Find Loveland Booking Reports

Loveland booking reports are public records created when local law enforcement arrests someone and books them at the Larimer County Jail. Loveland is in Larimer County in northern Colorado, with a population of about 76,000. The Loveland Police Department patrols the city and handles arrests, but the Larimer County Sheriff's Office takes over once a person reaches the jail for booking. All booking data from Loveland arrests is held by the county sheriff. This page covers how to find those records, what online tools exist, and how to submit a records request for Loveland booking information.

Loveland Police and Booking Process

The Loveland Police Department handles law enforcement in the city. After an arrest, the suspect goes to the Larimer County Detention Center in Fort Collins. That facility is at 2405 Midpoint Drive. The Larimer County Sheriff's Office runs the jail and performs all bookings. Staff take fingerprints, a booking photo, and enter the charges into their system. Once the booking is complete, the report is on file with the sheriff's office. Loveland does not have its own jail, so every booking from a Loveland arrest goes through the county facility in Fort Collins.

The drive from Loveland to the detention center in Fort Collins is about 15 miles north on I-25. This means someone arrested in Loveland gets transported up to Fort Collins for booking. The booking report stays with the Larimer County Sheriff's Office from that point on. If you need the arrest report or incident report from the Loveland Police Department, that is a separate request from the booking record. The police department handles its own reports, while the county holds the booking data.

Note: Loveland PD incident reports and Larimer County booking reports are separate documents held by different agencies.

Search Loveland Booking Reports Online

The Larimer County Sheriff's Office posts booking reports online. You can find them at larimer.gov/sheriff/jail/booking-report. This page shows recent bookings at the Larimer County Detention Center. If someone was arrested in Loveland, they should show up on this page once they have been processed at the jail. The listing includes the person's name, charges, booking date, and sometimes the arresting agency. It updates as new bookings come in throughout the day.

The booking report page is free to use and does not require any kind of account. You can browse through the recent entries or look for a specific name. The tool works best for recent bookings. If you need to find a booking from weeks or months back, the online page probably will not have it. For older Loveland booking records, contact the Larimer County Sheriff's Office at their main number. They can search their database for historical records that are no longer on the public website.

The CBI also has a records page at cbi.colorado.gov with information about background checks and criminal history searches in Colorado. This page explains the different types of searches available and how to submit requests through the CBI.

Statewide Search Tools

Two statewide tools can help you search beyond the Larimer County system. The CBI criminal history check at cbirecordscheck.com costs $6.00 per search and pulls arrest data from all Colorado counties. If someone arrested in Loveland also has records elsewhere in the state, the CBI check will show them. You need the person's full name and date of birth for the search. The CBI database is the most complete statewide source for criminal history in Colorado.

The VINE system at vinelink.com is the other tool. It tracks inmate custody status for free. Register and search by name. Select Colorado, then look for the person. VINE will alert you by phone, email, or text when the person's status changes at the Larimer County Detention Center. This covers releases, transfers, and court appearances. The toll-free number is 1-888-263-8463. Anyone can use VINE, not just crime victims.

Colorado Law on Booking Records

Booking reports from Loveland arrests are public records under Colorado law. The Criminal Justice Records Act at C.R.S. 24-72-301 et seq. governs access to these records. Under C.R.S. 24-72-302, arrest records must include the name of the person, the arresting agency, date and place of arrest, and charges filed. The Larimer County Sheriff's Office must respond to records requests within 3 working days. Extensions of up to 7 additional days are allowed for large requests.

The first hour of staff time for finding and retrieving records is free under Colorado law. After that, the agency can charge for staff time and copies. Paper copies typically cost $0.25 per page. To submit a request for Loveland booking records, contact the Larimer County Sheriff's Office. You can reach them by phone, mail, or in person at their Fort Collins location. Under C.R.S. 24-72-305.5, booking photos from Loveland arrests are public, but posting them online and charging for removal is illegal.

What Loveland Booking Reports Include

A booking report from a Loveland arrest contains several key pieces of information. It lists the person's full name, date of birth, physical description, and sometimes aliases. The charges at the time of booking are recorded, along with the arresting agency. For Loveland arrests, the arresting agency is usually the Loveland Police Department. The report also notes the date and time of booking, the facility where the person was booked, and any bond or bail information.

Some booking reports also include the person's address and occupation. The level of detail varies. The booking photo is part of the record as well. All of this becomes a public document once the booking is entered into the system. If charges are later dropped or the person is found not guilty, the booking report still exists unless a court orders it sealed. Colorado law allows sealing of certain criminal records through a petition process. Sealed Loveland booking records will not appear in any public search.

Note: A booking report is not proof of guilt. It only shows that someone was arrested and booked at the jail.
