Checking Criminal History in Granada
Start with the narrowest Granada source. The police custodian can address an incident report, the town clerk can route a municipal citation inquiry, Prowers County Jail can confirm a booking, and Prowers County Combined Court holds state cases. The official Granada and Holly police contact page lists Granada's office line as 719-734-5211. Regional dispatch is 719-336-3977. There is no verified public portal that joins these records.
- Call Granada Police and give the incident date, place, subject, and any report or citation number.
- Confirm which agency is the records custodian, especially for work tied to the 2025 Granada and Holly arrangement.
- Ask the town clerk about a Granada municipal citation by name, citation number, and date.
- Call Prowers County Jail for custody or booking information, then use Combined Court for a filed state charge.
- Use CBI's ICHC only when a Colorado-wide name-based history is needed, and verify uncertain matches through fingerprint review.
Each step answers a different question. A police narrative, booking folder, court disposition, and CBI history are related but not interchangeable.
Call Before Leaving Granada
Granada sits in eastern Prowers County along the U.S. 50 corridor. Police, jail, and court records may require contact with offices in Granada, Holly, or Lamar. Calling first avoids a trip to an office that never held the file. Ask the person who answers to confirm the custodian, submission address or email, office availability, and whether inspection or a copy can be provided.
The first call should be factual. Give the date, location, arresting agency, subject, and report number if known. Do not assume that the office with the closest counter owns the record. The 2025 shared-coverage period makes the agency name on a citation or report especially useful.
Granada had 445 residents in the 2020 Census. Its small scale helps explain the phone-and-counter model, but it does not mean records are absent. No result on a web search may only mean the town has no public database.
Granada Police Department Records
Granada Police is the first contact for reports made by Granada officers. Call 719-734-5211. The department may hold a record of official action, which is the basic public record of an arrest, charge, or disposition known to the agency, as well as incident narratives and related material that require a separate release review. Lamar regional dispatch at 719-336-3977 can help identify the responding agency when that is unclear.
No official Granada police-record portal, request form, arrest log, app, or fee schedule was found. The sound route is to call, confirm the current custodian and delivery address, and then send a focused written CCJRA request. The lack of a published fee is not a promise of free copies. Ask for an estimate before authorizing work.

Granada Arrests and Bookings
No Granada detention facility was identified. A custodial arrest is transported to Prowers County Jail at 103 East Oak Street in Lamar. The jail line is 719-336-8050. Call with the full name and an approximate booking date because the county does not publish a verified web inmate roster or booking blotter.
The arresting agency keeps the police report. Jail staff create a separate folder for intake, custody, court appearances, photographs, billing, and facility tracking. Confidential medical documents are not made public merely because the jail stores them. If the prosecutor files a state charge, the court file becomes the best source for the charge actually prosecuted and its outcome.
The official Prowers County detention page identifies the jail and its local custody role. The county-level Prowers County arrest lookup explains the full fallback chain. CDOC Find an Offender covers state custody after transfer and should not be used to rule out a recent Granada booking.
No Granada Arrest Blotter
No official Granada arrest log or public booking search was located. That gap changes the order of a recent-arrest check. Call the jail first for current custody, then ask Granada Police for the agency record, and finally check the court once a case has been filed.
A press item or town meeting record may describe broad activity, but it is not a person-level history. Likewise, the CBI name search may lag a new arrest or return a possible match that is not fingerprint-confirmed. A missing result from either source does not replace a call to the local custodian.
Ask the jail whether the person is in current custody and what identifying details staff need. For a released person, request the booking record in writing rather than expecting the phone line to recite an archived file. If the person was transferred after sentencing, then move to the state locator. This order prevents a county booking from being missed merely because it never appeared in a state prison search.
Note: An arrest records an allegation and official action; it is not proof of guilt.
Municipal Court Records in Granada
A municipal citation stays with Granada's town process, while a Colorado misdemeanor or felony is handled through Prowers County Combined Court. No official Granada municipal case-name portal, published schedule, or request fee was located. Call the town before traveling and ask where a case inquiry or written request should go. Provide the defendant's name, citation number, and date.
| Court name | Granada municipal process; confirm the current clerk and setting by phone |
|---|---|
| Case types heard | Town citations and alleged municipal-code violations |
| Case lookup channel | Phone, counter, or written request; no public portal located |
| Useful inputs | Defendant name, citation number, and date |
| Copies and fees | No official Granada schedule or request fee was located; confirm before ordering |
A town citation is an allegation, not a conviction. Ask for the final plea, dismissal, judgment, or other disposition before drawing a conclusion from the citation alone.
