The Broomfield Detention is a detention center located at 11600 Ridge Pkwy Broomfield, CO which is operated locally by the Broomfield County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Broomfield County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Broomfield Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.

The Broomfield Police Department Detention Center & Training Facility was developed following Broomfield's transition to becoming Colorado's 64th county in 1998. Prior to this change, Broomfield police officers had to process arrestees at a holding facility before transporting them to one of four county jails in Adams, Boulder, Jefferson, or Weld counties, which was inefficient and resource-intensive. The approval of Amendment C in 1998 paved the way for Broomfield to establish its own detention center.

By November 15, 2001, the Broomfield Detention Center opened its doors, initially designed to house 80 inmates in a 53,075-square-foot facility. In 2010, it was expanded to 79,325 square feet with a capacity to house up to 218 inmates. The center was carefully designed in collaboration with nearby neighborhoods to minimize the impact on the community. For example, visible portions of the building resemble typical office structures with no bars, chain link fences, or barbed wire in sight, and official vehicles are parked away from public view.

Inmate Release and Transportation Policies

To address community concerns about released arrestees or inmates wandering in local neighborhoods, Broomfield implemented a transportation policy. Released inmates are not permitted to leave the facility on foot. Instead, if they do not have personal transportation, officers may drive them back to the location of their arrest or to a nearby RTD Park N Ride. Alternatively, the RTD Call N Ride service can transport them to their desired location.

Connect with your Inmate

The camp offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.

Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. The Jail enforces this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.

Programming to Reduce Recidivism

The Broomfield Detention Center has also focused on breaking the cycle of crime through collaborative educational programming. These programs, often run in partnership with other Broomfield departments such as the library, aim to equip incarcerated individuals with new skills that can modify behavior and aid in reintegration into society. Research has shown that such educational programs reduce recidivism and contribute to safer communities. The facility offers various classes including:

  • Creative writing and poetry
  • Confident parenting classes
  • Hands-on maker skills
  • Education on voting rights for former offenders
  • Job readiness training
  • Community arts projects

These programs aim to provide inmates with valuable life skills that will aid in their rehabilitation and transition back into the community, ultimately reducing repeat offenses and promoting public safety.

Community-Centered Design and Operation

The Broomfield Detention Center’s design and operational policies reflect the city's commitment to integrating the facility into the community in a way that prioritizes both safety and neighborhood aesthetics. Through compromises and multiple town meetings, Broomfield successfully addressed citizen concerns while building a modern, operationally efficient facility to serve the county's needs for years to come.
