Criminal Cases in the Morgan County District Court
In Colorado the public criminal record is the court file. Criminal cases from Brush are heard by the Morgan County District Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $25,000, divorces, probate and juvenile matters; the County Court takes misdemeanors, traffic cases and civil cases up to $25,000, and the file of each case is kept by the clerk of the combined court.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at coloradojudicial.gov/courts/trial-courts/morgan-county (page title: Morgan County | Colorado Judicial Branch), 400 Warner Street Fort Morgan, CO 80701, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
Colorado has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
The Colorado Criminal History and Your Own Copy
Colorado is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: the state runs an online name-based criminal history check open to the public, through the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. The result is the repository record, what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
To see your own record, the route is a name-based or fingerprint-based request to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. The state page SearchSystems verified for it is at cbi.colorado.gov/records-background-checks/internet-criminal-histor....
Arrest Records Kept Locally in Brush
The Morgan County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Brush (filed by the FBI as Brush Police Department) keep the arrest records in and around Brush: the report and the booking record of each arrest stay with the agency that made it, separate from the court file and from the state repository.
Together, the four agencies in Morgan County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 1,246 arrests to the FBI that year; how each case ended is in the court file, not in the arresting agency's.
The agencies and their counts, year by year, are in Brush arrest records.
The Sex Offender Registry for Brush
Registered sex offenders living in Brush are listed on the Colorado Sex Offender Registry, run by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation at apps.colorado.gov/apps/dps/sor. Only sexually violent predators, multiple offenders and adults convicted of felony sex offenses appear on the statewide site; local police and sheriffs hold the full list.
Registration itself is done in person with the local agency where the registrant lives: the sheriff's office, or the city police in a city with its own department.
Asking an Agency in Morgan County for a Record
An arrest report, a booking record or a local criminal history letter comes from the agency that holds it, not from the court.
Under the Colorado Open Records Act a county office must answer a request within 3 working days, extendable to 7 when there are extenuating circumstances, and it may charge research and retrieval time after the first hour, plus copying. The county records request page SearchSystems verified is at morgancounty.colorado.gov/colorado-open-records-act-cora-requests (page title: Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) Requests | Morgan County Where Prairie Meets the Sky).
