Baca County offices and records
Sheriff & Law Enforcement. Baca County Sheriff's Office is responsible for law enforcement across the unincorporated areas of Baca County.
Police Departments. In addition to Baca County Sheriff's Office, law enforcement in Baca County is supported by municipal police departments, including the Springfield Police Department. These agencies have jurisdiction within their respective towns and work in coordination with the Sheriff's Office on major crimes and regional safety initiatives.
Law Enforcement & Arrests. Law enforcement in Baca County, Colorado, is primarily provided by Baca County Sheriff's Office, headquartered in Springfield at Baca County Courthouse complex, 741 Main Street, Springfield, CO 81073. Baca County Sheriff is an elected official responsible for patrol, investigations, court security, and operation of Baca County detention facility. Baca County Jail, a small detention facility located adjacent to the Sheriff's Office, houses inmates awaiting trial or serving short sentences. Inmate information and jail roster inquiries can be obtained by contacting the Sheriff's Office directly during business hours; Baca County does not currently maintain a full online inmate lookup system due to its small size. Springfield, Baca County seat and largest county, does not maintain a separate municipal police department; law enforcement services are provided county-wide by the Sheriff's Office. Arrest records in Baca County are considered public records under the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act (C.R.S. §24-72-301 et seq.) and the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA), codified at C.R.S. §24-72-200.1 et seq.

Is an old working under a property here?
The mine records hold 28 named mine sites inside the county, 28 of them worked out or abandoned; the old survey maps add 82 holes drawn inside the county, 7 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are Copper; construction sand and gravel; Gold.
A point in either file is a location, not a property line: the sheet shows the opening on the surface, not the rooms under it. The record that shows what runs under a parcel is the mine map. The OSMRE National Mine Map Repository holds scanned underground mine maps and answers requests for a named mine or an area. Colorado's cover is a protection program run by DRMS, not an insurance policy sold by insurers.
