Jefferson County Record Contacts
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and Jefferson County Detention Facility share the public-safety complex at 200 Jefferson County Parkway, Golden, CO 80401. Use the line that matches the question, since live custody, old booking files, and warrants are handled separately.

- For a current or past booking photo, start with the Jefferson County booking guide and then use JCSO’s official roster or Records Unit.
- For a warrant check, call the Warrants Unit; the Sheriff's Most Wanted page also explains the selected public bulletin.
- For a person arrested today, remember that the live roster shows current custody, not a complete daily arrest log.
- For a release date or custody alert, call the jail line or use Colorado VINE through the sheriff’s Victim Services directions.
- For police-created reports, contact the relevant Lakewood, Arvada, or Golden police records office instead of JCSO.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Colorado Department of Corrections Offender Search.
- For federal prison or immigration detention, use the federal BOP or ICE locator that matches the custody system.
