Weld County Sheriff and Windsor Bookings

The Weld County Sheriff's Office operates the county jail where Windsor arrest bookings are processed. The jail is located at 2110 O Street in Greeley, CO 80631. When Windsor police make an arrest, the person is transported to this facility. The sheriff logs all booking details, including charges, arrest date, arresting agency, and bond amount.

Weld County maintains an online inmate roster. You can search it by name to see who is currently in the jail. The roster shows booking information and current charges. It does not include people who have already been released. For older Windsor arrest records, you need to contact the Weld County Sheriff's records division at (970) 400-2802.

The Weld County jail is one of the larger facilities in northern Colorado. It processes thousands of bookings each year from Windsor, Greeley, Fort Collins overflow, and other towns across the county. The sheriff's website has information on visitation, inmate accounts, and how to post bond for someone arrested in Windsor.

Windsor Police Department

The Windsor Police Department is at 200 N. 11th Street, Windsor, CO 80550. This is the primary law enforcement agency for the town. Officers handle calls for service, traffic stops, and criminal investigations within Windsor. The department has grown in recent years along with the town's population.

You can request arrest reports from the Windsor Police Department. The Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act (CCJRA) requires agencies to release records of official action, which includes arrests. Call the Windsor Police at (970) 674-6400 to ask about a specific arrest report or records request. You may need to fill out a written request form. Fees for copies vary, but the first hour of staff time is free under the Colorado Open Records Act.

Windsor Police also work with the Weld County Drug Task Force and the Northern Colorado regional crime teams. Arrests tied to these joint operations may have records split between agencies. If you cannot find what you need from Windsor PD, check with the Weld County Sheriff as well.

Statewide CBI Records Check

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation offers a statewide criminal history search that includes any arrest from Windsor. The CBI Records Check costs $6.00 per name and gives instant results. You need the person's full legal name and date of birth to run a search. The system pulls from a fingerprint-based database covering all 64 Colorado counties.

If you prefer mail, the CBI charges $13.00 for a name-based criminal history check. Send your request to the CBI at 690 Kipling Street, Suite 4000, Lakewood, CO 80215. Include a check payable to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. Mail requests take 3 to 5 business days. The CBI database does not include arrests where the person was not fingerprinted. Most Windsor arrest bookings involve fingerprinting at the Weld County jail, so they do appear in the CBI system.

Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act

The CCJRA governs how arrest records are released in Windsor and across Colorado. The law is at C.R.S. 24-72-301 through 24-72-309. Under this law, records of official action must be open for public inspection. An arrest qualifies as official action. So does a charge, an indictment, and a sentencing decision.

No agency can refuse to show you a record of official action unless it has been sealed by a court. The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that the CCJRA does not give agencies discretion to withhold these records. They must be released in their entirety, with limited exceptions for things like juvenile names and sex assault victims.

Sealed records are a growing factor. Since January 1, 2022, the CBI automatically seals arrest records when no charges are filed within one year. This means some Windsor arrests may no longer appear in public searches if the case was dropped or never prosecuted. If you believe a record was sealed incorrectly, you can challenge that through the courts.

Court Records from Windsor Cases

Windsor falls in the 19th Judicial District. Criminal cases from Windsor arrests are filed at the Weld County courthouse in Greeley. You can search for court records through the Colorado Courts records search tool. Enter a name or case number to find case details, hearing dates, and disposition information.

Court records give more context than a booking record alone. You can see whether charges were filed, what the person pleaded, and what the outcome was. Not every case type is available online, and some records may be sealed or restricted. For records you cannot find online, call the Weld County Combined Courts at (970) 475-2400.

Custody Alerts and VINE

Colorado VINE lets you track the custody status of someone arrested in Windsor. Sign up at VINELink or call 1-888-263-8463. The service is free. You get alerts by phone, email, or text when an inmate is released, transferred, or escapes from the Weld County jail. VINE runs around the clock, every day of the year.

This tool is helpful if you need to know when someone leaves custody. It does not provide arrest records themselves. For actual records, use the CBI search or the Weld County Sheriff's records unit.
