Anyone requesting a police or accident report is required to complete a Records Access Request form or agree to the terms online. Colorado State Statute, C.R.S. 24-72-305.5 requires anyone requesting a report must sign an acknowledgement that the requested information in the report will not be used for the direct solicitation of business for pecuniary gain. If this statement is not signed, the statute requires that the request for the record be denied.

Records Check for backgrounds, criminal history, or arrests, in the State of Colorado

Please contact the Colorado Bureau of Investigation through one of the below listed options. A request through Wheat Ridge Police Records will only give arrests made in the City of Wheat Ridge. We cannot release backgrounds or criminal histories.

Internet Search: 

Visit www.cbirecordscheck.com. Search for arrests ONLY in Colorado, based on full name and date of birth. Arrests not supported by fingerprints will not be included in this database. Additionally, warrant information, sealed records and juvenile records are not available to the public. This Internet search is not as complete and detailed as the Name Searches option listed below. A MasterCard or VISA is required to conduct a background search on this secured site.

In-Person Name Searches:  

The search is conducted of CBI files using full name and date of birth and is more complete than the Internet Search (see above). This searches only records of arrest in Colorado for which fingerprints have been sent to the CBI. You must go to Colorado Bureau of Investigations, 690 Kipling St., Suite 3000 to make this request in person.
