Boulder County Busted Mugshots

Boulder County busted mugshots and booking records come from the Boulder County Sheriff's Office, which runs the jail at 3200 Airport Road in Boulder, Colorado. The sheriff posts daily booking data and a current jail listing through its open data portal. Anyone can search for recent arrests and booking photos using these free tools. Boulder County handles all local bookings for the area, including people picked up in Boulder and Longmont. This page walks through every way to look up Boulder County mugshots, where to find booking reports, and how to request older arrest records from the sheriff's records division.

Boulder County Booking Reports

The Boulder County Sheriff gives public access to booking reports and a current jail listing. These are the two main tools for finding Boulder County busted mugshots. The booking report shows daily arrests. The jail listing shows who is currently in custody. Both are free to use and do not need an account or login. The sheriff updates these throughout the day as new bookings and releases take place at the Boulder County jail.

The Boulder County booking and listing reports page is the starting point for all mugshot and arrest searches in the county.

This page links to both the jail listing tool and the daily booking report for Boulder County.

From here you can go to the jail listing, which shows every person held at the Boulder County jail right now. It includes their name, charges, and bond amount. The booking report page covers recent arrests. Both tools pull from the same data that the sheriff's office collects during the intake process at the Boulder County jail on Airport Road. If someone was booked in the last 24 hours, they should show up on the daily report. For people booked earlier, the jail listing is a better place to check if they are still being held.

Note: The Boulder County jail listing only shows current inmates, not people who have already been released.

Daily Bookings in Boulder County

The Boulder County Sheriff runs an open data portal that tracks daily bookings at the jail. You can see the Boulder County daily booking database to view recent arrests. The data includes the person's name, date of birth, booking date, and charges filed. This is one of the most direct ways to find Boulder County busted mugshots and arrest details. The database refreshes regularly so new bookings appear soon after they are processed at the facility.

Use this tool to check the most recent arrests processed at the Boulder County jail.

The jail listing at sheriff.boco.solutions works the same way but focuses on who is still in custody. If you want to know whether someone is currently held at the Boulder County jail, that is the page to check. The daily bookings page is better for seeing who was recently brought in, even if they have already bonded out. Between these two tools, most people can find what they need when searching for Boulder County booking records.

Arrest Records in Boulder County

Boulder County arrest records are public under the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act, often called the CCJRA. This law says that records of official action must be open to the public. Arrests, charges, indictments, and case outcomes all fall under that rule. You do not need to explain why you want them. The Boulder County Sheriff's Office must respond to your request within three business days. The CCJRA applies to all law enforcement agencies in Colorado, so the same rules cover every arrest record in Boulder County regardless of which local department made the arrest.

To get older Boulder County mugshots or arrest records that are not in the online system, you need to submit a records request. The Boulder County Sheriff's website says to submit a records request for case reports, mugshots, or body worn camera footage. Contact the records division at (303) 441-3600. They handle all written requests for past booking data. Be specific about the person's name, date of arrest if you know it, and what records you need. The more detail you provide, the faster the Boulder County staff can locate the files.

Colorado's Open Records Act, known as CORA, also applies to certain records held by Boulder County. CORA covers a broader range of government documents beyond criminal justice records. If the CCJRA does not cover what you need, CORA may still give you a path to get it. The first hour of research time is generally free. After that, agencies can charge a reasonable fee for staff time and copies.

Sealing Boulder County Records

Colorado law lets people petition to seal their criminal records. This applies to Boulder County busted mugshots and arrest records. Under C.R.S. 24-72-703, you can ask a court to seal your record if you meet the eligibility rules. The filing fee is $224, though the court can waive it for people with low income. Once sealed, a Boulder County mugshot will not show up in public searches. Law enforcement can still see it, but the general public cannot.

Some records qualify for automatic sealing. If charges were never filed after an arrest in Boulder County, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation may seal those records on its own after one year. This applies to arrests made on or after January 1, 2022. Drug offense convictions may also be eligible under C.R.S. 24-72-710. The rules vary based on the type of charge and how much time has passed since the case ended. If you think your Boulder County arrest record should be sealed, consult with a lawyer or reach out to the Boulder County District Court.

Sealing a record does not erase it. It removes it from public view. The Boulder County Sheriff and prosecutors keep access for their own purposes.
