Have questions about a warrant in Denver County or elsewhere in Colorado? Start with Crimewatch. For details about a court case, we recommend the official Colorado docket search. Not every agency uses Crimewatch, so if nothing turns up, there could still be a warrant.
In Colorado, including Denver County, most defendants facing non-capital charges are eligible for reasonable bail. Petty crimes and traffic offenses typically require no monetary bail. When setting bail, judges look at factors such as:
• 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.
The jail can tell you an inmate’s bail if you call the Denver County Gilliam Youth Services Center at 303-291-8951. You can also look at a sample Colorado bond schedule to see typical amounts, keeping in mind that each judicial district sets its own. The county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond, or can release an offender on personal recognizance.
Although the Denver County Gilliam Youth Services Center is licensed for 35 inmates, it frequently holds more than that, particularly on weekends. City and county jails in Colorado typically turn over at least 35-40% of their population every month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, with roughly 8-9% staying six to twelve months. Inmates who stay longer than a year are usually charged with serious crimes like murder or rape. Those cases take a long time to prepare for trial, so offenders arrested in this county for them stay in one of the Denver County facilities much longer.
Denver County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 83,700 offenders every year.
