CBI Criminal History Check

Littleton arrest records feed into the CBI statewide database. The CBI Records Check lets you run a name-based criminal history search for $6.00 online.

The CBI system pulls from fingerprint records submitted by every law enforcement agency in Colorado. If someone was arrested in Littleton and fingerprinted, that arrest will be in the CBI database. The search shows arrest dates, charges, and case dispositions. It covers all 64 counties, so you get a complete Colorado arrest history in one search. Online results are fast. Mail-in requests cost $13.00.

The CBI check shows arrests, not just convictions. An arrest entry does not prove guilt. Some records may show charges that were dropped or cases where the person was acquitted.

Littleton Court Records

Littleton sits in the 18th Judicial District. Criminal cases from Littleton arrests are filed in the Arapahoe County District Court. The courthouse is at 7325 South Potomac Street in Centennial. You can search for cases through the Colorado Courts Records Search online.

Court records tell you what happened after the arrest. Was the person charged? Did they plead guilty? Was the case dismissed? Court records have all of this information for public cases. You can search by name or case number. Most adult criminal records are public in Colorado.

Littleton also has a municipal court that handles city ordinance violations and some misdemeanor cases. Municipal court records are separate from the district court system. Contact the Littleton Municipal Court at (303) 795-3800 for records of cases handled at the local level.

Access Laws for Littleton Records

The Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act governs Littleton arrest records. Records of official action are public. This means arrests, bookings, and charges must be released when someone asks for them. The Littleton Police Department and the Arapahoe County Sheriff both follow this law.

A person arrested in Littleton may petition to seal their arrest record if the case was dismissed, they were acquitted, or they completed a drug diversion program. Sealed records are removed from public databases. They no longer show up in CBI searches or court record lookups. The CBI fees and forms page has information on how sealing affects the statewide database.

VINE is useful when you need real-time updates. The system notifies you as soon as the jail logs a change in custody status. This includes releases, transfers, and court appearances. It works for anyone booked into the Arapahoe County system, whether they were arrested in Littleton, Centennial, or any other city in the county.
