About this guide

Park County, Colorado, has about 18,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). In Colorado the public criminal record is the court file, kept by the clerk of the combined court; the statewide criminal history kept by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation is open to anyone who asks. This guide says where each record of a criminal case from Park County is kept and how it is seen.

This guide covers the court file, the statewide record, local arrest records, the crimes behind the records, the prosecutor, sex offender registry, records requests and common questions.

Criminal Cases in the Park County District Court

A criminal case from Park County is filed in the Park 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/park-county (page title: Park County | Colorado Judicial Branch), phone (719) 204-2205, 300 Fourth St. P.O. Box 190 Fairplay, CO 80440, Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 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 Park County

The Park County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Fairplay keep the arrest records in Park County: 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.

Fairplay reported 36 arrests to the FBI for 2025; 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 Park County arrest records.

The Crimes Behind the Records: Park County in 2022

The two agencies in Park County with all twelve months of 2022 on file reported 33 violent and 64 property crimes to the FBI that year. Each reported crime is a report on file with the agency that took it, and each arrest that follows is the start of a criminal record.

The full crime section, agency by agency, is on the Park County public records guide.

The District Attorney for Park County

The office's page SearchSystems verified is at parkcountyco.gov/m/directory/department?did=51 (page title: Staff Directory, District Attorney's Office), phone 719-836-2080, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.

The Sex Offender Registry for Park County

Registered sex offenders living in Park County 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 Park 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.
