Yuma County Booking Report Access

Yuma County booking reports are filed with the sheriff's office in Wray, a small town on Colorado's far eastern border near Kansas and Nebraska. The county is rural and quiet, with a low crime rate and infrequent bookings at the county jail. Still, every booking that does happen creates a public record. You can get this data from the sheriff's office by phone or in writing. This page covers the local process as well as statewide databases you can use to search for Yuma County arrest records.

Yuma County Sheriff Booking Info

Call the Yuma County Sheriff's Office at 970-332-4805. The office is at 310 Birch Street, Wray, CO 80758. The sheriff runs the county jail and handles all booking operations. When someone is arrested in Yuma County, they come here for processing. Staff take fingerprints, a photo, and log the charges. That creates the booking report.

There is no online inmate search for Yuma County. Phone is the best way to check on someone in custody. During business hours, staff can confirm whether a person is in the jail and tell you the charges. If you need records from a past booking, you will want to make a formal request. Give them as much detail as you can, like a name, date of birth, or approximate arrest date.

Yuma County shares the 13th Judicial District with several other eastern plains counties. Court cases from Yuma County arrests are handled through this district. The booking report itself stays with the sheriff's office, not the court system. If you need court records from a case that started with a Yuma County booking, those go through the 13th Judicial District Court.

Yuma County Records Search Tools

Colorado's state tools make it possible to search for Yuma County booking data from anywhere. The CBI Internet Criminal History Check is the main option. Pay $6.00, enter a name and date of birth, and the system checks the statewide database. Any Yuma County arrests that were reported to CBI will show in the results.

Use VINE to track someone currently held at the Yuma County jail. VINE is free. Select Colorado, search by name, and you can see their custody status. Sign up for alerts if you want to know when the person is released or transferred. The toll-free VINE line is 1-888-263-8463.

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation maintains the statewide arrest database that all sheriff's offices report into.

Between CBI and VINE, you get both historical records and current custody status without needing to call the local office.

Note: The CBI database pulls from reports submitted by local agencies, so a very recent Yuma County arrest may take a short while to appear.

Request Yuma County Booking Reports

The CCJRA gives you the right to see booking reports. Under C.R.S. § 24-72-301, arrest records are records of official actions and must be open to inspection. The Yuma County Sheriff has 3 working days to respond. An extension of 7 additional days is possible for bigger requests.

Fees work the same across Colorado. The first hour of retrieval is free. After that first hour, the county can charge up to $41.37 per hour for staff time. Copies cost $0.25 per page. You sign a form saying you will not use the data for business solicitation for monetary gain.

Under C.R.S. § 24-72-302, the arrest record must include the person's name, who arrested them, the date and place, and the charges. A Yuma County booking report has all of this. Mail requests to 310 Birch Street, Wray, CO 80758.

Yuma County Booking Photo Rules

Mugshots taken at the Yuma County jail are public. You can ask for copies. But C.R.S. § 24-72-305.5 makes it illegal to post a booking photo on a website and charge for its removal. It is a misdemeanor with fines up to $1,000. This law covers every county in Colorado.

The CDOC offender search shows state prison inmates. If a Yuma County case leads to a prison term, the person's records move to the state system. You can search CDOC for free and find the inmate's facility, sentence, and expected release date.

Sealed records are hidden from all public searches. Colorado courts can seal arrest records by petition, and the CBI seals records automatically in some cases. A sealed Yuma County booking record will not appear in CBI results, VINE, or in response to a records request. The record still exists but is not available to the public.
