Erie Booking Reports Search
Booking reports for Erie are split between two county sheriff offices. Erie straddles the Weld County and Boulder County line in northern Colorado. The Erie Police Department handles arrests in the city, but the booking report goes to whichever county the arrest occurred in. Most of Erie's newer development sits on the Weld County side, but the older part of town is in Boulder County. You need to know which side of the line the arrest was on to find the right booking report. This page covers both options.
Erie Quick Facts
Which County Holds Erie Booking Reports
Erie has grown a lot in recent years, and that growth has pushed the city further into Weld County. The county line runs roughly through the middle of town. The original downtown area and the western neighborhoods are in Boulder County. The subdivisions to the east and north are in Weld County. When an arrest happens in Erie, the booking goes to the county where the arrest was made. Erie police know which side they are on and transport the person to the right county jail.
The Weld County Jail is in Greeley, about 30 miles northeast of Erie. The Boulder County Jail is in Boulder, about 15 miles west. Either one could hold a booking report from an Erie arrest. If you are not sure which county to check, call the Erie Police Department at 303-441-4444. They log each arrest and can tell you which county processed the booking.
The split between the two counties adds a step to the search process. But once you know which county has the record, the process is the same as any other booking report search in Colorado.
Weld County Booking Reports for Erie
Erie arrests on the Weld County side get booked at the Weld County Jail in Greeley. The Weld County Sheriff posts daily arrest reports at apps.weld.gov/sheriff/DailyArrests. This page lists recent bookings with names, charges, and the arresting agency. Look for entries where the Erie Police Department is listed as the agency. The daily page is free and updates each day with new entries.
The Weld County daily arrest page is a list format. There is no name search built into it. You scroll through the entries for the dates you are interested in. For a more specific search, call the Weld County Sheriff at 970-356-4015. The records division can look up a person by name in the full database and tell you if there is a booking report on file from an Erie arrest. Have the person's name and any other details ready when you call.
Boulder County Booking Reports for Erie
Erie arrests on the Boulder County side go to the Boulder County Jail in Boulder. The Boulder County Sheriff publishes jail listings and booking reports at bouldercounty.gov/safety/jail/listing-and-booking-reports. This is one of the better booking report pages in the state. It shows current inmates and recent bookings with detailed information including charges, bond, and booking date. The data is free to access and does not need a login.
For past booking records from Erie at the Boulder County Jail, contact the sheriff at 303-441-3600. Staff can search their system by name and pull up records going back years. Under C.R.S. 24-72-302, arrest records must include the person's name, the charges, and the date and place of arrest. Both Weld County and Boulder County follow this requirement for all Erie bookings they process.
Statewide Search Tools for Erie
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation offers a statewide criminal history check at cbirecordscheck.com. It costs $6.85 and covers every county in Colorado. For Erie, this is especially useful because it searches both Weld County and Boulder County records at the same time. You do not need to know which county holds the booking report. The CBI pulls data from all sheriff offices in the state. Enter the person's name and date of birth for the best results.
The CBI collects arrest and booking data from every criminal justice agency in Colorado. When someone is booked at either the Weld County or Boulder County jail after an Erie arrest, that data feeds into the CBI central database. A single search can return results from both counties. Under C.R.S. 24-72-301, these criminal justice records are open to the public unless sealed by court order.
The CBI check is a deeper search than the free county tools. It picks up older records and includes case dispositions when they are available. For a one-time fee, it gives you a wider view of someone's arrest history across the entire state.

Erie Records Access Under Colorado Law
Booking reports from Erie arrests are public records. Colorado's Criminal Justice Records Act at C.R.S. 24-72-301 et seq. requires criminal justice agencies to make records of official actions available for inspection. Both the Weld County and Boulder County sheriff offices must respond to records requests within 3 working days. Extensions of up to 7 additional days are allowed for complex requests.
The first hour of staff time to process your request is free. After that, fees can reach $41.37 per hour. Paper copies cost $0.25 per page. You must sign a statement that you will not use the records for direct business solicitation for monetary gain. This is the same rule at every county in Colorado.
Under C.R.S. 24-72-305.5, booking photos are public records in Colorado. It is a crime to post them online and charge for removal. The fine goes up to $1,000. Sealed records from Erie will not appear in any search or be released through a records request. Colorado allows sealing of certain arrest records by court petition or through the CBI's automatic process when charges are never filed.
Note: For Weld County requests, call 970-356-4015. For Boulder County requests, call 303-441-3600.
