Arapahoe County Detention Facility Inmate Search

Do you need to know whether there’s a warrant for your arrest in Arapahoe County or anywhere in Colorado? Search Crimewatch. For court case details, we use the official Colorado source. Since not all agencies post their warrants on Crimewatch, it’s possible for a warrant to exist even if it doesn’t appear there.

Colorado law makes most criminal defendants in Arapahoe County charged with non-capital offenses eligible for reasonable bail, and petty or traffic offenses typically come with no monetary bail. When setting bail, judges weigh:

• The defendant’s employment and financial resources.
• How long they’ve lived in the area and whether they have family there.
• How serious the charged offense is.
• Any prior criminal record or past offenses.

You can find out an inmate’s bail by calling the Arapahoe County Detention Facility at 720-874-3500. Each judicial district in Colorado sets its own bond schedule; this sample bond schedule shows what typical amounts look like. The county accepts cash, surety bonds, or property bonds, and may release some offenders on personal recognizance.

While the Arapahoe County Detention Facility is licensed for 1400 inmates, it often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Here’s how long inmates typically stay at most city and county jails in Colorado:

• At least 35-40% leave within a month
• Another 25-30% within 90 days
• Another 15-20% within six months
• About 8-9% stay six to twelve months

Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in one of the Arapahoe County facilities much longer.

Arapahoe County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 32,940 offenders every year.

Our collection of jail photos, gathered over the years, is also available.

How to handle bail after an arrest in Arapahoe County

If someone has been booked at Arapahoe County Detention Facility in Centennial, their next steps may include:

1. Release without posting bail, provided they agree to attend court.
2. Detainment until their trial.
3. Posting bail or bond to secure release. For the exact amount, call 720-874-3500.

There are a variety of payment methods available for bail.

• The usual way to post a cash bond is to pay the full amount at the jail bonding window or the clerk of court by cash, cashier's check or money order; many jails also offer card payment through a lobby kiosk or online bond vendor for a fee, and you should bring the inmate's full name and booking number (call 720-874-3500 for the jail).
• Assistance is available from licensed bail bond companies in Arapahoe County.
• Real property bonds are accepted in many courts: an owner may offer land or a home after showing clear title and equity of at least the bond, often double, with a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, and the court that set bail approves it.
