Commerce City Criminal History Checks
Start with Commerce City Police for the incident or arrest report and Municipal Court for a city case. ACDF holds an Adams County booking, while the 17th District holds a filed state charge. CBI ICHC is the Colorado repository view. None replaces the others.
- Identify the address, date, agency, and report or summons number.
- Request the source report from Commerce City Police Records.
- Ask Commerce City Municipal Court about city cases and warrants.
- Use Adams County custody and court channels only when venue points there.
- Compare the final court result with CBI ICHC when a Colorado repository record is needed.
Commerce City Corridor Jurisdiction
Freight routes, highways, and the city's industrial setting can involve Commerce City Police, Colorado State Patrol, or a federal agency. Identify who made the stop or report before filing a request. The city cannot release a report created by another agency.
A city ordinance case stays in Municipal Court. A state charge moves to the 17th District. The Adams County criminal history overview supplies the county routes after the custodian is known.
Commerce City Police Records
Police Records is in the Civic Center at 7887 E. 60th Avenue, Commerce City, CO 80022. The counter is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.; call 303-287-2844. Requests should identify the record category, incident date and place, parties, and report number.
The 2026 schedule lists copies at $0.25 plus tax, redaction and search at $0.75 per minute, and statistical generation at $1.13 per minute plus pages. A 50 percent deposit may apply. Confirm the current schedule before ordering broad work.
Commerce City Online Self-Reports
The online self-report route accepts nonemergencies inside city limits when no suspect is known and the event did not occur on a state freeway. Categories include unauthorized-transaction fraud, identity theft, lost property, shoplifting, theft, and vandalism.
After review, the system issues a case number and printable free copy. A replacement report costs $10 and requires identification plus the form or portal. Emergency events, known-suspect reports, and freeway incidents must follow the proper live agency route.
Booking and Arrest Records in Commerce City
Commerce City Police owns the arrest report. ACDF owns a county booking, and the 17th District owns the filed state case. Search the live inmate system, then call Jail Records at 303-655-3490 if the name is gone because release or transfer can change the roster.
Once charges are filed, the court disposition is the best source for the legal outcome. Booking charges can change or be declined. The Adams County arrest search explains the historical jail-record fallback. Note: A booking proves intake, not guilt or a later conviction.
After Commerce City Release
Keep the police incident number and ask ACDF for the historical booking if the live roster is blank. Then use the 17th District case number after state charges are filed. A city report, jail intake, and court disposition are separate documents.
CBI may later show the arrest cycle. If its disposition is unknown, obtain the court's final record and use the CBI correction route instead of rerunning the same name search.
The Commerce City Municipal Court File
Commerce City Municipal Court is also at 7887 E. 60th Avenue. Call 303-289-3640 or email court1@c3gov.com on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Court records are delivered by email. The separate probation line is 303-227-7155.

The police channel holds reports, while the court clerk holds the city docket.
Commerce City Four-Year Retention
Municipal Court destroys records four years after a case closes. If no file remains, the court issues a letter. An empty result therefore may reflect retention rather than proof that the case never existed.
Keep dispositions and case numbers. Police, county, and CBI records follow their own rules, so the city court's response does not control every related record.
How Commerce City Records Reach County
A state-law arrest may create a Commerce City report, an Adams County booking, a 17th District file, and a CBI cycle. Each custodian adds a different part, and the final disposition can arrive well after the report.
Record flow: Commerce City Police › Adams County Courts › Colorado Bureau of Investigation
Use Commerce City for the source report and city case, the county clerk for a filed state charge, and CBI for the repository view. One negative result cannot erase records held elsewhere.
Commerce City Records by Numbers
Official 2025 measures reported 88,988 calls for service, 11,729 crime reports, and 18,831 court customers. Auto theft fell 31.5 percent, and the city recorded 1,139 stolen-vehicle alerts. These figures describe city operations for that year, not convictions or Adams County totals.
The same report listed 649 new probation clients and 603 successful terminations. The measures show the scale of separate police and court workflows, which is why a request must identify the right unit.
Commerce City Custodian Check
A report custodian and a case custodian are not the same. Commerce City Police keeps the event report it creates. Municipal Court keeps a city-code docket. ACDF keeps a county booking, and the 17th District clerk keeps a state prosecution. Colorado State Patrol remains custodian when its trooper made the stop on a state freeway. The first task is to read the agency line on the report or citation.
This distinction also controls the self-report portal. The portal accepts a limited set of nonemergency events with no known suspect, inside city limits, and away from state freeways. It is not a general criminal-history search. Its free printable copy documents the accepted report, while a replacement follows the city's $10 process. If the event later produces an arrest or court case, those later records must be requested from their own custodians. One case number can help connect the trail, but it does not make every related document a city record.
Commerce City Municipal or State Case
The court caption tells whether a charge is municipal or state. Commerce City Municipal Court handles city matters at the Civic Center. A state misdemeanor or felony filed in Adams County goes to the 17th Judicial District. The police department may create the source report in both situations, but it does not become the keeper of the final court outcome.
Use the incident number to request the police file and the court number to request the docket. When a person was booked, keep the booking identifier as well. These three numbers track related records across separate systems. The Municipal Court's four-year destruction rule makes it wise to retain a disposition or the court's no-record letter. A county case can remain under a different retention rule even after the city file is gone.
Probation is another distinct city contact. Commerce City lists 303-227-7155 and probation@c3gov.com, but detailed supervision data should not be presumed public. The docket is the right source for a sentence to probation. The probation office handles the supervision function. A successful termination measure in the city's annual report is an aggregate count, not proof of any named person's status.
Commerce City Report Trail
A newly accepted self-report begins with a Commerce City case number and printable copy. Preserve both. If an officer follows up or a suspect becomes known, ask Police Records whether the event produced added material. If an arrest follows, search the correct booking custodian. If charges are filed, record the new court number rather than treating the police number as a docket key.
The city clerk is a fallback for ordinary municipal public records, not a universal criminal-record desk. The City Clerk can be reached at 303-289-3611 or divisionCMCityClerk@c3gov.com. Police reports stay with Police Records, and court files stay with Municipal Court. Sending a precise request to the correct unit limits delay and search charges.
Commerce City figures also need labels. Calls for service, crime reports, stolen-vehicle alerts, court customers, and probation clients measure different activity. None is a conviction total. Cite the reporting year and city source, and do not combine the measures into a county crime rate.
Commerce City Record Access Rules
Colorado criminal-record law applies to records made or kept by Commerce City Police. Custodians can protect victim data, juvenile files, sealed matters, active investigations, and security-sensitive content. Court records follow Judicial Branch access rules; other city administrative records may follow CORA.
Key Statutes:
CCJRA, C.R.S. §§ 24-72-301 through 309 governs criminal-justice records and custodian review.
C.R.S. § 24-72-303 states the inspection principle for public criminal-justice records.
CORA, C.R.S. §§ 24-72-200.1 through 205.5 covers other public records.
A focused request names the date, place, report number, record type, and desired format. Send it to the creator. Adams County does not become custodian of a Commerce City Police report, and the city cannot release a State Patrol file.
