Kiowa County offices and records
Sheriff & Law Enforcement. Kiowa County Sheriff's Office is responsible for maintaining law and order throughout Kiowa County, particularly in unincorporated areas.
Police Departments. In addition to Kiowa County Sheriff's Office, law enforcement in Kiowa County is supported by municipal police departments in towns like Eads.
Law Enforcement & Arrests. Kiowa County Sheriff's Office, headquartered at 1305 Goff Street in Eads, Colorado 81036, is the primary law enforcement agency for Kiowa County's unincorporated areas and provides support to municipal jurisdictions. Kiowa County Jail, a small detention facility located adjacent to the Sheriff's Office, houses inmates awaiting trial or serving short-term sentences. Municipal law enforcement in Kiowa County is minimal due to the small population; the town of Eads, Kiowa County's only incorporated county of significance, relies primarily on the Sheriff's Office for law enforcement services rather than maintaining a separate municipal police department. Arrest records and booking information are public records under the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act (C.R.S. § 24-72-101 et seq.) and the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA, C.R.S. § 24-72-201 et seq.).
Arrest Records. Arrest records in Kiowa County are maintained by Kiowa County Sheriff's Office. Residents and attorneys can request arrest records by contacting the Sheriff's Office directly.
Jail & Inmate Records. Kiowa County Jail, operated by Kiowa County Sheriff's Office, is the primary detention facility in Kiowa County. Inmate lookup services are available through the Sheriff's Office, allowing family members and legal representatives to locate individuals currently held in custody.
Mugshots & Booking Photos. Mugshots in Kiowa County are taken and retained by Kiowa County Sheriff's Office during the booking process. These booking photos are part of the arrest records and may be accessed through the Sheriff's Office or online databases, depending on availability. While the Sheriff's Office may provide access to mugshots, third-party websites might also offer lookup services.

Is an old working under a property here?
The mine records hold 27 named mine sites inside the county, 13 of them worked out or abandoned; the old survey maps add 35 holes drawn inside the county, 0 of them shafts or tunnels. The mineral the records name is construction sand and gravel.
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.
