Louisville Arrest Records Lookup

Arrest records in Louisville, Colorado are processed through Boulder County. Louisville is a small city tucked between Boulder and the Denver metro area, and its arrest records follow the same system used across Boulder County. The Louisville Police Department makes arrests within city limits, but bookings happen at the Boulder County jail. You can access Louisville arrest records through the county sheriff, the CBI statewide database, or by making a direct records request. Here is how each method works.

Boulder County Sheriff and Louisville Bookings

People arrested in Louisville are taken to the Boulder County jail at 3200 Airport Road, Boulder, CO 80301. The Boulder County Sheriff's Office operates this facility and keeps all booking records. Each booking entry includes the arrest date, charges, arresting agency, and bond amount. The sheriff's office phone for jail information is (303) 441-4600.

Boulder County posts an inmate roster online. You can search by name to find current inmates. The results show basic booking information and charges. This tool only shows people who are in the jail right now. If someone has been released, they will not appear in the roster. For past booking records from Louisville, contact the sheriff's records division.

Louisville falls in the 20th Judicial District. Cases from Louisville arrests are heard at the Boulder County Combined Courts at 1777 6th Street, Boulder, CO 80302. The court handles everything from first appearances and bond hearings to trials and sentencing for Louisville cases.

Louisville Police Department

The Louisville Police Department is at 950 Via Appia Way, Louisville, CO 80027. This department handles all law enforcement for the city. Officers patrol the city, take reports, and make arrests. When they arrest someone, the person is transported to the Boulder County jail.

You can request police reports and arrest records from Louisville PD. Call (303) 441-4444 to reach the department. Records of official action like arrests are public under the CCJRA. The department may charge copying fees and require a written request. Response times vary, but most requests are handled within a few business days.

Louisville PD also participates in the Boulder County regional communications center. This means dispatch records and some shared databases cover multiple agencies in the county. If you need records from a joint operation between Louisville PD and the Boulder County Sheriff, either agency should be able to point you in the right direction.

CBI Statewide Search

The quickest way to search Louisville arrest records is through the CBI Internet Criminal History Check. Go to the CBI Records Check website. The fee is $6.00 per search. Enter the person's exact name and date of birth. Results show up right away. The database includes arrests from all 64 Colorado counties, so any Louisville arrest that involved fingerprinting at the Boulder County jail will be in the system.

For a mail-based search, the CBI charges $13.00. Send your request with a check payable to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation to 690 Kipling Street, Suite 4000, Lakewood, CO 80215. It takes 3 to 5 business days to get results back. The CBI only includes fingerprint-based arrest records. Arrests that did not involve fingerprinting, which are rare for jailable offenses, will not appear.

Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act

The CCJRA is the state law that controls how arrest records work in Louisville and the rest of Colorado. You can find it at C.R.S. 24-72-301 through 24-72-309. The law says that records of official action must be open for inspection by any person. You do not need to state a reason. Just ask, and the agency holding the records must provide them.

There are some exceptions. Juvenile arrest records stay confidential under C.R.S. 19-1-301, unless the juvenile was charged as an adult. Sex assault victim information gets redacted. Sealed records are also off-limits. Colorado now automatically seals arrest records when no charges are filed within one year, under C.R.S. 24-72-704. This applies to arrests after January 1, 2022.

If you want to seal your own Louisville arrest record, you can petition the court under C.R.S. 24-72-706. Filing fees range from $65 to $224. Low-income applicants may qualify for a fee waiver using court forms JDF 205 and JDF 206.

Court Records for Louisville Cases

Court records from Louisville arrests are available through the Colorado Courts records search online tool. Enter a name or case number to find details about cases in the 20th Judicial District. You can see charges, hearing dates, and outcomes.

Not all records show up online. Sealed cases and certain restricted proceedings are excluded from the public search. For those, contact the Boulder County clerk of court at (303) 441-3750. Court records are useful because they show what happened after an arrest. An arrest record by itself only tells you someone was booked. The court record shows whether charges were filed and what the result was.

Victim Notification and Sex Offender Data

If someone was arrested in Louisville, you can track their custody status through Colorado VINE. This free service sends alerts when an inmate is released or transferred from the Boulder County jail. Register online or call 1-888-263-8463. The system works every day, all day.

For sex offender information, search the Colorado Sex Offender Registry. The CBI updates this database hourly. It lists felony sex offenders and those who have failed to register. Contact Louisville PD or the Boulder County Sheriff for a more complete local list.