Town, County, or CBI Record?
The same Granada event can leave different records at three levels. The town police file describes what officers reported and did. Prowers County Combined Court shows a state charge as filed, amended, dismissed, or resolved. CBI's Internet Criminal History Check, called ICHC, returns Colorado name-and-date-of-birth CHRI rather than a narrative police report.
| Need | Start here | Likely result |
|---|---|---|
| Incident details | Granada Police | Official action or reviewed report copy |
| Town citation outcome | Granada municipal clerk | Local case status or disposition |
| State charge outcome | Prowers Combined Court | Complaint, Register of Action, or disposition |
| Colorado name history | CBI ICHC | Statewide CHRI name match |
ICHC costs $13 per search, covers Colorado only, and is not fingerprint-verified. It excludes sealed records and specified juvenile matters. Use a personal fingerprint review when identity certainty matters, and obtain the court disposition if CBI reports an outcome as unknown.
Where Granada Records Go
Granada Police creates the local report. A custodial booking produces a jail folder and fingerprints. The prosecutor then decides whether to file a state charge, and the clerk records the complaint, hearings, orders, outcome, and sentence. Agencies report qualifying arrest and disposition data to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
Record flow: Granada Police › Prowers County Courts › Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
This is a flow of related facts, not one shared file. A recent report may exist before a court case. An arrest label may change when the prosecutor files. A court outcome may take time to reach CBI. Start close to the event, then move outward.
The official Prowers County Combined Court page provides the court's current contact and counter information. Its public docket can help confirm a setting, but a calendar is not the complete file. Request the complaint or information, Register of Action, and disposition when the filed charge and result matter. The broader Prowers County criminal court cases page explains that document route.
Write a Granada CCJRA Request
After confirming the custodian by phone, send a written request under the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act. Include your name and contact information, the incident date and location, the subject's name, the case or report number, and the exact record wanted. State whether you prefer inspection, an electronic file, or a paper copy.
Also include the affirmation required by C.R.S. § 24-72-305.5 that the information will not be used for direct solicitation of business for pecuniary gain. Ask the custodian to confirm receipt, the expected response route, and any estimate. Granada publishes no criminal-report fee schedule, so do not assume a price or borrow another agency's rate.
A narrow request helps staff separate a record of official action from a narrative, body-camera video, 911 or dispatch material, or evidence. Those items can require different review and redaction. If Granada says another office holds the record, keep the routing response and address the next request to the named custodian. The Prowers County Sheriff records page is a separate official channel for sheriff-created reports and jail-related records. It does not replace Granada's custody of a town police report.
A Granada Citation Is Not Conviction
A citation records an accusation and a direction to respond. It does not establish guilt. For a town matter, ask Granada's municipal clerk for the final status. For a state matter, obtain the complaint or information and the disposition from Prowers County Combined Court.
- Police report
- The arresting agency's account of an incident and investigation.
- Booking record
- The jail's record of intake, holds, bond, custody, and release.
- Complaint or information
- The formal charge filed for prosecution in court.
- Disposition
- The recorded outcome of a charge or case.
Comparing these documents prevents an initial officer description from being mistaken for the final prosecuted charge. It also shows when a charge was amended or dismissed.
Public Access Rules in Granada
Granada police files are criminal-justice records under Colorado law. Records of official action receive strong public access, while narrative reports, recordings, and evidence are subject to the custodian's statutory review. Juvenile information, victim data, sealed cases, active investigative content, medical material, protected addresses, and personal identifiers may be withheld or redacted.
Key Statutes:
Colorado Open Records Act, C.R.S. § 24-72-201 et seq. governs access to general state and local public records, subject to exemptions.
Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act, C.R.S. §§ 24-72-301 through 309 governs inspection and copying of police and other criminal-justice records.
C.R.S. § 24-72-305.5 restricts direct business solicitation using official-action information.
A denial or redaction does not mean every related record is closed. The court, jail, and police department make separate decisions about the files they hold. Ask for a written response and consider narrowing the request to a releasable record of official action.
