Prowers County Arrest History
Prowers County arrest records begin with the agency that took action. The Prowers County Sheriff's Office handles arrests in unincorporated areas and runs the jail. Lamar Police keeps reports for incidents within Lamar. Granada Police and Holly Police records depend on the incident date and which agency acted during their changing coverage arrangement. Colorado State Patrol keeps records for arrests it makes on state highways.
A single arrest can create four files. The police or sheriff writes an incident or arrest report. Jail staff open a booking folder. Fingerprints sent to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation can create or update a Colorado arrest cycle. A prosecutor and court make a separate file if charges are filed. The sources overlap, but they are not copies of one another. An arrest history records enforcement events, not a finding of guilt.
Prowers Arrest Records by Agency
Location usually identifies the first custodian. Ask PCSO for a sheriff arrest or county jail booking. Contact Lamar Police at 719-336-4341 for a Lamar incident. Granada Police uses 719-734-5211. Holly Police uses 719-537-0255 after its department was re-established in 2026, though earlier shared-service incidents may remain with Granada. Lamar nonemergency dispatch at 719-336-3977 can help identify an uncertain arresting agency.
The agency report contains the officer's account, alleged offenses, and evidence details. PCSO's jail folder documents intake and custody. The Prowers County court file shows what prosecutors later filed. A requester who wants the full trail may need all three, sent to three separate custodians. CBI cannot provide another agency's narrative report.
The official sheriff patrol page documents the county role reflected in this agency capture.
Patrol duties identify why PCSO is the right starting point for unincorporated-county arrest records, while city incidents remain with city police.
Looking Up Prowers County Arrests
No official Prowers County web roster was located. Begin with the jail for current custody, then use the agency, court, and statewide channels that match the question. A full name, approximate arrest date, location, and report or booking number help staff distinguish records. Use a fingerprint-based personal review when a same-name match creates doubt.
- Call PCSO and the jail at 719-336-8050 to ask about current custody. After hours, the county directs visitors to the jail lobby.
- Identify the arresting agency and submit its written request for the arrest report or record of official action.
- Check the Prowers court docket, then request the complaint or information and disposition after a case is filed.
- Use the CBI Internet Criminal History Check for a Colorado-wide name and birth-date search, or CABS for one's own fingerprint-confirmed record.
- After a state-prison transfer, use CDOC Find an Offender. A missing CDOC result says nothing about current county jail custody.
- When a direct inquiry is not enough, file a focused written request with the sheriff or police custodian that created the record.
No Prowers County Booking Log
The county does not publish a verified public inmate roster or recent-arrest blotter. That absence is a limit of online access, not evidence that no booking occurred. Call the Prowers County Jail, visit its lobby, or request the booking record in writing. Current custody can change after bond, release, court order, sentence completion, dismissal, or transfer, so confirm status directly.
The official detention page describes the jail and its three-pod structure. It does not offer a name search. The source image below shows the official county detention information rather than a gallery of people in custody.
The detention page helps confirm the facility and contact route, while the jail phone or records staff supplies person-specific status that may lawfully be released.
Inside a Prowers County Arrest Record
A Prowers County arrest file may combine an agency's enforcement details with booking identifiers, but release depends on the custodian and the record. Public copies can redact victim, juvenile, medical, identity, and active-investigation details. A booking photograph or fingerprint transaction may exist internally without making every image or biometric detail public. Ask for named documents and fields instead of requesting an unrestricted internal folder.
| Identity and aliases | Name and known aliases used to connect the event to the right person. |
|---|---|
| Arrest details | Date, time, location, agency, officer, and alleged legal basis. |
| Incident narrative | Probable-cause account, evidence, property, and cited warrant or report numbers. |
| Booking details | Booking number and time, fingerprint transaction, photograph, and housing classification. |
| Charges and holds | Booking allegations, warrant basis, bond, or other hold at intake. |
| Release status | Release, bond, transfer, dismissal, or sentence-related custody event. |
| Restricted fields | Medical, victim, juvenile, personal identifier, and active-investigation content may be withheld. |
Prowers Booking Folder After Release
PCSO describes a booking folder that follows a person through custody. It can contain court appearances, photographs, medical documents, billing, and other facility tracking material. After release, staff sort and archive the file. Older paper material may require manual retrieval, which is one reason a precise date and booking identifier help a Prowers County arrest request.
