Broomfield County Inmate Population
Broomfield County is a consolidated city and county, so local detention is handled by the Broomfield Police Department rather than a separately branded county sheriff's office. The Broomfield County inmate population is housed at the Broomfield Detention Center, an adult local detention center at Ridge Parkway. It holds people arrested in Broomfield, people waiting for bond or court, short local custody cases, fugitives, failure-to-appear holds, and some people connected to outside agencies.
The local count changes as people are booked, released, bonded, transferred, or sentenced. Broomfield publishes a current active booking PDF, but that file is a point-in-time custody list. It should not be treated as an annual population statistic. Population statistics come from detention capacity information, Broomfield budget materials, Census context, and research sources such as Vera or BJS when used for comparison. Court case counts and state prison counts are separate from the jail population.
Broomfield County Inmate Population Statistics
The strongest official local number is capacity. Broomfield publishes a rated Detention Center capacity of 218 inmates after the 2010 expansion, with 156 male beds, 54 female beds, and 8 flex beds. Budget snippets located during research reported recent average daily population below that capacity. Those ADP values are budget-context figures, not live roster counts.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Year |
|---|---|---|
| Rated capacity | 218 inmates | Broomfield Detention Center official page, 2010 expansion details |
| Bed breakdown | 156 male / 54 female / 8 flex | Broomfield Detention Center official page |
| 2023 average daily population | 94.83 | City and County of Broomfield 2025 Annual Budget snippet |
| 2024 year-to-date average daily population | 68.77 | City and County of Broomfield 2025 Annual Budget snippet |
| 2025 county population estimate | 79,174 residents | U.S. Census QuickFacts, July 1, 2025 estimate |
The 2023 ADP of 94.83 is about 43.5% of the 218-bed capacity. The 2024 year-to-date ADP of 68.77 is about 31.5% of capacity. Those calculations are useful context only, because the jail can hold people for outside agencies and the active roster changes throughout the year.
Broomfield County Jail Population Trends
Broomfield's population story is a capacity-growth story followed by recent use below rated capacity, not an official overcrowding finding. The original facility opened with an 80-inmate design capacity. The 2010 expansion raised capacity to 218 inmates and brought the building to 79,325 square feet. Recent budget figures found in the research sit below half of that rated capacity.
| Year | Population or Capacity Measure | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2001 | 80-inmate original design capacity | Detention Center opened November 15, 2001. |
| 2010 | 218 rated capacity | Expansion added male, female, and flex beds. |
| 2019 | 2,909 transports | Official detention at-a-glance metric, not ADP. |
| 2023 | 94.83 ADP | Official budget snippet cited during research. |
| 2024 YTD | 68.77 ADP | Official budget snippet cited during research. |
| Current | Changes with active booking PDF | Use the report date and time for current custody only. |
No official source inspected reported a recent Broomfield jail overcrowding lawsuit, consent decree, death-in-custody dashboard, or new jail construction plan. Colorado statewide jail standards are still important because they affect county jails beginning July 1, 2026.
Broomfield County Inmate Population Makeup
Broomfield's public active booking PDF does not publish a demographic table for the jail population. It shows DOB, but it does not show race, sex, height, weight, housing unit, or live pretrial-versus-sentenced aggregate counts. The official bed breakdown is a design capacity breakdown, not a live demographic count. Census QuickFacts describes Broomfield County residents, not the incarcerated population.
- Current local custody: adults housed at Broomfield Detention Center and listed in the active booking PDF.
- Booking charges: jail-stage statutes and descriptions that may change after DA review.
- Outside-agency holds: individual agency lines can appear, but no aggregate hold count was found.
- State prisoners: sentenced Colorado prison custody belongs in CDOC search, not the local jail count.
- Federal or ICE custody: separate locators apply after transfer or when the custody system is not local.
Broomfield County Inmate Population Law
Colorado law shapes both jail operations and public records access. Broomfield publishes the current custody report only after a no-solicitation acknowledgement. That is not a privacy wall or paid account requirement. It reflects Colorado's criminal justice records rule that bars using those records for direct business solicitation for monetary gain.
Key Statutes and Rules:
C.R.S. 24-72-301 et seq. governs Colorado criminal justice records, including police and booking records.
C.R.S. 24-72-305.5 requires the no-solicitation affirmation used in Broomfield's booking and records paths.
C.R.S. 16-4-102 is tied to Broomfield's HB21-1280 bond-rights notices and release timing.
HB24-1054 requires county jails to comply with adopted Colorado jail standards beginning July 1, 2026.
Standards for Colorado Jails cover reception, release, classification, health, grievances, visitation, housing, staffing, and rights topics.
Broomfield received a Colorado Division of Criminal Justice Certificate of Compliance for HB21-1280 on April 5, 2022. The certificate states that Broomfield Police Department posted required legal-rights notices for money bond, created policies, distributed and trained staff, and made notices visible to inmates and bond inquirers.
Search Broomfield County Inmate Population
The current inmate lookup starts at the official Inmate Information page, then moves through the active booking acknowledgement. After the user accepts the legal statement, the active booking PDF opens. It lists current housed inmates and charge-related rows. It is not a historical arrest database and not a mugshot gallery.
- Open the Broomfield Inmate Information page from the official city-county site.
- Use the Search for an Inmate link and read the no-solicitation acknowledgement.
- Open the active booking PDF and search inside the PDF viewer by name.
- Match identity with DOB and inmate ID before relying on a result.
- Check all bond, agency, statute, and description rows under the same person.
