Search Firestone Arrest Records

Arrest records in Firestone, Colorado are kept by the Weld County Sheriff's Office. Firestone is a growing town along the Interstate 25 corridor in northern Colorado. The Firestone Police Department handles law enforcement in town, but all arrest bookings go to the Weld County jail in Greeley. Firestone arrest records can be searched through the county sheriff, the CBI statewide criminal history database, and the Colorado courts system. This page covers each of those methods and what to expect when you request records.

Weld County Sheriff and Firestone Bookings

The Weld County Sheriff's Office runs the county jail at 2110 O Street, Greeley, CO 80631. When Firestone police arrest someone, the person is transported to this facility for booking. The sheriff logs all arrest details, including the charges, arresting agency, bond amount, and court date information.

Weld County has an online inmate search tool. You can use it to find people currently in the jail. Search by name and the results will show booking data and charges. This tool only shows current inmates. Once someone bonds out or is released, they drop off the list. For historical Firestone arrest records, you need to go through the sheriff's records unit at (970) 400-2802.

Weld County is one of the largest counties in Colorado by land area. The sheriff processes bookings from Firestone, Greeley, Windsor, Evans, and many smaller communities. Firestone arrest records are mixed in with the rest of the county's data in the sheriff's system. Knowing the person's name and approximate arrest date helps narrow things down.

Firestone Police Department

The Firestone Police Department is the primary law enforcement agency for the town. The department handles patrol, traffic, and criminal investigations within Firestone. Officers respond to calls and make arrests, then transport people to the Weld County jail for booking.

You can request arrest reports and incident reports directly from Firestone PD. The CCJRA requires agencies to release records of official action, which includes arrests. The department may require a written request. Call the Firestone Police for information on fees and processing times. As a smaller department, they may have faster turnaround than larger agencies.

Firestone has grown rapidly in recent years, and the police department has expanded to keep pace. The town sits between the growing communities of Frederick and Dacono, creating a busy corridor for local law enforcement. Joint operations between Firestone PD and neighboring agencies are common, particularly for traffic enforcement on Interstate 25.

CBI Statewide Search

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation offers a quick way to check for Firestone arrest records. The CBI Records Check website lets you run a statewide criminal history search for $6.00 per name. You need the person's full legal name and date of birth. Results come back instantly and cover arrests from all 64 Colorado counties.

The CBI database is built on fingerprint records. When someone is booked at the Weld County jail after a Firestone arrest, their fingerprints go into the system. That record stays in the CBI database unless it gets sealed by a court or through the automatic sealing process. The CBI also offers a mail-in search for $13.00 with 3 to 5 business day turnaround.

CCJRA and Public Access

Colorado law favors public access to arrest records. The CCJRA at C.R.S. 24-72-301 through 24-72-309 defines records of official action and says they must be open for inspection. An arrest, a charge, and a disposition are all official actions. Any person can request to see these records. No reason is needed.

Agencies cannot refuse to release records of official action unless they have been sealed. The Colorado Supreme Court has made this clear. Redactions should be minimal, limited to things like juvenile names and sex assault victim identities. The rest of the record must be provided.

Record sealing is a factor to keep in mind. Since January 2022, the CBI automatically seals arrest records when charges are never filed within a year. Older records can be sealed by petition. If you search for a Firestone arrest and find nothing, the record may have been sealed rather than never existing.

Court Records for Firestone Cases

Firestone falls in the 19th Judicial District. Criminal cases from Firestone arrests are filed at the Weld County courthouse in Greeley. You can search court records through the Colorado Courts records search tool online.

Court records tell you what happened after someone was arrested. You can see the charges, whether the person entered a plea, and the final outcome. This information goes beyond what an arrest record shows. Not all case types appear online. Sealed and restricted cases are excluded from the public search tool. Call the Weld County court clerk at (970) 475-2400 for help with records you cannot find online.

VINE Custody Alerts

VINE does not give you arrest records. It only tells you about custody changes. For the actual arrest data, use the CBI search or contact the Weld County Sheriff's records unit.
