Checking Criminal History in Wray
Start with Wray Police when the event happened inside city jurisdiction. Ask Municipal Court about a city ordinance citation. Use Yuma County Combined Court for state misdemeanors or felonies, and contact the holding agency for custody. The CBI Internet Criminal History Check is a later Colorado-wide name-search layer, not a police narrative or complete court file.
- Identify Wray Police, the sheriff, or Colorado State Patrol as the originating agency.
- Request the report with the event date, place, report number, person, and media sought.
- Check Wray Municipal Court for a city-code case or warrant.
- Search Combined Court for state charges after filing time has passed.
- Use CBI for a statewide summary and reported disposition.
Each step answers a different question. A no-result response may reflect timing, spelling, access limits, or the wrong office.
Two Wray Criminal Courts
Wray is both a city and the county seat. Its Municipal Court hears Wray ordinance cases. The Colorado Judicial Branch runs Yuma County Combined Court for state cases. The two courts can sit in the same community without sharing one case index.
| Wray channel | Cases | Record route |
|---|---|---|
| Municipal Court | City ordinance matters | City clerk or municipal court |
| County Court | State misdemeanors and traffic | Combined Court, Suite L |
| District Court | State felonies | Combined Court, Suite L |
A police report also remains with Wray Police after a related state case is filed. Requesting only the docket can miss the officer's narrative and media.
Wray Police Department Records
Wray Police is distinct from the Yuma County Sheriff. The official Wray Police Department page is the local starting point for city reports. No public police database or arrest log was confirmed. Send a specific request instead of a broad name-only demand.
Include the event date and time, location, accident or case number, involved party, exact record or media, and delivery format. Those fields help staff find the right file and estimate review work. Active investigations, juvenile material, victim details, and safety-sensitive content may be restricted.
Wray's official 2025 schedule lists concrete city fees: $3 for an accident or case report, $20 per hour for research after the first hour, $25 for a thumb drive holding digital footage or data, and $20 per hour for redaction. These are city charges, not county fees.
Wray Police Video Costs
A request for body-camera video, other digital footage, or data can involve more than a copy price. The city schedule separates the $25 thumb drive from redaction time at $20 per hour. Research beyond one hour also costs $20 per hour. Ask for an estimate and describe the event narrowly.
Redaction removes information the city cannot lawfully release, such as protected victim or juvenile details. It does not mean the event lacked a record. A focused time range and clear media description can reduce uncertainty about what staff must review.
Note: Wray's fee schedule does not set prices for Yuma Police, the sheriff, Combined Court, or CBI.
Wray Arrests and Bookings
A Wray arrest first creates a city police record. If the person is booked, a separate jail intake file records current charges, bond, fingerprints, and custody data that can lawfully be released. The prosecutor may later file changed charges, and the court records the outcome. Arrest does not prove guilt.
Current Yuma County materials direct inquiries about people housed at the Washington County Justice Center in Akron. The county access chain includes MobilePatrol, 970-332-0923 for Yuma inmate information, 970-332-4805 for the sheriff, and 970-345-2244 for Washington County. Verify current custody with the holding agency.
The VINELink notification network can supplement a custody check where an agency reports.
The service does not show the police narrative or replace the court's final disposition.
Reading Wray Crime Records
The 2020 Census counted 2,358 Wray residents. In a city of that size, a small raw change can create a large percentage. Use the official CBI Colorado Crime Statistics portal only after filtering to Wray Police and a stated year.
Record whether a figure means incidents, offenses, arrests, or clearances. These measures are not interchangeable. Multi-year comparisons should show raw counts alongside rates and use the same definition throughout. A single rise or fall does not explain why police or court files changed.
Wray's population and role as county seat can also bring nonresident court traffic into town. Police agency counts and courthouse caseload are different datasets.
Municipal Court Records in Wray
Wray Municipal Court handles city ordinance matters. Contact the city at 245 West 4th Street and verify the current clerk telephone number on the live city directory before visiting. No public municipal case database was confirmed.
| Court Name | Wray Municipal Court |
|---|---|
| Case Types Heard | Wray ordinance violations and related municipal matters |
| Case Lookup Channel | City or municipal clerk request; no public database confirmed |
| What the File Shows | Citation, hearing activity, warrant status where public, and disposition |
| Copies & Fees | Confirm municipal court costs with the city; police report fees are a separate schedule item |
A municipal warrant may require the city clerk, while a bench warrant in a state case belongs with Combined Court. Use the citation or case number to distinguish them.
Wray State Cases in Suite L
Combined Court is at 310 Ash Street, Suite L, Wray, CO 80758. Its phone is 970-592-6120. Public hours are Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to noon and 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., and Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The lunch closure matters for a counter visit.
The Yuma-filtered Judicial Branch docket search can locate scheduled activity by district, county, court type, date, case number, party, or attorney.