- Use court, records, CDOC, BOP, ICE, and VINELink channels when the PDF does not list the person.
The official Broomfield inmate information page shows the local path to the custody report, phone accounts, and mail rules.
Because Broomfield uses a PDF, the browser's Find tool is the practical name-search method after the report opens.
Broomfield County Inmate Lookup Fields
The Broomfield active booking path has fewer fields than a database roster. The public page provides an acknowledgement button, not a search form. The PDF then publishes custody fields for each listed person. That structure is a key local detail because users may waste time looking for a last-name search box that does not exist.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acknowledgement text | Legal affirmation | Yes | User must affirm no direct business solicitation for pecuniary gain. |
| Acknowledge / Agree | Button | Yes | Opens the active booking PDF. |
| Name search | None on county page | Not available | Search inside the PDF viewer with Find. |
| Inmate ID search | None | Not available | ID appears in the report but cannot be searched on a county form. |
| Current/released tab | None | Not available | Released people may drop from the active report. |
Broomfield County Inmate Record Shows
A Broomfield inmate record can show name, inmate ID, DOB, release date when listed, bond amount, bond type, agency, statute, offense class, description, and report date/time. It does not show mugshots, housing units, pod location, height, weight, race, sex, medical status, attorney information, or a full court file. The jail record is useful, but it is not the final word on charges.
| Field | Use |
|---|---|
| DOB and Inmate ID | Help distinguish people with similar names. |
| Bond Type | Shows whether Cash/Surety, Cash Only, PR Bond, No Bond, or Variable Bond appears. |
| Agency | Shows Broomfield Police Department or an outside holding agency. |
| Statute and Description | Shows the booking charge or hold language entered at jail stage. |
| Release Date | May be blank or populated, depending on custody status and report timing. |
Past Broomfield County Inmate Records
The active booking PDF is best for the question, "Is this person currently housed?" It is weaker for the question, "Was this person arrested last year?" For historical booking records, police reports, records inspection, body-worn camera video, 911 audio, photos, or local background letters, use the Broomfield Police Records Unit. The Records Unit accepts online and in-person requests and lists 303-438-6420 for questions.
Court records after arrest go through Broomfield Combined Courts and the Colorado Judicial Branch docket search. The jail PDF can show booking charge language, while the court docket and court records show filed charges, hearings, case status, and outcomes after the prosecutor acts. Those systems should be checked together when custody and filed charges both matter.
Broomfield Jail vs State Prison
The Broomfield County inmate population is local jail custody, not the entire population of people convicted from Broomfield cases. After sentencing to Colorado prison, a person may leave Broomfield custody and become searchable through CDOC. Federal and immigration custody are also outside the Broomfield active report.
| County Jail | State Prison | Federal / ICE | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who is held | Pretrial, bond, short local custody, holds | Sentenced Colorado prisoners | Federal inmates or immigration detainees |
| Local source | Broomfield active booking PDF | CDOC Offender Search | BOP or ICE |
| Local facility | Broomfield Detention Center | No CDOC prison found in Broomfield County | No BOP or ICE facility found in Broomfield County |
Broomfield County Detention Facilities
The Facility Map for this project has one local detention facility. It is the Broomfield Detention Center, operated by the Broomfield Police Department. No official state prison, federal Bureau of Prisons facility, ICE detention center, or separate municipal jail was found physically in Broomfield County.
- Broomfield Detention Center holds adults arrested in or held for Broomfield, including pretrial detainees, local sentence cases, bond matters, fugitives, and outside-agency holds where booked into the facility.
Broomfield County Jail Services
Broomfield publishes detailed operational pages for bond, visitation, inmate money, mail, and programs. Bond payments use cash, AllPaid card payment, or licensed bondsman paths, with Broomfield's location code PLC #a003fz for AllPaid. Inmate deposits use the lobby kiosk or JailATM, not AllPaid. Social visits are electronic through iWebVisit, with remote visits available daily and limited lobby video visits on Tuesday and Thursday.
The detention programs page describes creative writing, parenting, maker skills, voting-rights education, job readiness, arts projects, and library partnership programming. Broomfield also publishes a PREA zero-tolerance page and policy. These details matter because the jail is not just a list of names; it is the local custody setting for the Broomfield County inmate population.
The Broomfield development programs page documents the facility's local programming and recidivism focus.
Those programs are facility-specific and should not be generalized to CDOC, BOP, or ICE custody.
Broomfield County Inmate Population FAQ
How large is the Broomfield County inmate population?
Broomfield publishes a 218-bed capacity for the Detention Center. Budget snippets reported 2023 ADP of 94.83 and 2024 year-to-date ADP of 68.77. The live custody count changes with bookings and releases, so the active PDF should be checked for current housed people.
Does Broomfield have a searchable jail roster?
Broomfield has an active booking PDF after a legal acknowledgement, not a database form. Users can use the PDF viewer's Find command, then verify bond and charge details with the jail, court, or Records Unit as needed.
Does the Broomfield roster show mugshots?
No. The inspected active booking report showed text fields but no mugshots, housing units, or physical descriptors. Booking photo requests should go through Broomfield Police Records and Colorado criminal justice records rules.
Who runs Broomfield detention?
The Broomfield Police Department operates the Broomfield Detention Center. Broomfield is a consolidated city and county, so the build should not invent a separate county sheriff roster for this project.
Where are sentenced prisoners searched?
Sentenced Colorado prisoners are searched through CDOC Offender Search, not the Broomfield active booking PDF. Federal inmates use BOP, and immigration detainees use ICE ODLS.
