Search Fremont County Booking Reports

Fremont County booking reports are managed by the sheriff's office in Canon City. This south-central Colorado county is well known for its cluster of state and federal prisons, but the county itself handles local bookings through the sheriff's detention facility. The Fremont County Sheriff's Office processes all local arrests and maintains booking records for anyone brought into the county jail. If you need to find booking data from Fremont County, the sheriff's office is the place to start. There is no public online inmate search for the county jail, so you will need to call or visit the office. Statewide tools from CBI and VINE can also help you search.

Fremont County Sheriff Booking Data

The Fremont County Sheriff's Office handles all local bookings at the county detention center. The office is at 100 Justice Center Road in Canon City. Call 719-276-5555 to reach the sheriff's office. When someone is arrested anywhere in Fremont County by any local agency, the booking goes through this facility. Deputies record the charges, take a booking photo, and log the person's information. That booking report then becomes a public record under Colorado law.

Fremont County is home to several state prisons, including the Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility and others run by the Colorado Department of Corrections. Those are state facilities and separate from the county jail. If you are looking for someone in a state prison, use the CDOC offender search instead. The county jail is where local arrests are booked. It is a much smaller operation than the state prison system. People sometimes confuse the two because of how many prisons are in the Canon City area. The county booking report is different from a state prison record.

The Fremont County Sheriff's Office website has basic contact information and details on the detention center. Staff can answer questions about local bookings over the phone during business hours.

Note: State prison records are separate from county booking reports. Contact CDOC for state inmates.

How to Get Fremont County Booking Reports

Without an online search tool, getting booking information from Fremont County means reaching the sheriff's office directly. You have a few options. The quickest is a phone call to 719-276-5555. Tell the staff you need booking information and provide the person's name and approximate date of arrest. They can usually look it up while you wait on the phone. For a more detailed record, you can make a formal written request under Colorado's Criminal Justice Records Act.

The CCJRA, starting at C.R.S. § 24-72-301, gives you the right to inspect booking reports held by any criminal justice agency in Colorado. The Fremont County Sheriff's Office must respond to your request within 3 business days. If the request is large or complicated, they can extend that by up to 7 more days. Most single-record requests are straightforward and get handled fast. Walk-in requests during business hours are also fine. Bring a valid ID and ask for the records unit.

Under C.R.S. § 24-72-302, arrest records must show the name of the person, the charges, the arresting agency, and the date and place of the arrest. These details are all part of a Fremont County booking report.

The CBI criminal history check is another way to find booking data tied to Fremont County. It costs $6.85 per name search and covers the entire state. CBI gets its data from all law enforcement agencies in Colorado. A new booking in Fremont County may take a few days to show up in the CBI system. But once it is there, the record includes charges, case outcomes, and other details. This is especially useful if you want records from a booking that happened months or years ago.

Fremont County Record Request Fees

Colorado law sets the fee limits for records requests. The first hour of staff time is free. After that, agencies can charge up to $41.37 per hour for research and retrieval. Paper copies are $0.25 per page. These fees apply across the state, so the Fremont County Sheriff's Office follows the same schedule as every other county. A simple request for one booking report will almost always fall within the free first hour. Larger requests that involve pulling many records or searching through older archives may incur some cost.

You must also sign a statement that you will not use the records for direct business solicitation for money. This is required by the CCJRA and applies to all criminal justice records requests in Colorado, not just Fremont County.

Note: Always ask for a cost estimate before authorizing any work that might go past the free hour.

Booking Photos and Sealed Records

Booking photos from the Fremont County jail are public. You can request them the same way you request any other booking record. But Colorado law puts limits on what you can do with them. Under C.R.S. § 24-72-305.5, it is illegal to post a booking photo online and then demand payment for its removal. Violating this law is a misdemeanor with fines up to $1,000.

Some records get sealed. Colorado allows courts to seal arrest records in certain situations, such as when charges are dropped or the person is found not guilty. The CBI also has automatic sealing rules for cases where no charges are filed within a set period. If a Fremont County booking record has been sealed, it will not appear in any search and the sheriff's office cannot release it. The sealing order covers both the booking data and the booking photo. If you believe a record should be available but cannot find it, the case may have been sealed by a court.
