Finding Colorado Arrest Warrant Records

An arrest warrant is an official document issued by the state authorities or on behalf of them, which gives the law enforcement officials the power to arrest or detain someone. As per the law of the land, an arrest warrant can be issued stating the precise reason for its issuance and the person who has been charged of committing the unlawful activity. It should also bear the signature of the authority issuing it.

Colorado Arrest Warrant Information

Colorado arrest warrant information can be obtained from the website of the law enforcement agencies in the different counties of Colorado.  For example, information on warrants can be obtained from the office of the Douglas County Sheriff at

Douglas County Sheriff’s Office
Attn: Warrants Section
4000 Justice Way, Suite 2213
Castle Rock, CO 80109

Fax: 303-683-0688
Ph: 303-660-7577

In order to gain information about people who have outstanding arrest warrants against their names, the office of the Douglas County Sheriff has a warrant tip line to locate them. They can be reached at 303-660-7574.

The Warrants Department at the office of the Sheriff of Douglas County is assigned the task of giving out arrest warrants. Warrants are not only issued as a result of a criminal activity, but also if an individual fails to present himself at the courthouse after receiving court summons or fails to comply with the restrictions placed on him by the court. People who are employed in the Warrants Department of the law enforcement agencies have the license from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation http://www.cbi.state.co.us/ which empowers them to take an individual into custody from any place in the state.

In another county of Colorado, Aurora, the warrants are issued by the Aurora Municipal Court. The mailing address of the court is

Aurora Municipal Court
14999 E. Alameda Parkway
Aurora, CO 80012

The existence of an outstanding warrant implies that the person against whom it has been issued can be arrested at any point of time. At times, the warrant can also be cancelled after the payment of a fine along with the warrant fee. In Aurora County you can inquire about the due amount by calling the office of the clerk of the court at 303-739-6445.  If nothing is done following the issue of the warrant, the individual may end up being arrested.

Unavailability of a Colorado Arrest Warrant

In some cases, however, arrest warrants are not available for public access-especially in cases where they have been sealed upon the request of a party to a case. A request for these should be filed in the local district court. Such a sealed record is only available for the reference of the law enforcement officials. Each record that you want to seal demands a separate filing of request. The forms for sealing arrest records are available on the link http://www.courts.state.co.us/Forms/Forms_List.cfm/Form_Type_ID/34 .

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation does not make warrant information available for public scrutiny. If you need to access warrant information, then it is necessary to identify the agency from which the warrant has been issued. It depends on the policy of the agency whether it allows them to release the information or not.
