Larimer County Jail Inmate Search & Roster 2026

Larimer County, Colorado · Fort Collins booking & custody guide

Larimer County Booking Lookup: Current Inmates, Bonds, Court Dates & Release Status

The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office provides more than a basic jail roster. Its inmate system can show the person’s date of birth, Jail ID, inmate number, arresting agency, agency case number, charges, warrant or docket number, bond type, bond amount, sentence information and upcoming court dates.

This guide explains how to use those records and what to do after you find the inmate—whether you need to post bond, check a pending release, start video visitation, add commissary money, mail a letter, receive a phone call, locate a court hearing or prepare for release.

Charges are allegations, not proof of guilt. Match the inmate using the date of birth, inmate number, Jail ID, arrest date or case information rather than relying on a name alone. Custody, bond and court information can change after a hearing, release order or transfer.

Fast answer

Choose the fastest Larimer County lookup route

1
Looking for one person

Use the inmate-name search. Enter at least two letters of the last name, choose the correct match and verify the identifying details.

2
Looking for recent arrests

Use the Booking Report. It can be filtered by arrest date and arresting agency and is better than searching individual names one by one.

3
Checking whether someone got out

Use the Releases page. It separately displays immediate/pending releases and people already released.

Best practical method: Start with the current-inmate search when the question is “Are they in jail right now?” Use the Booking Report for “Who was arrested?” and the Releases page for “Did they get out?”

Current custody

How to search the Larimer County Jail roster without missing the right inmate

Open the current-inmate search The official page searches people presently listed in Larimer County Jail custody.
Enter at least two letters of the last name Larimer County’s search is intentionally simple. You do not need to enter the person’s entire legal name before seeing potential matches.
Select the matching name Click the likely person from the result list to open the inmate-detail record.
Verify the date of birth Do this before assuming you have identified the correct person, especially with a common surname.
Save the Jail ID and inmate number These identifiers are useful for bond transactions and jail questions.
Read every charge A person may have more than one authority, charge, warrant or docket entry. One payable bond does not necessarily resolve every matter.
Check upcoming court dates The inmate page can display upcoming court information, making it a useful first court-status check.
Call if immediate action depends on the result If you plan to post bond, drive to Fort Collins or arrange a pickup, confirm current status through the jail at 970-498-5200.

What every field in a Larimer County inmate result means

Larimer County inmate-result decoder
Field Meaning What you should do
Date of birth Primary identity-matching detail. Compare it before paying money or assuming the record belongs to the person you know.
Jail ID Jail identification associated with the inmate. Save it with the inmate number when working on bond or communicating with the jail.
Inmate # Another identifier used in the jail system. Keep it available when contacting jail or payment services.
Arrested @ Arrest date/time shown by the jail system. Compare it with the incident you are trying to locate.
Agency Law-enforcement agency responsible for the arrest or case. Use that agency for incident-specific questions the jail cannot answer.
Agency Case # The arresting agency’s case identifier. Useful when requesting reports or contacting investigators.
Authority Court or jurisdiction connected to the charge or warrant. Use it to determine which court controls bond or future hearings.
Warrant / docket # Court-linked identifier for the matter. Use the number when searching the Colorado court docket.
Bond type How release may be secured, when permitted. Do not choose a payment method until you know which bond type applies.
Bond amount Amount presently listed for that matter. Verify all cases and holds before paying.
Sentence The jail page can display years, months or days associated with a resolved/sentenced matter. Do not confuse a sentence entry with an estimated release date.
Upcoming court dates Future hearings currently known to the system. Recheck the Colorado Judicial Branch docket close to the hearing because settings can change.
Do not stop at the first charge. Expand and read additional charges. Release depends on the complete custody picture, not just the first bond amount displayed.
Recent arrests

How to use the Larimer County Booking Report

When you do not know the inmate’s name—or you are researching bookings from a particular date—the Booking Report is more efficient than the individual inmate search.

Filter by arrest date

Select a date from the county’s booking interface to view people booked during that reporting period.

Filter by arresting agency

This helps when you know whether Fort Collins Police, Loveland Police, Larimer County Sheriff or another agency handled the arrest.

