The Fremont County jail roster is a publicly available record of individuals currently held at the Fremont County Detention Center in Cañon City, Colorado. FremontCOCourt.us can help you find publicly available information about current and recent inmates. You can also access jail roster information through the Fremont County Sheriff's Office website, by calling the detention center directly, or by visiting the jail lobby in person.

Maintained by the Fremont County Sheriff's Office, the roster is hosted on the agency's CRIMEWATCH-powered website and is updated regularly to reflect current custody status.
Search Current Inmates in Fremont Jail
There are several ways to search for someone currently held at the Fremont County Detention Center.
Online Search
- Visit FremontCOCourt.us to search publicly available court and inmate information.
- Go to the Fremont County Sheriff's Office page and look for the Inmate Locator link under the Detention Center section.
- The inmate locator typically displays a browsable list of current inmates. You can use your browser's find function (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) to locate a specific name if no dedicated search field is available.
To search, you will generally need:
- The individual's full legal name (first and last)
- A booking number, if known
Juvenile offenders are not listed on the public roster.
By Phone
Call the Fremont County Detention Center to ask about a specific individual's custody status. Staff can confirm whether someone is currently booked into the facility.
In Person
You can visit the jail lobby during business hours to inquire about current inmates.
For court-related case information, the Fremont Combined Court is located at 136 Justice Center Rd, Canon City, CO. The Clerk's Office is closed daily from 12:00–12:30 p.m. for lunch.
Find Fremont Jail Booking Records Online
A booking record is created each time an individual is processed into the Fremont County Detention Center. This happens after an arrest or when someone is remanded into custody by the court.
Information generated at booking typically includes:
- Booking number
- Date and time of booking
- Charges at the time of intake
- Arresting agency (Fremont County Sheriff's Office, Cañon City Police, Colorado State Patrol, etc.)
- Bond amount, if set
Current booking records are generally viewable through the sheriff's office Inmate Locator. For older or more detailed records not available on the public roster, you may need to submit a records request directly to the detention center. Court records tied to a booking — such as case filings, docket entries, and dispositions — can be searched through the Colorado Judicial Branch Docket Search by selecting Fremont Combined Court. You can also submit a formal Record/Document Request Form through the Colorado Judicial Branch for court documents that are not available online.
Search the Fremont Jail Roster by Last Name or Booking Number
The Fremont County jail roster supports two primary search approaches:
Search by Last Name
- Open the inmate locator through the sheriff's office website.
- If a search field is provided, enter the individual's last name. You may also add a first name to narrow results.
- If the roster displays as a full list, use your browser's built-in search (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) and type the last name.
Search by Booking Number
If you already have a booking number — from a bail bondsman, attorney, or prior lookup — enter it directly into the search field if one is available, or scan the roster list for a matching number.
Tips for Better Results
- Use the individual's full legal name, not nicknames or aliases.
- Double-check spelling. A single wrong letter can cause a search to return no results.
- If a partial name search is supported, try entering just the last name first.
- Hyphenated or multi-part last names may be listed under either component.
If the Search Returns No Results
- The person may have already been released or transferred.
- Booking may still be in progress — there is often a delay between arrest and the record appearing on the roster.
- The individual may be held at a different facility (municipal jail, state prison, or federal custody).
- Call the detention center directly at (719) 276-5555 to confirm custody status.
Jail Roster Updates and Search Limitations in Fremont
The Fremont County jail roster is updated regularly, but it does not refresh in real time. There is typically a lag between when someone is booked into or released from the detention center and when that change appears on the public roster. During high-volume booking periods — weekends, holidays, or after large operations — delays may be longer.
Key Limitations to Keep in Mind
| Limitation | What It Means for Users |
|---|---|
| Booking-to-posting delay | A newly arrested individual may not appear on the roster for several hours after intake. |
| Post-release removal | Once someone is released, their record is typically removed from the roster shortly after. The roster is not a permanent archive. |
| Current custody only | The roster reflects who is in the detention center right now — not a historical log of all past bookings. |
| Data entry variations | Names may be entered differently than expected (middle names, suffixes, legal vs. preferred names). |
| Restricted records | Juvenile records, sealed cases, and certain sensitive bookings will not appear on the public roster. |
If you need historical booking information or records for someone no longer in custody, contact the Fremont County Sheriff's Office directly or search the Colorado Judicial Branch Courts Records Search for related court filings. The Fremont County Clerk and Recorder may also assist with certain public record inquiries, though jail-specific records are maintained by the sheriff's office.
