Broomfield Busted Mugshots Search

Broomfield busted mugshots and arrest records are kept by the Broomfield Police Department, which acts as the sole law enforcement agency for this combined city and county. Broomfield is unique in Colorado. It is the only place in the state that operates as both a city and a county at the same time, with no separate sheriff's office. If you need to search for booking photos, arrest data, or jail records from Broomfield, this page walks through every tool and process you can use. You will find links to state databases, details on public records laws, and steps to make a direct request for Broomfield arrest records.

Broomfield County Arrest Records

Broomfield became Colorado's 64th county in 2001. It was carved out of parts of four other counties. Now Broomfield functions as a consolidated city and county government. There is no sheriff. The Broomfield Police Department handles all law enforcement for the area. That includes patrols, investigations, arrests, and jail services. When someone gets arrested in Broomfield, the police department does the booking. A mugshot is taken at that point. The charges go on file. All of this creates the official Broomfield arrest record that the public can request.

The Broomfield Detention Center holds people who are arrested locally. It is not a large jail. For longer stays or higher security needs, inmates may get transferred to a neighboring county facility. The booking record stays with Broomfield regardless of where the person ends up. If you want to check on a current inmate, call the Broomfield Police Department. They can tell you who is in custody. For past arrests and booking photos, a written records request is the best path. Put the full name on the request and an arrest date if you have one.

Note: Broomfield is both a city and a county with no separate sheriff's office handling jail services.

Search Broomfield Busted Mugshots

There are a few ways to look for Broomfield busted mugshots. The statewide option is CBI. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation runs a criminal history check at cbirecordscheck.com that costs $6 per search. You type in a name. The system checks the state database. If there is a Broomfield arrest on file, it shows up. This is a name-based check, not a fingerprint match, so it works fast. Results can come back the same day. The CBI database covers all 64 Colorado counties, so it catches arrests from Broomfield and everywhere else in the state.

The CBI records and background checks page explains the types of checks you can run, from quick name searches to full fingerprint-based reviews that cover Broomfield arrests.

Start at this CBI page for statewide criminal history tools that include Broomfield data.

For the most current Broomfield booking data, contact the police department directly. Broomfield sits in the Denver metro area. Arrests get reported to CBI fairly quickly here compared to more remote parts of the state. But a direct request to the department still gives you the freshest records. Call or send a written request. Include as much detail as you can about the person you are searching for.

Broomfield Records Access Laws

Colorado law makes Broomfield arrest records public. The CCJRA is the main law here. It stands for the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act. Under the CCJRA, records of official action must be open to anyone who asks. Arrests count as official action. So do charges, indictments, and sentencing. The Broomfield Police Department has to share these records when you make a proper request. You do not need to explain why you want them. The law is clear on this.

The response deadline is three business days. That comes from CORA, the Colorado Open Records Act. If Broomfield needs more time, they have to tell you why. Fees match state guidelines. The first hour of staff research time is free. After that, charges can go up to $41.37 per hour. Copies cost $0.25 per page. For a single Broomfield arrest record, you probably will not owe anything because the search takes less than an hour. Bigger requests that cover multiple records or a wide date range may cost more. You can also reach out to the Colorado Attorney General's CORA page for guidance on submitting requests.

Note: The first hour of research time for Broomfield records requests is free under Colorado law.

Broomfield Court Records

Broomfield is part of the 17th Judicial District. Criminal cases from Broomfield go through this court system. Court records cover what happens after the arrest. That means charges filed by the DA, plea deals, trial results, and sentencing. These are different from the booking records the police department holds. If you want the whole picture of a Broomfield case, you need both the arrest record from the police and the case record from the court.

You can search Broomfield court cases through the Colorado Judicial Branch records guide. Look up cases by name or case number. The court does not keep mugshots. Those stay with the police. Most adult criminal cases in Broomfield are public. Sealed records and juvenile cases are exceptions. Under C.R.S. 24-72-703, some records may be sealed by court order, which blocks public access but not law enforcement access.

Sealing Broomfield Mugshot Records

People with arrest records in Broomfield can petition to have those records sealed. You file under C.R.S. 24-72-703. The filing fee is $224. A fee waiver is an option for people with limited income. If the case ended in dismissal, acquittal, or a qualifying conviction, you may meet the criteria. Once the court seals the record, your Broomfield mugshot and arrest data will not show up in public searches anymore. Law enforcement still sees it. The general public does not.

Colorado also has automatic sealing. Under C.R.S. 24-72-704, some records get sealed without a petition. If you were arrested in Broomfield after January 1, 2022, and the DA did not file charges within a year, CBI may seal those records on its own. Drug conviction records can also qualify. HB 14-1047 goes after mugshot websites specifically. It makes it illegal to charge a fee to remove a booking photo. Sites must take down Broomfield mugshots for free when charges were dropped or the person was found not guilty. That law has teeth. Violations can cost up to $1,000 per offense.

If your Broomfield busted mugshot is still showing up online and you think you qualify for sealing, start by filing with the 17th Judicial District Court. A lawyer can help. But you can also file on your own.

Broomfield Inmate Tracking Tools

Colorado's VINE system covers Broomfield. It stands for Victim Information and Notification Everyday. You sign up at vinelink.com and get alerts when an inmate's custody status changes. Releases, transfers, escapes. All of these trigger a notification. The service is free. It was built for crime victims, but anyone can use it for tracking someone held on a Broomfield arrest.

The Colorado Department of Corrections runs an offender search at doc.state.co.us/oss. It covers people serving state prison time. If someone from Broomfield was convicted of a felony and sent to a DOC facility, they show up there. This tool does not cover people still in local Broomfield custody or those who finished their sentences already. For current jail status, the Broomfield Police Department is where you call. Between VINE, the DOC search, and local police records, you can follow a Broomfield case from booking to release or prison.

Broomfield Background Checks

CBI handles statewide background checks that include Broomfield arrests. The name check at cbirecordscheck.com costs $6 and pulls results fast. It searches across the entire state. Fingerprint checks are more thorough and cost more. They take around 10 business days. CBI processes both from its office in Lakewood.