Roster versus booking report: A booking report answers who entered the jail system. The current inmate search is the better tool for determining who remains in custody now.
Troubleshooting

No Larimer County inmate found? Check these possibilities in order

The arrest happened very recently Booking may still be underway. Processing speed depends on how many people are entering or leaving the jail and whether the arrestee is cooperative.
You entered too much of the wrong name Use only the first two or three letters of the surname and choose from the returned list.
The person already bonded or was released Move to the county’s Released Inmates page instead of repeatedly searching current custody.
The person is on a short detoxification hold Larimer County explains that some people may be held on a Detoxification Hold without being under arrest or accused of a crime.
The arrest is in another jurisdiction Confirm the arresting agency and whether the person was transported to Larimer County Jail or another facility.
The person transferred The jail does not disclose upcoming inmate-transfer timing for security reasons. After transfer, the individual may contact family.
You are searching an older case Current inmate search is not a complete criminal-history database. Use records or court systems for old cases.
The search page is temporarily unavailable Call the jail directly rather than relying on an unavailable web result.
Call script “I am trying to confirm whether [full legal name], date of birth [DOB], is currently in Larimer County Jail. The arrest may have happened around [date] through [agency]. Can you confirm current custody or whether the person has already been released?”
Release tracker

How to check immediate, pending and completed releases

Larimer County’s release page is especially useful because it separates people who are about to leave or pending release from those whose release has already been processed.

Immediate release

The county page includes a section for inmates currently identified for immediate release.

Pending release

A separate section can display inmates whose release is pending rather than complete.

Released by day

Historical release details can include people released on recent dates.

Eight-hour detail: Larimer County notes that the standard historical release data includes people released 8 or more hours ago. Use the immediate/pending sections or call the jail when timing matters right now.

Bond & release

Larimer County Jail bond payment methods, fees and scam checks

Bonds can be posted 24 hours a day. First look up the inmate’s bond type, amount, inmate number and Jail ID before selecting a payment route.
Larimer County bond methods
Method How it works Important detail
Jail lobby kiosk Cash bond can be posted at the kiosk near the jail entrance. Larimer County jail facility locator number: 280525.
AllPaid online Cash bonds may be processed through the county’s online AllPaid route. Have the inmate/Jail ID information and correct bond details first.
AllPaid phone Call 1-888-604-7888. Payment-service fees may apply.
Money order Jail staff can accept qualifying money orders at the release window. Make payable to Court Clerk or Clerk of Courts.
Cashier’s check Accepted by jail staff at the release window. Make payable to the Court Clerk or Clerk of Courts.

Bond workflow

Find the inmate Record the inmate number and Jail ID from the current search.
Read every charge Confirm the bond type and amount attached to each case.
Look for holds Ask whether anything else will prevent release after the bond is posted.
Choose the correct payment method Use the lobby kiosk, AllPaid, money order or cashier’s check according to the bond type and county instructions.
Choose whether you should be listed as surety Colorado law generally provides for the deposit to be returned after the defendant is discharged from bond liability. Larimer County explains that the person posting the bond may elect to be listed as the surety so returned funds go to that person rather than the defendant.
Keep every receipt Save the confirmation number, amount, inmate information and payment time.
Do not expect instant physical release Booking/release staff still must verify release authority and complete the jail process.
Larimer County bond scam warning: The Sheriff’s Office says it will never call demanding payment for an inmate’s bond, early release, ankle monitor or incarceration-related fee. A caller who obtained your relative’s name from the public booking page can still be a scammer.

Turning yourself in at Larimer County Jail: what to bring and what to leave home

The Sheriff’s Office publishes a practical surrender checklist for people reporting on an active warrant or sentence.

Arrive sober and substance-free
Bring government-issued identification
Bring applicable court paperwork
Bring cash for bonding or commissary if needed
Bring glasses or contacts if needed
Keep other personal property to a minimum
Do not bring: outside books, electronic devices, outside food, tobacco, e-cigarettes, lighters or knives of any size. The Sheriff’s Office warns that prohibited tobacco products, e-cigarettes, lighters and knives may be destroyed.
If you expect to bond out quickly: Larimer County specifically suggests 8:30–9:00 a.m. as a useful surrender window. Bring cash when possible; the jail notes that credit-card use can involve additional fees.

Video visits

Larimer County Jail visitation works differently from scheduled jail visits

Larimer County encourages inmates to maintain family contact through video visitation. The Sheriff’s Office currently describes public off-site visitation as available seven days a week.

Who starts the visit?

