Aurora Colorado Criminal Records

Match the Aurora record to the office that created it

Aurora criminal records can mean a municipal summons, a county or district court prosecution, an Aurora Police report, or a Colorado criminal-history response. Start with the document in hand. A municipal summons number belongs with the city court; a state-court number belongs with its filing court; a police incident reference belongs with the investigating agency. Record both references if a case moves between them.

Aurora lies in Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas counties. The city name alone does not establish the county of filing, and a person’s current address is not a substitute for the court named on the case. Use the court caption, summons, arrest paperwork or prosecutor’s correspondence to identify the correct jurisdiction before ordering a copy.

Find the municipal docket and request the disposition

Aurora Municipal Court’s public docket accepts first and last name or a summons number and expressly excludes juveniles. A displayed hearing date tells you about a scheduled event, not necessarily the final outcome. Preserve the summons reference and ask for the disposition when proof of resolution is needed. An empty municipal search cannot rule out a state-court case or an excluded juvenile matter.

On the city’s Records Requests page, use the specific email link for court records or a summons disposition. Include the name, summons/case number, approximate date and the document sought. Ask whether a certified copy is available and request the total under the Aurora Administrative Fee Schedule before ordering. The reviewed routing page does not publish one fixed municipal-disposition price or guaranteed turnaround.

Use the Colorado court-file request for a state prosecution

The Colorado Judicial Branch’s Access Guide provides an online records-request form for a specific case or person; the appropriate court contacts the requester after submission. You can also contact the court handling the case directly. Choose the actual Arapahoe, Adams or Douglas county court where applicable, and distinguish county-court and district-court files rather than asking all Aurora-area offices for the same unidentified record.

The guide links commercial vendors for limited register-of-actions searches by name or case number. These charge for access and do not supply copies of the filed documents. Request the judgment, disposition or other actual filing from the court or its official request form. The online register does not contain every case type and is not the official court record.

Send investigative-record requests to Aurora Police

Aurora Police uses NextRequest to receive and process public requests for police-held records. Its account allows you to track messages and released documents. Describe the incident, date, location and report number when known, and specify whether you need the narrative, arrest record, dispatch notes or another item. Release depends on review and applicable restrictions; a public court case does not make every investigative item automatically available.

The Records Unit is at 15001 E. Alameda Parkway and lists 303-739-6320, option 2. Its current page says processing varies with volume and review. The 2026 schedule lists an $11.50 police-report base charge, additional-page charges after ten pages and $12.50 redaction per fifty pages. The extra-page notation mixes “.25” and a cents symbol, so confirm that unit with the Records Unit rather than assuming a total. CAD/dispatch notes are separately listed at $11.50.

Choose CBI when you need a statewide history

CBI’s Internet Criminal History Check is a separate Colorado history service. Search with the exact first and last name and correct birth date; a Social Security number is optional. The individual terms list $6 per search, including no-result searches, and another $6 for each additional matched record selected. Do not spend extra on candidates whose identity does not fit.

CBI says its data is based on fingerprint submissions by Colorado law enforcement, but the public internet inquiry is name-based. It excludes other states’ and federal database records, sealed records, warrant information and juvenile arrest information. For an official or notarized response on CBI letterhead, the FAQ describes a $13 manual request, up to three business days of processing and subsequent mail delivery. Follow the agency’s prescribed process for regulated employment or licensing instead of assuming a public lookup meets it.

Check the identity and every relevant outcome

Compare the county, court, name, case dates and charge information before connecting a record to a person. Separate charges from convictions and review any dismissal or amended disposition. The municipal docket, police report, state-court register and CBI history each have a different scope; label the product and the search date when keeping the result. None should be described as a complete nationwide history.

If the goal is current detention status, ask the facility holding the person rather than interpreting a court’s hearing calendar as a jail roster. For a recipient needing certified proof, specify the court outcome document and certification before paying for a police narrative or a commercial register printout that may not satisfy the request.

Correct the source that supplied the error

Colorado Judicial directs questions about inaccurate court data to the court where the record was created and filed. For a CBI error, contact the Identification Unit at 303-239-4208; some corrections require written documentation from the arresting agency. Keep the report reference and supporting disposition so the office can identify the disputed entry. Ask for the corrected result and check that the specific error was resolved.
