The Denver County Jail is the largest single county jail in the Rocky Mountain region. The County Jail Division is responsible for the long term care and custody of prisoners and is the holding facility for convicted felons awaiting transfer to the Colorado Department of Corrections, sentenced misdemeanant prisoners and prisoners awaiting trial.
The Downtown Division Pre-Arraignment Detention Facility (PADF) is the prisoner intake center. Prisoners are processed into the system, booked, finger printed, and temporarily housed until such a time that they are able to make bond, or have been given an advisement by the court.
The duties of the Civil Division are widely varied. They include, but are not limited to service of civil process, sale of real and personal property under court order and execution of court ordered evictions.
This Division is responsible for the Department's overall administration and special projects. The Division is also responsible for the implementation of all new projects directly affecting the Denver Sheriff Department.
