Get Northglenn Arrest Records
Under the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act, arrest records from Northglenn are public. The CCJRA at C.R.S. 24-72-301 says records of official action must be open. That includes arrests, charges, mugshots, and case outcomes. Anyone can request them. You do not need to give a reason.
To get copies of Northglenn booking records, send a written request to the Adams County Sheriff's Office. Include the full name of the person and the arrest date if you know it. Mail it to 4430 S. Adams County Parkway, 1st Floor, Suite W5400, Brighton, CO 80601. You can also email sheriff@adcogov.org. The first hour of staff research time is free under Colorado law.

Statewide Checks for Northglenn
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation offers a statewide criminal history check that covers Northglenn and every other city in the state. Each name search costs $6 at cbirecordscheck.com. Results show arrest records from all Colorado counties, not just Adams. If someone arrested in Northglenn also has records in Denver or Weld County, the CBI check will pull those up too. Sealed records and juvenile arrests do not appear in the results.
The CBI is a state agency. It does not hold records from every local department. But it collects fingerprint and arrest data from agencies across Colorado, including the Adams County Sheriff. If you need a formal background check that goes beyond the Adams County jail roster, the CBI tool gives you that broader view. Processing takes a few business days for standard name-based requests. Fingerprint checks cost more and take longer.
The Colorado DOC offender search is another free tool. It shows people in state prison with photos and conviction info. If someone from Northglenn got a state sentence, they will show up there.
Sealing Northglenn Mugshots
If you have a Northglenn arrest on your record, Colorado law may let you seal it. Under C.R.S. 24-72-703, you can petition the court to seal arrest and criminal records. The filing fee is $224. Courts can waive it based on income. Once sealed, the Northglenn busted mugshot tied to that arrest will not show up in public searches. The Adams County inmate lookup and CBI checks will both skip over sealed records.
Some Northglenn arrest records may qualify for automatic sealing. If you were arrested after January 1, 2022, and charges were never filed, CBI can seal those records after one year passes. Drug offenses follow separate rules under C.R.S. 24-72-704, with their own waiting periods. Sealing does not erase the record. Law enforcement and prosecutors still have access. But the general public will not find it through normal search tools.
Colorado's HB 14-1047 also makes it illegal for websites to charge you money to take down your mugshot. If a Northglenn booking photo shows up on a pay-to-remove site, you can demand free removal. Civil damages of up to $1,000 per violation are available.
