Reviewed and updated October 9, 2026 by the SearchSystems.net editorial team. The arrest and crime counts are the ones each agency reported to the FBI, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026. Every office link was opened and checked against the office's own site on September 23, 2026.
Park County, Colorado, has about 18,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Park County depends on where the incident happened: the Park 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.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Park County
The report of an incident is released by the agency that took it; the court and the jail hold their own records of the same event, but not the report.
In Park County that is the Park County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
Reports from the Park County Sheriff's Office
The Park County Sheriff's Office is the county agency; it had 31 violent and 40 property crimes reported for 2022 and reported 85 arrests for 2021.
Its reports come from its records unit. The office's page SearchSystems verified is its jail page, at parkcountysheriff-wy.gov/detention (page title: Detention | Park County Sheriff), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.

What the Colorado Open Records Act Requires
The Colorado Open Records Act sets the rules: an answer within 3 working days, extendable to 7 when there are extenuating circumstances, at a charge of research and retrieval time after the first hour, plus copying, from the agency that holds the report.
