Criminal Cases in the Weld County District Court
A criminal case from Evans is filed in the Weld County District Court or the County Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases and civil cases up to $25,000, and the court file, kept by the clerk of the combined court, is the record of it that the public may see.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at coloradojudicial.gov/courts/trial-courts/weld-county (page title: Weld County | Colorado Judicial Branch), phone (970) 475-2400, Monday-Friday: 7:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., 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 Evans
The Weld County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Evans (filed by the FBI as Evans Police Department) keep the arrest records in and around Evans: 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.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Weld County: the University of Northern Colorado (campus police); Weld County Drug Task Force (other agency); each keeps the records of its own arrests.
The Brighton Police Department, the Northglenn Police Department, the Longmont Police Department and one more are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Weld County, so their arrests are not broken out for Weld County here.
Together, the 21 agencies in Weld County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 10,660 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 Evans arrest records.
The Crimes Behind the Records: Evans in 2025
The agency that reports for Evans had 65 violent and 363 property crimes reported for 2025; each one is a report on file with it, and each arrest that follows is the start of a criminal record.
The District Attorney for Weld County
Charges in Weld County are filed by the District Attorney, which reviews the arrests of every agency in the county and brings the cases in the Weld County District Court or the County Court.
The office's page SearchSystems verified is at weld.gov/Government/Elected-Officials/District-Attorney (page title: District Attorney | Weld County), phone (970) 400-4750, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
The Sex Offender Registry for Evans
Registered sex offenders living in Evans 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 Weld 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.
