Logan County Sheriff Booking Data

The Logan County Sheriff's Office is based in Sterling and serves as the primary booking agency for the county. Call them at 970-522-2578 for questions about booking reports or jail records. The sheriff's office runs the Logan County Detention Center, where all people arrested in the county are brought for processing. During booking, staff record the person's information, take fingerprints and a photo, and log the charges. That information makes up the booking report.

Sterling also has its own police department. When Sterling PD makes an arrest, the person still goes to the Logan County jail. The booking report is created and held by the sheriff's office. This means all booking records for the county are in one place, regardless of which agency made the arrest. If you need a report from a Sterling police arrest, you still go through the Logan County Sheriff.

Logan County does not currently have a public-facing online inmate lookup. To check if someone is in custody, you need to phone the jail directly. For general booking record questions, use the main sheriff's line at 970-522-2578.

Note: Sterling is the largest town in the county, so most bookings involve arrests that happen in or near Sterling.

Colorado Statewide Record Tools

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation offers a criminal history check at cbirecordscheck.com that covers all 64 counties. It costs $6.85 per name search. You enter the person's name and date of birth and the system searches the statewide database. Results can include arrest records from Logan County as well as any other county in Colorado. This is a good option when you want to see if someone has been booked anywhere in the state, not just in Logan County.

For real-time custody checks, VINE is free. The system lets you search by inmate name and see their current status in the Logan County jail or any other Colorado facility. You can also register for notifications. If the person you are tracking gets released, transferred, or has a status change, VINE sends you an alert by phone, email, or text. This saves you from having to call the jail over and over to check.

Booking Records Under Colorado Law

Colorado's Criminal Justice Records Act at C.R.S. § 24-72-301 makes booking reports available to the public. The law says that records of official actions must be open for inspection. An arrest and booking is an official action. Under § 24-72-302, the minimum that must be in an arrest record is the name of the person, the charges, and the agency that arrested them. The Logan County Sheriff's Office follows these requirements like every other law enforcement agency in the state.

You have the right to inspect these records in person or request copies. The agency gets 3 business days to respond. They can extend that by up to 7 days for bigger requests. The first hour of staff time is free. After that, they can charge up to $41.37 per hour for research and retrieval. Copies cost $0.25 per page. For a simple single-person booking report request in Logan County, the cost is usually zero or very low since it takes little time to pull one record.

Logan County Mugshot Rules

Booking photos from Logan County are public records. You can request them from the sheriff's office. Colorado law at § 24-72-305.5 makes it illegal to post a booking photo on a website and then charge money to take it down. This is a class 3 misdemeanor with fines up to $1,000. The law protects people from mugshot exploitation sites. It does not prevent you from getting a copy of a booking photo through a legitimate records request to the Logan County Sheriff.

When you request a booking photo, it is treated the same as any other record. Same fees. Same timeline. Include the request for the photo along with your request for the booking report so it all comes back at once.

Note: Sealed or expunged records will not include photos or any other booking data.