Existence does not guarantee public release. Confidential medical records stay protected, and criminal-justice material beyond records of official action receives custodian review under Colorado law. A useful request asks for the releasable booking face sheet, arrest charge and bond entries, booking and release dates, and other specific public portions. It does not assume the whole operational folder is open.
Booking Logs and Recent Arrests
Recent Prowers County arrests require live confirmation because no official web booking log exists. Call 719-336-8050 with the person's full name and an approximate booking date. PCSO records staff accept written sheriff criminal-report requests at 103 East Oak Street, Lamar, during weekday records hours. Mail, fax, counter, and the named custodian's email are documented channels. The undersheriff authorizes report release.
Official press releases or town board minutes may describe law-enforcement work, but they are not person-search databases. Holly's September 2025 minutes, for example, reported calls, summonses, warnings, citations, and no arrests for that reporting month. Those aggregate figures should not be turned into a blotter or annual crime claim. For a named event, use the arresting agency and jail.
The sheriff's records workflow also explains why an archived arrest can take staff review even when no current booking appears online.
Lamar Arrest Record Request Form
Lamar Police uses a 2026 criminal-justice records form for arrests and summonses inside city limits. It asks for requester contact details, subject or party, date of birth, report or incident identifiers, event date and location, a clear record description, delivery choice, signature, and date. It also contains the Colorado statutory affirmation against using official-action records for direct business solicitation.
Send the completed form to kenzi.tefertiller@ci.lamar.co.us. Lamar charges $41 per research hour after the first hour. Payment is due when work is complete, and uncollected records are destroyed after 30 days. An LPD official-action search covers Lamar arrests or summonses and their dispositions, not juvenile information or another agency's cases.
The official Lamar records-request page is captured below and provides the current city channel.
The city form belongs only to Lamar Police records; use PCSO or another town's custodian when that agency made the arrest.
Prowers Arrests and the CBI Cycle
At a custodial booking, fingerprints can create or update an arrest cycle in CBI's Colorado Criminal History Record Information. Courts and agencies later report dispositions. CBI warns that some reports can show a disposition as unknown. When that happens on one's own record, obtain the official disposition from the Prowers County court or arresting agency and follow CBI's update or challenge process.
The $13 ICHC search is based on name and date of birth. It is Colorado-only, not fingerprint verified, and cannot be notarized. It excludes sealed records and specified juvenile or young traffic arrests. A personal fingerprint review through Colorado Applicant Background Services is better for identity doubt. Neither CBI route supplies PCSO's incident narrative or complete booking folder.
Prowers Arrest Records and Federal Systems
Federal court and custody tools answer different questions from a Prowers County arrest lookup. PACER provides federal dockets and filed documents after account registration and can charge by page. It does not contain the Prowers Combined Court file.
The PACER capture marks the federal case channel, which should only be used when the prosecution is in federal court.
The U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado is the federal trial court serving this area.
Its official site routes federal filings, while state and municipal charges remain with their local clerks.
For federal imprisonment, use the official Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator.
A missing federal result does not rule out Prowers County jail custody or Colorado state custody.
Arrests Are Not Convictions
An arrest records an allegation and custody action. A conviction records guilt established by plea or verdict. In Prowers County, the arresting agency and jail create the first set of records, while the court clerk keeps the filed charge and judgment. Prosecutors can decline or amend an arrest charge. A case can also end in dismissal or acquittal. Always pair the arrest record with the complaint or information and the final disposition.
| Arrest Record | Conviction Record |
|---|---|
| Created by the arresting agency and jail | Created and entered by the court |
| Shows an enforcement or booking event | Shows a finding of guilt by plea or verdict |
| Kept in agency and PCSO custody files | Kept by the Prowers County or municipal court clerk |
| May be followed by release, no filing, or dismissal | May be followed by sentence, appeal, or eligible sealing |
Note: A Prowers County arrest is not proof of guilt, and the filed court disposition is the reliable outcome record.
