Clear Creek County Busted Mugshots

Clear Creek County busted mugshots and arrest records are managed by the Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office in Georgetown, Colorado. The sheriff runs the county jail and handles all bookings for this small mountain county along the I-70 corridor. Arrest records in Clear Creek County fall under Colorado's open records laws, so most booking data is available to the public. This page covers how to search for Clear Creek County mugshots, where to find booking records, and what state tools can help you look up arrest data when local options are limited.

Clear Creek County Sheriff Records

The Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office is the main law enforcement agency in the county. It sits in Georgetown, the county seat. All arrests in Clear Creek County go through the sheriff's booking process. When someone is picked up, the sheriff records their name, charges, and personal details. A booking photo is taken at that time. That mugshot becomes part of the arrest record. The sheriff's office is small compared to larger Front Range agencies, but the same Colorado laws apply to records access here.

Clear Creek County does not have a large standalone jail like the bigger metro counties. The county operates a detention facility, but due to its small size, it sometimes contracts with nearby counties for longer-term inmate housing. Jefferson County to the east is a common option. This means some people arrested in Clear Creek County may end up held in a different county's jail. If you cannot find someone in the Clear Creek County system, check with the Jefferson County jail or other nearby facilities. The booking record still belongs to Clear Creek County even if the person is housed elsewhere.

Note: Clear Creek County may transfer inmates to larger county jails for housing due to limited local capacity.

The first hour of research time is free under the CCJRA. After that, the agency can charge up to $41.37 per hour for staff time spent pulling records. Paper copies cost $0.25 per page. For a small county like Clear Creek, requests are usually straightforward. You can submit your request by phone, mail, or in person at the sheriff's office in Georgetown.

Sealing Clear Creek County Records

Colorado law allows people to seal their arrest records under certain conditions. This applies to Clear Creek County busted mugshots and booking records too. Under C.R.S. 24-72-703, you can petition the court to seal your criminal record if you meet the rules. The filing fee is $224. Courts can waive this fee for people with low income. Once sealed, a Clear Creek County mugshot will not show up in public searches. Only law enforcement and prosecutors keep access.

Some records get sealed on their own. If charges were never filed after an arrest in Clear Creek County, CBI may seal those records automatically after one year for arrests that happened on or after January 1, 2022. Drug convictions may also qualify for automatic sealing under C.R.S. 24-72-710. The waiting period depends on the type of offense and when the case ended. If you think your Clear Creek County arrest record should be sealed, talk to a lawyer or contact the 5th Judicial District Court. Sealing does not erase the record. It just blocks public view.

Note: Record sealing petitions for Clear Creek County go through the 5th Judicial District Court.

Clear Creek County Background Checks
