Washington County offices and records
Sheriff & Law Enforcement. Washington County Sheriff's Office is responsible for maintaining law and order throughout Washington County, particularly in unincorporated areas.
Police Departments. In addition to Washington County Sheriff's Office, law enforcement in Washington County is supported by municipal police departments, including the Akron Police Department and the Otis Police Department. These agencies are responsible for maintaining public safety within their respective town limits, handling local ordinances, and coordinating with the Sheriff's Office on larger investigations.
Law Enforcement & Arrests. Washington County Sheriff's Office, CO 80720, provides primary law enforcement services throughout Washington County's unincorporated areas and contracts with several municipalities. The office maintains a small detention facility for pre-trial detainees and those serving short sentences; inmate information can be obtained by calling the Sheriff's Office directly during business hours, as Washington County does not maintain an online inmate roster due to its small jail population. Within Washington County, the Town of Akron maintains a local police presence that works cooperatively with the Sheriff's Office. Arrest records and booking information 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, C.R.S. 24-72-201 et seq.).
Arrest Records. Arrest records in Washington County are maintained by Washington County Sheriff's Office. Residents and attorneys can request access to arrest records by contacting the Sheriff's Office directly, in compliance with the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA).
Jail & Inmate Records. Inmate lookup services are available through the Sheriff's Office, allowing family members and legal representatives to find information about detainees.
Mugshots & Booking Photos. Mugshots in Washington County are taken and retained by Washington County Sheriff's Office during the booking process. These booking photos are part of the arrest records and can be accessed through official channels provided by the Sheriff's Office.

Is an old working under a property here?

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.
