Logan County, Colorado, has about 21,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Logan County Sheriff's Office and one city agency. An arrest leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the District Attorney files charges, a case in the Logan County District Court. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts each agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies, cities and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Logan County
The Logan County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Logan County. It reported 338 arrests for 2025.
The FBI lists one city in Logan County with a reporting agency of its own:
- Sterling, 13,114 residents: 735 arrests reported for 2025.
A city on that list is reported separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
How Many Arrests Each Agency Reports in Logan County
The FBI publishes every agency's monthly arrest counts on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Sterling: 735 for 2025, 882 for 2024, 807 for 2023, 688 for 2022, 911 for 2021 and 781 for 2020.
- Logan County Sheriff's Office: 338 for 2025, 287 for 2024, 370 for 2023, 398 for 2022, 368 for 2021 and 374 for 2020.
Together, the two agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 1,073 arrests that year. The same agencies with both 2025 and 2024 complete reported 1,073 in 2025 against 1,169 in 2024, down 8.2 percent.
Through June 2026, the two agencies with every month so far on file reported 542 arrests, against 536 in the same months of 2025.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Logan County Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Logan County 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 2024 the jail held about 12 people, down from about 88 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2024 was 100 beds, and it ran at 12 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
A person sentenced to prison serves the sentence in a facility of the Colorado Department of Corrections, whose inmate locator is at cdoc.colorado.gov.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in Logan County
An arrest in Logan County can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: the case index of the Logan 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/logan-county, phone (970) 522-5032); the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at 13thda.com/about).
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 Logan County
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.
- An arrest by the Logan County Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit.
- An arrest in Sterling: the records unit of the agency that reports for that city; the city guides linked above name each city's records office.
- A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney handles discovery for pending cases.
- The court file of a case that was filed: the Logan County District Court, through the court records page at coloradojudicial.gov, phone (970) 522-5032.
- Any county record that is not posted: the county records request page SearchSystems verified is at logancountyco.gov (page title: Colorado Open Records Requests).
- Your own statewide record: a name-based or fingerprint-based request to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
