Find a Boulder County Jail Inmate and Verify Current Custody
For a Boulder County jail inmate search, start with the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office Daily Booking and Listing Reports. The county’s public system can help you check people currently in custody, recent bookings and releases without paying a commercial people-search service.
The jail is operated by the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office at 3200 Airport Road, Boulder, CO 80301. If the online report does not answer your question, Jail Booking/Bond Information can be reached at 303-441-4650.
Custody, charges, bond and release information can change during the day. Use the live Sheriff report for the final status check.
How to Search the Boulder County Jail Roster
- Open the Sheriff’s official report page. Go to the Daily Booking and Listing Reports page.
- Select “Continue to Booking and Listing Report.” The county sends you to its public Power BI jail-report system.
- Use the current inmate/listing view. This is the correct place to check whether someone presently appears in Boulder County Jail custody.
- Search the person’s name. Use the legal name when possible. For a common surname, compare the available booking information carefully before assuming you found the correct person.
- Review the custody and charge information. The Sheriff specifically directs users to this report to confirm current custody and view available charges.
- Check booking or release information when needed. If the person was arrested very recently or has already left custody, switch to the booking or release information instead of relying only on the current inmate list.
- Call Booking if the result is unclear. Use 303-441-4650 for a current jail or bond question rather than guessing from an old search result.
Current Inmates, Recent Bookings or Releases: Use the Right Report
| If you want to know… | Best source | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Is this person currently in Boulder County Jail? | Daily Listing / current inmate view | Search by name and verify the correct person. |
| Was someone recently booked? | Daily Booking information | Check the booking report, especially when the arrest was recent. |
| Was the person released? | Daily Release information | Review current-day releases and available upcoming release information. |
| I need an older booking | Sheriff Records Division | Call 303-441-3600 or submit a records request. |
| I need the court case or hearing | Colorado Judicial Branch | Search the court docket separately; a jail record is not the final court record. |
The Sheriff states that the online booking/listing information is provided for general reference and does not replace an official record. If you need a certified, historical or more complete record, use the Records Division.
If the Person Does Not Appear in the Inmate Search
A missing name does not always mean the person was never arrested. Work through these checks before searching unrelated websites:
- Confirm the spelling and try the full legal surname.
- Check the recent booking information if the arrest happened recently.
- Check the release report in case the person already bonded out or was otherwise released.
- Consider whether the person was transferred to another jurisdiction or correctional system.
- Call Boulder County Jail Booking at 303-441-4650 for current custody or bond questions.
- For an older Boulder County jail stay, contact the Records Division at 303-441-3600.
- If the person has moved into Colorado state-prison custody, use the Colorado Department of Corrections offender-search system rather than the county jail roster.
