Pueblo County Booking Reports

Pueblo County booking reports are kept by the sheriff's office at the Pueblo County Detention Center on Court Street. The county has about 170,000 residents and sits in southern Colorado along the Arkansas River. Booking records here are public, and the sheriff provides an online inmate lookup tool so you can search for people currently in custody. This page covers how to use that tool, how to request older records, and what statewide systems can help you find booking data tied to Pueblo County arrests.

Pueblo County Sheriff and Detention

The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office operates the detention center where all local bookings take place. The facility is at 909 Court Street in Pueblo, CO 81003. You can reach the detention center by phone at 719-583-6135. The sheriff's main office number is 719-583-6125. When someone is arrested in Pueblo County, they get taken to this facility. The intake process starts right away.

During intake, staff handle fingerprinting, take a booking photo, and run an initial classification on the person. Classification helps the jail figure out where to house someone based on the charges and other risk factors. All of this gets logged into the booking report. That report becomes part of the public record. The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office website at county.pueblo.org/sheriffs-office has links to detention services and other resources.

The sheriff's page gives a solid overview of what the detention center does and how to reach different divisions within the office.

If you need to reach the records office, call the main sheriff number at 719-583-6125 and ask to be sent to records. They handle requests for copies of booking reports, arrest logs, and related documents in Pueblo County.

Search Pueblo County Booking Reports Online

The Pueblo County Sheriff has an online inmate lookup tool at pueblosheriff.com/341/Inmate-Lookup. This tool shows people who are in custody at the Pueblo County Detention Center right now. You can search by name. The system is free and does not need a login. Results show booking details and charges.

The results list current inmates only. Once someone bonds out or gets released, they drop off the lookup tool. For records on people who are no longer in custody, you will need to contact the sheriff's office directly. Call 719-583-6125 or visit 909 Court Street in person. Under C.R.S. 24-72-302, booking records in Colorado include the person's name, date of birth, sex, charges, arresting agency, and the date and place of the arrest. Pueblo County booking reports follow this same format.

Note: The online tool only reflects current jail population. Past booking data requires a records request to the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office.

Pueblo County Booking Center Process

The Jail Reception and Booking Center at the Pueblo County Detention Center is where all new inmates get processed. The booking center handles everything from the moment a person arrives at the jail. This includes fingerprinting, taking the booking photo, and recording all personal and case info into the system. Staff also do an initial classification to decide which housing unit fits the person best.

You can read more about what the booking center does on the Pueblo County booking center page.

The booking center also manages inmate visitation systems and cash account deposits. Family members can set up visits or add funds to an inmate's account through the jail. These services are separate from the booking report itself, but they run through the same facility. If you have questions about visiting someone at the Pueblo County Detention Center, call 719-583-6135 for the latest rules and hours.

Statewide Search Tools for Pueblo County

If the Pueblo County inmate lookup does not have what you need, Colorado offers a few statewide tools. The VINE system tracks inmates across most Colorado county jails. It is free. You can search for someone by name and sign up for alerts if their custody status changes. VINE will notify you by phone, email, or text when someone gets released, transferred, or has any other status change. The toll-free VINE number is 1-888-263-8463.

The CBI Internet Criminal History Check pulls arrest data from all counties in Colorado. It costs $6.00 per search. This tool is good when you want a full picture of someone's arrest history, not just their current booking in Pueblo County. The CDOC Offender Search System covers state prison inmates. County jail bookings and state prison records are two different things. Use CDOC only if you think the person may be in state prison rather than the Pueblo County jail.

Request Pueblo County Booking Records

Colorado's Criminal Justice Records Act makes booking reports public. You have the right to inspect them. Under C.R.S. 24-72-301 et seq., records of official actions such as arrests must be open for inspection by anyone. To get copies of booking reports from Pueblo County, contact the sheriff's office records division. You can call 719-583-6125 or go to 909 Court Street in Pueblo.

The agency has 3 working days to respond to a records request. They can take up to 7 more days if the request is large or complex. The first hour of staff time to search for and pull records is free. After that first hour, the county can charge up to $41.37 per hour. Copies cost $0.25 per page. You will also need to sign a statement that says you will not use the records for direct solicitation of business for monetary gain. This is required by state law for all criminal justice records in Colorado, not just Pueblo County.

Note: If your request covers many bookings or a wide date range, expect it to take closer to the full 10-day window.

Booking Photos and Record Sealing

Booking photos from the Pueblo County Detention Center are public records. But Colorado law restricts how they can be used. Under C.R.S. 24-72-305.5, no one can post a booking photo online and then demand a fee to remove it. That practice is a misdemeanor in Colorado, with fines up to $1,000.

Colorado also allows people to seal their arrest records in certain cases. If a court grants a sealing petition, the booking record will not show up in searches. The CBI seals some records automatically when no charges are filed within one year after the arrest. Sealed records in Pueblo County will not appear in the online inmate lookup, in a CBI check, or through a standard records request. Only a court order can unseal them once they are sealed.
