The Criminal Arrest Records Search form is for Pitkin County Sheriff's Office arrest records only, costs $7 per search, and returns a list of arrests on file with PCSO rather than police reports or statewide criminal history. The county CORA page specifically says not to use the general CORA link for law-enforcement records.

Address: 506 E Main Street, Aspen, CO 81611
Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m., except state holidays
Access note: Courthouse visitors must pass through security screening. Use the Colorado Judicial Branch docket search or the records request link on the Pitkin County court page for filed criminal cases.
- For someone currently held by the county jail, start with jail inmate records and call 970-920-5331 when the current-inmates PDF is unclear.
- For booking photos, read jail roster mugshots. Pitkin's public roster does not display mugshots, and requests must go through the correct criminal justice records custodian.
- For charges, hearings, or case status after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the Colorado Judicial Branch Pitkin County court page.
- For facility address, phone, visitation, mail, and jail-service details, use the Pitkin County Jail page.
- For a sentenced Colorado prison inmate, use the Colorado Department of Corrections offender search at https://www.doc.state.co.us/oss/.
- For federal custody, use the BOP inmate locator at https://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/. For immigration detention, use ICE ODLS at https://locator.ice.gov/odls/.
- For custody notifications, Colorado VINE is available by phone at 888-263-8463 or through VINELink.
