It handles felony advisements, bond matters, and preliminary hearings. Felony prosecutions are handled by Denver District Court.

Can I search Denver County Court criminal cases by name alone?

The public portal does not offer general name searching for case documents; future court-date searches require additional identifying information.

Does the jail lookup show someone's complete criminal record?

Where do I request a Denver police report?

Use the Denver Police Department records request form or an applicable CCJRA request to DPD.

No. CBI's public search is Colorado-only and name-based.

Generally no in public court, CBI, and portal searches. Access restrictions vary by record type.

Denver County court and felony records

Denver is a consolidated city-county served by Colorado's Second Judicial District. Denver District Court handles felony criminal cases. Use the Denver District Court docket search and the Clerk's records request process for complete documents.

Municipal courts and other local systems

Denver County Court handles state misdemeanors and Denver municipal ordinance cases, and may handle felony advisements, bond setting, and preliminary hearings. Use the Denver County Court Public Portal; general case-document name searching is limited and sealed or restricted records may be unavailable.

Denver County custody and jail information

Use the Denver Sheriff Department Inmate Search for current custody at Denver facilities. It is a custody locator, not a criminal-history or court-record database, and status can change quickly.

Police records and public-record requests

For Denver Police records, use the Denver Police Department Record Request form. DPD records cover police reports, arrest records, and related material; Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act requests and restrictions apply. Police records are not court dispositions.

Colorado state-level record sources

The official statewide source is the Colorado Bureau of Investigation Internet Criminal History Check. CBI provides Colorado-only, name-based criminal-history searches and may exclude sealed, juvenile, or other restricted records. A report with unknown disposition should be verified with the court.

Local cities and separate court systems

Denver itself is the consolidated city-county and county-equivalent jurisdiction. Keep Denver District Court, Denver County Court, Denver Sheriff, and Denver Police sources distinct within the page.
