In addition, the number of instances of property crimes includes 3,443 burglaries, the theft of 365 motor vehicles, and 214 instances of fraud.

In comparison to the 2013 crime statistics released by the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office, the trend of crime in the county indicates that murder (200 percent) as well as rape (131 percent) and burglary (76.7%), robbery (76.7 %)) and aggravated attack (8.4 percent) rates increased.

Criminal Records

The records of CBI include arrest records supplied by local police departments across the state. It also offers fingerprint-based criminal history checks. People can select its Personal Search option to conduct a fast search or an account user option to sign up on the website. The CBI has a non-refundable cost of $6.85 per search.

You can browse the Colorado Sex Offender Registry by name, address, address, or zip code. You must choose Arapahoe from the list of counties for a search that is restricted to that county. Its Sexual offender Tracking and Registration (SOTAR) portal is an alternative resource offered through the Sheriff's Office.
