page on top of that. The system holds records going back to 2005. For anything older, ask about archived files. You can also fax a request to (970) 407-9034.
Under the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act at C.R.S. 24-72-301 through 309, records of official action are public. That includes Loveland arrests, charges, and case outcomes. The Larimer County Sheriff must respond within three business days. You do not have to explain why you want the records. Be specific about the name and arrest date to speed things up. The more detail you give, the faster the staff can find the right Loveland booking file.
Loveland Police Department
The Loveland Police Department is the primary law enforcement agency in the city. Officers handle all calls for service, criminal investigations, and arrests within Loveland city limits. After an arrest, the person goes to the Larimer County jail for booking. The police department keeps arrest reports and incident reports. These are separate from the booking records and mugshots held by the county sheriff.
If you need a Loveland arrest report, contact the police department. If you need the mugshot or booking record, go through the Larimer County Sheriff. Sometimes you need both to get the full story. The arrest report tells you what happened. The booking record tells you the charges and bond amount. Together they give a complete picture. Loveland PD also works with other Larimer County agencies on joint operations. In those cases, the booking still goes through the county jail regardless of which agency made the arrest.
Sealing Loveland Arrest Records
Colorado law lets you seal certain arrest records. This applies to Loveland busted mugshots held in the Larimer County system. Under C.R.S. 24-72-703, you can petition the court to seal your record. The fee is $224 and can be waived for low income. Once sealed, a Loveland mugshot will not show in public searches. Law enforcement can still see it. The general public cannot.
If charges were never filed after a Loveland arrest made on or after January 1, 2022, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation may seal those records on its own after one year. Drug convictions may qualify too under C.R.S. 24-72-704. Every case is different. The Colorado Judicial Branch records guide has more on how the sealing process works. If you think your Loveland record qualifies, talk to a lawyer or contact the Larimer County District Court for guidance on what to file and when.
Note: Sealing a Loveland record blocks public access but does not erase it from law enforcement databases.
Statewide Checks for Loveland Records
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation runs criminal history checks for $6 per name at cbirecordscheck.com. The check covers all 64 Colorado counties. Any Loveland arrest in the CBI database will show up, plus records from anywhere else in the state. CBI checks do not include sealed records. Processing takes a few business days for most requests. For current Loveland inmates, the Larimer County inmate search is faster. But CBI gives the complete statewide picture.
The Colorado DOC offender search is free and covers people in state prison. If a Loveland arrest led to a prison sentence, that person would appear in the DOC system. Combine the Larimer County inmate search, a CBI check, and the DOC search for the widest possible coverage when looking into Loveland busted mugshots and criminal history records.
Track Loveland Inmates
VINE is a free tool for tracking inmates at the Larimer County jail. If someone was arrested in Loveland, sign up at vinelink.com and get alerts when their status changes. Releases, transfers, and court dates all trigger a notification. You can get alerts by phone, email, or text. The service runs 24 hours a day.
VINE does not show Loveland busted mugshots. It tracks custody status only. For booking photos, use the Larimer County inmate search or submit a records request. VINE fills a different gap. It tells you the moment someone leaves custody so you do not have to keep checking the jail listing yourself. Many people use VINE alongside the county tools for complete coverage of a Loveland case from booking through release.
