Castle Pines, Colorado, in Douglas County, has about 15,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate).

This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it.

Who Makes Arrests in Castle Pines
The FBI lists no arrest reporting agency under the name of Castle Pines. In Douglas County the county agency that reports arrests is the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Castle Pines Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Castle Pines and kept in custody ends up, whichever agency made the arrest, though a city department may hold someone in its own cells first and a person cited and released at the scene is never booked. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and once the person is released or sentenced the record continues in the court file.
On an average day in 2025 the jail held about 370 people, up from about 330 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2025 was 472 beds, and it ran at 77 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Castle Pines
For Castle Pines the place to look is the case index of the Douglas County District Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at coloradojudicial.gov/courts/trial-courts/douglas-county, phone 720-437-6114).
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. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Castle Pines
The report of an arrest is released by the agency that made it; the jail and the court hold their own records of the same event, but not the report. Under the Colorado Open Records Act the agency must answer 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.
