If someone is arrested in Arapahoe County, they will usually be processed at the Arapahoe County Detention Facility in Centennial. Once bail is set, you have two options: pay the full amount in cash, or work with a licensed bondsman for only a fraction of the cost.
What makes Arapahoe unique is that it was one of the first jails in Colorado to implement a completely online system for bail agents to post bond. This innovation has made the process significantly faster compared to other counties, allowing us to submit paperwork electronically without waiting in long lines.
Even with this system, the jail can still be busy and unpredictable. That’s why it’s always best to start the bond process as early as possible. With our experience and direct online access, we can often move the process forward more quickly.
Here’s how it works:
- Call us 24/7 – We gather case details and confirm bond eligibility.
- Easy online approval – You complete all paperwork securely from your phone or computer.
- We post the bond online – Using Arapahoe’s electronic system, which speeds up the process.
- Release from jail – Processing is usually quicker here, but timing still depends on jail staff and volume.
