Fremont County, Colorado, has about 50,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Fremont County depends on where the incident happened: the Fremont County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Colorado Open Records Act requires of it.

Under the Colorado Open Records Act the agency 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 request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