The inmate. Larimer County says visitation requests must be initiated by the incarcerated person.

Advance reservation?

The jail FAQ states that off-site visits are inmate-initiated with no advance scheduling.

Device

Use a compatible smartphone or an internet-connected PC with webcam and microphone.

Video visitation rules

Visits can be monitored and recorded
Court and inmate-worker schedule conflicts take priority
Gang symbols, themes and colors are prohibited
Vulgar language or images are prohibited
Nudity is prohibited
Sexually explicit activity is prohibited
Staff can change or cancel a visit
Refund issues are handled by the visitation vendor
Common misunderstanding: Do not use the visitation schedule for Larimer County Community Corrections when trying to visit someone in the Larimer County Jail. They are separate programs and locations.
ViaPath / GettingOut

Larimer County inmate mail, pictures and messages

Larimer County Jail contracts with ViaPath Technologies, formerly GTL. GettingOut is used for digital mail, messages, phone-related services and visits.

Personal mail address

Send ordinary letters, pictures and drawings to:
Larimer County Jail, CO
Inmate Name, Inmate Booking #
P.O. Box 247
Phoenix, MD 21131
“BN#” is required. Larimer County specifically instructs senders to include BN# followed by the inmate’s booking number. A practical address line would look like: John Smith BN#11111.

What happens to personal mail?

Letters, pictures and drawings sent through the personal-mail system are digitally scanned and delivered to inmates on tablets. This means the Maryland PO box is a mail-processing address, not the physical jail.

Attorney-client privileged mail uses a different address

Privileged legal mail:
Larimer County Jail
Inmate’s Name
2405 Midpoint Drive
Fort Collins, CO 80525
Do not send attorney mail through the personal scanning address. Larimer County expressly exempts attorney-client privileged correspondence from the digital-mail route.

Digital messages

Inmates can send and receive digital text messages from registered contacts using GettingOut online or the mobile application.

Messages are not confidential. Do not discuss defense strategy, privileged legal information, passwords, financial-account information or other sensitive material through ordinary jail messaging.

Can I mail clothes, food or personal items?

The jail FAQ says mailed items are generally returned to sender. Inmates receive three meals each day and basic hygiene items, and may purchase additional approved comfort/hygiene products through commissary. The jail also provides access to a digital library with more than 7,000 books.

Larimer County inmate phone calls: 15-minute limit, prepaid calls and blocked numbers

Incoming calls

Not allowed. Family members cannot call an inmate directly, and jail staff do not pass ordinary messages to inmates.

Outgoing calls

Inmates can make collect and prepaid calls from housing areas when facility operations allow.

Call length: Larimer County limits standard inmate telephone calls to 15 minutes so inmates have equitable access to telephones.

Why an inmate may not be able to call you

Your phone does not accept collect calls A prepaid account may be required.
Your phone is forwarded Forwarded calls are not permitted for inmate calling.
Three-way calling was attempted Larimer County prohibits inmates from participating in three-way calls and the call may disconnect.
A protection order is involved Phone numbers associated with a protected person may be blocked.

Stopping unwanted inmate calls

Follow the automated telephone instructions to establish a phone block. If the block does not work, call the jail at 970-498-5200 and ask staff for assistance.

Prepaid calling

ViaPath’s ConnectNetwork AdvancePay service lets a family member place prepaid funds against a phone number. When the inmate calls that number, eligible call charges are deducted from the AdvancePay balance.

Attorney calls: Larimer County says verified attorneys or professional visitors can call 970-498-5200 and select option #6 to access a free, non-recorded line to speak with a client.
TouchPay

How to add commissary money—and what inmate fees can use the account

Online / phone

TouchPay handles commissary deposits. Phone: 1-866-232-1899.

Jail kiosk

The lobby kiosk accepts cash, credit and debit card deposits.

Facility locator

280525

Select “commissary.” Larimer County specifically tells users adding spending money to choose the commissary account option during setup.
Published Larimer County inmate costs and account uses
Item Published amount / rule Practical meaning
Meals Provided free Family does not need to deposit money for basic meals.
Basic hygiene Provided Optional specialty products can be purchased through commissary.
Booking fee $30 for inmates not on a writ An inmate account may be used for this jail debt.
Bonding fee $10 per case Multiple cases can create multiple bonding fees.
Medical services Some services can involve a co-pay No inmate is denied necessary medical care because of inability to pay.
Other programs/services Varies Examples published by the jail include notary and haircut fees.
Checks are not accepted for inmate deposits. A mailed check may be returned or placed in the inmate’s property instead of being credited to the account.

