The Criminal Division of the Denver County Court adjudicates cases involving Colorado Revised Statute violations, including misedemeanors and felonies.

The Criminal Division also hears felony cases through the preliminary hearing stage only.

Denver is building a new Justice Center Complex – the Detention Center and Courthouse. In May 2005, Denver voters approved the bond initiative for the Denver Justice Center Complex. Construction is expected to be complete by December 2009.

There are six basic release options for the Denver area. These options are:

1. Walk Through Bond. If you are in danger of being incarcerated because of a warrant for your arrest, we can help to avoid going to jail by issuing you a "WALK THROUGH BOND".
2. Cash Bail
3. Surety Bond - An alternative to cash bail is a surety bond. This process involves a contractual undertaking guaranteed by an admitted insurance company having adequate assets to satisfy the face value of the bond. The bail agent guarantees to the court that they will pay the bond forfeiture if a defendant fails to appear for their scheduled court appearances. The bail agent’s guarantee is made through a surety company and/or by pledging property owned by the bail agent.
4. Property Bond
5. Release on Personal (Own) Recognizance (P.R.) - Another method of release, pending trial, is through a county or law enforcement administered pre-trial release program. Usually, the employees of these programs interview defendants in custody and make recommendations to the court regarding the release of these individuals on their own recognizance (i.e., without any financial security to insure the defendant’s return).
6. Release on Citation (Cite Out) - This procedure involves the issuance of a citation by the arresting officer to the arrestee, informing the arrestee that he/she must appear in court at an appointed court date.
