Where to Direct Jail and Records Questions
For current Adams County jail custody, start with the Adams County Sheriff's Office and the Adams County Detention Facility. Colorado criminal justice record access is governed by CRS 24-72-301 et seq., and ACSO records forms include the CRS 24-72-305.5 acknowledgment for criminal justice records and booking-photo use. The official records forms route completed requests by email, and payment is required when the records are completed. Records not picked up within 30 days may be destroyed under the ACSO form instructions.