What happens to the balance at release?

If an inmate has money remaining when released, Larimer County says the individual receives a check for the balance. A negative balance that remains unpaid may eventually be sent to collections.

Pay My Jailer / debt after release

Larimer County uses Advent Financial Services, also known as Pay My Jailer, for transferred inmate debt. Once a debt has been transferred to Advent, the jail cannot accept that payment.

Full payment by money order

Medical & personal property

What families can—and cannot—bring to Larimer County Jail

Medical privacy: Jail staff do not disclose an inmate’s medical condition or medication information to ordinary callers because of HIPAA/privacy requirements.

Approved medical items that may be dropped off

CPAP machines
Prescribed specialty braces
Prosthetic devices
Glasses or contacts without cases/accessories
Dentures without cups/accessories
Hearing aids
Other medically necessary items approved case-by-case
Medical-item drop-off: The jail publishes a window of 6:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding county holidays.
Nothing else. Larimer County expressly limits this drop-off process to approved medical necessities. Do not arrive with clothing, electronics, books, snacks or unrelated personal items.

Picking up inmate property before a DOC transfer

If an inmate is transferring to the Colorado Department of Corrections and has property that cannot go with them, the inmate can authorize someone to collect it or choose to have it destroyed.

Jail property pickup window: 6:00 a.m.–11:00 p.m., Monday through Friday at the jail front desk for the inmate-transfer property process.
Do not confuse jail property with Sheriff’s evidence. Evidence or seized property from a criminal investigation is handled by the separate LCSO Property & Evidence Unit and may require case clearance plus an appointment.
Health & recovery

Mental health, substance-use treatment and MAT inside Larimer County Jail

Larimer County’s jail population dashboard specifically tracks participation in its Medication Assisted Treatment program for people with opioid or alcohol-use disorders.

Voluntary participation

The MAT program is voluntary rather than automatically imposed on inmates.

Treatment components

Medication, counseling, group therapy and case management are part of the published program model.

Community transition

The program includes referrals to community partners to help continue care after release.

In July 2026, the Sheriff’s Office also announced a $600,000 Resilient Colorado grant for a “Continuum to Community” initiative focused on substance-use prevention, treatment, recovery and coordinated jail-to-community care.

The county says this work builds on its Stone Soup Reintegration pilot, which uses peer support, pre-release planning and community-treatment connections to improve continuity after incarceration.
Court routing

Use the Jail page for the next court date, then verify it with the Colorado Judicial Branch

Larimer County’s inmate-detail page can display upcoming court dates. For a final hearing check, use the Colorado Judicial Branch docket because court settings can change independently of the jail.

After bond

Larimer County Pretrial Services: a step families often miss after release

Posting bond may not end the defendant’s obligations. Larimer County Pretrial Services provides information to the court about supervision and helps administer court-ordered pretrial conditions.

Reporting deadline: A person ordered onto Pretrial Supervision must report immediately and within 24 hours of posting bond. If released after business hours, Larimer County instructs the person to report the following day.
Pretrial Services

970-980-2600

Scam verification

Call Pretrial directly if someone demands money for a GPS unit or supervision fee.

GPS scam warning: Larimer County specifically warns about callers pretending to be law enforcement and demanding payment for a GPS device. Do not pay the caller; verify any real obligation through Pretrial Services or the Sheriff’s Office.
Release notifications

Colorado VINE

1-888-263-8463

Records after custody

Request booking documents, inmate records, medical records or booking photos

The public inmate page is useful for live status, but the Sheriff’s Records section is the better route when you need actual documents.

Arrest record / charge summary

Can provide information about when a person was booked into Larimer County Jail or when LCSO filed charges.

Non-medical inmate records

May include booking documents, property records and inmate behavior reports. A notarized inmate signature may be required for protected records.

Inmate medical records

Use the Sheriff’s medical-record request process. The county says the inmate must provide a notarized signature for release.

Booking photos: Larimer County instructs requesters to use the Criminal Justice Records request rather than the inmate medical/non-medical request form when they want a booking photo.

970-498-5110

A person without email can contact Records about submitting a paper request instead of using the online portal.
