Grand County Detention Facility Inmate Search
Need to know if there’s a warrant for you in Grand County or elsewhere in Colorado? Start your search at Crimewatch. For court case details involving you or someone you know, we rely on the official Colorado docket search. Since not all agencies post their warrants on Crimewatch, it’s possible for a warrant to exist even if it doesn’t appear there.
In Grand County and throughout Colorado, most defendants charged with non-capital crimes are eligible for reasonable bail, and petty or traffic offenses usually don’t require monetary bail. When setting bail, judges consider factors such as:
• The defendant’s finances and job.
• Family ties and length of time living in the area.
• The nature and severity of the offense.
• Prior criminal record.
To check an inmate’s bail at the Grand County Detention Facility, call 970-725-3343. You can also review a sample Colorado bond schedule for typical amounts; judicial districts each publish their own. The county accepts payment in cash, by surety bond, or by property bond, and personal recognizance release is also possible.
The Grand County Detention Facility is licensed for 50 inmates, but it is often forced to make room for more, especially on weekends. Of the inmates at most city and county jails in Colorado, at least 35-40% turn over monthly, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, while about 8-9% stay incarcerated six to twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in one of the Grand County facilities much longer.
Grand County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 2,400 offenders every year.
