Boulder County Jail Inmate Search

To find out whether you have a warrant in Boulder County or anywhere in Colorado, begin with Crimewatch. For court case details involving you, a friend, or a relative, the official Colorado source is the most reliable option. Note that Crimewatch only shows warrants that participating agencies choose to post, so it may not list every active warrant.

In Colorado, including Boulder County, the law makes reasonable bail available to most defendants facing non-capital charges, and those charged with petty or traffic offenses usually have no monetary bail. Judges set bail after reviewing factors like:

• The defendant’s financial situation and whether they are employed.
• Whether they’ve lived in the area for a while or have family nearby.
• The severity of the offense they are charged with.
• Their prior criminal record and past offenses.

To get an inmate’s bail, call the Boulder County Jail at 303-441-4650. If you know what they were arrested for, a sample Colorado bond schedule can help you estimate the amount, since each judicial district publishes its own. Cash, surety bonds, and property bonds are accepted, and personal recognizance release is an option.

Here’s what to know about the Boulder County Jail’s population:

• Licensed capacity: 536 inmates, though the jail often has to make room for more, especially on weekends
• Typical monthly turnover at city and county jails: at least 35-40%
• Additional turnover every 90 days: 25-30%
• Additional turnover every six months: 15-20%
• Held six to twelve months: about 8-9%

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 Boulder County facilities much longer.

Every year, Boulder County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 12,460 offenders.