The docket is a calendar, not a full document archive or proof of the final result. Ask Suite L for the register of actions or named public filing.
Where Wray Records Go
A city arrest can produce a Wray Police report, an Akron custody record, and a state case at Combined Court. Court disposition data may later return to CBI and match the arrest cycle. An ordinance citation remains within the municipal route.
Record flow: Wray Police Department › Yuma County Combined Court › Colorado Bureau of Investigation
Use recent local records first. Use the Yuma County arrest lookup routes for custody detail, the court for filed charges, and CBI for a broader Colorado summary. A record at one stage cannot answer every question from another.
Wray Registration Record Fees
Wray's 2025 schedule lists $25 for initial sex-offender registration and $5 for annual registration. Those fees apply to Wray's city process and must not be assigned to the sheriff or Yuma Police. Confirm the proper registration office for the person's address before visiting.
The public Colorado registry is not a complete list of every registrant. Its online categories omit misdemeanor-only registrants and juvenile adjudications. Registration records held by the local agency and the CBI public website therefore have different scopes.
Use the official registry for community awareness and follow its lawful-use limits. Local fee information does not grant access to protected records. CBI also accepts an adult registered sex offender list request by mail under a separate fee process. It does not accept that form by fax or email. The mailed product and the online website have different statutory coverage, so state which source supplied the information.
Requesting Wray Police Video
Wray's published prices make planning a media request easier, but a requester still needs to define the event. Provide the case number when known, date and time, location, involved person, and the kind of footage or data sought. A body-camera request should identify the officer or contact when that detail is available. A narrow period helps the city locate responsive material and estimate how much review and redaction the release may require.
The $25 thumb-drive charge covers the stated digital delivery medium. Redaction is listed at $20 per hour, and research beyond the first hour is also $20 per hour. Those items can apply separately. Ask the city to explain an estimate before authorizing work, especially when several cameras or a long event are involved. The $3 accident or case report may answer an immediate question while a larger video request is processed.
Written reports and video do not present the event in the same way. The officer's narrative records observations, statements, and investigative steps. A camera records only what fell within its view and recording period. Dispatch or other digital data can add another time line. Differences among them do not automatically prove that one record is wrong. Compare their creation time, purpose, and scope.
Protected victim information, juvenile details, active-investigation content, and security-sensitive facts may be redacted or withheld. Ask whether a public portion can be separated when the whole file cannot be released. Keep the original request and response. They identify which Wray Police source was searched and whether the release is complete, redacted, or limited to a specified time span.
Wray Municipal Warrant Records
A warrant connected to a Wray ordinance case can remain in the municipal system, while a warrant tied to a Colorado misdemeanor or felony belongs to Combined Court. Start with the citation or case number. If its format or caption identifies a city ordinance, contact the municipal clerk. If it identifies County Court or District Court, contact Suite L at the courthouse.
No verified public county-wide warrant interface was found. Someone resolving their own possible warrant should ask the issuing court or counsel for current appearance and bond instructions rather than relying on a web search. Once a warrant is recalled, allow time for linked law-enforcement systems to update and verify the status with the court that issued it.
Wray Fingerprint Record Layer
People reviewing their own official fingerprint-based history use Colorado Applicant Background Services through a CBI-approved vendor. Vendor collection charges are separate from CBI's published $16.50 state fingerprint-search charge for a public-record, nonlicensed request under CRS 24-72-304.
The IdentoGO Colorado location directory provides one approved appointment route.
A fingerprint result is tied to identity more firmly than a name search, but it still does not supply Wray Police narrative files or every court document.
Public Access Rules in Wray
The Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act governs access to Wray police and criminal justice records. CORA applies to many other city records. Judicial Branch rules govern state court files. Wray may review and redact protected victim, juvenile, security, and active-investigation details before release.
Key Statutes:
CCJRA, CRS 24-72-301 through 309 sets the criminal justice records framework.
CORA, CRS 24-72-201 through 206 governs many noncriminal city records.
CRS 19-1-301 restricts juvenile law-enforcement records.
Send the request to the office that created the record. A city request does not automatically reach the sheriff or Combined Court, even when all are based in Wray.
Keep the request, estimate, and response together. Digital footage may use a different format and retention schedule from the report. Ask whether a written report can be produced first if video requires more review. A protected portion does not always prevent release of a redacted public part.
A name match is not identity proof. Compare the Wray agency, report or case number, date, and lawful identifiers. Booking, court, and CBI records can update at different speeds. An apparent conflict may simply show a later stage of the same event.
When CBI shows an unknown disposition, obtain certified court material and follow its correction process. Correcting data and sealing a case are separate Colorado procedures. Neither a city fee nor a search result decides sealing eligibility.
Wray also sits at the center of county government, but physical closeness does not merge custodians. Municipal staff, Wray Police, Combined Court, probation, and county officers each answer only for records under their legal control.
