Aurora City Jail: What to Expect After Arrest
When Aurora Police Department (APD) officers make an arrest, the person is typically transported to the Aurora City Jail, located at 15001 E. Alameda Pkwy, Aurora, CO 80012. This facility handles initial booking for most Aurora arrests. During booking, officers collect personal information, take fingerprints and photographs, conduct a background check, and formally log the charges. Booking typically takes 2 to 6 hours. Once complete, a bail amount is set through a standard bond schedule or by a judge at a first appearance hearing. The sooner you contact a licensed bondsman after an Aurora arrest, the faster we can begin the release process. Our team at Express Bail Bonds monitors the Aurora detention system around the clock so we can act the moment bail is set.
Posting Bond at the Aurora Detention Center
Once bail is established, Express Bail Bonds can post a surety bond. A surety bail bond typically requires a premium of 10% of the total bail amount – set by Colorado state law – which is non-refundable. To post bond at the Aurora Detention Center, we need the full legal name of the person in custody, their date of birth, and the booking number if available. Once we have these details, our bondsman will complete the paperwork and coordinate directly with facility staff to process the release. In most cases, release from the Aurora City Jail occurs within 2 to 4 hours of bond being posted. For larger bail amounts, we offer flexible payment plans. Call (720) 984-2245 any time.
Aurora Cases in Arapahoe County vs. Adams County
One of the most important facts about Aurora is that the city spans two separate counties: Arapahoe County to the south and Adams County to the north and east. Which county an arrest falls in determines where the defendant will be held and which court handles their case. If an arrest occurs in south Aurora, the case falls under Arapahoe County jurisdiction. Defendants may be transferred to the Arapahoe County Detention Facility at 7375 S. Potomac St., Centennial, CO 80112, and their hearings will be in the 18th Judicial District. If an arrest occurs in north or east Aurora, the case falls under Adams County jurisdiction, with transfers to the Adams County Detention Facility at 150 N. 19th Ave, Brighton, CO 80601. Express Bail Bonds handles both Arapahoe County and Adams County Aurora cases. We know both systems, both facilities, and how to navigate the handoff between them. If you are unsure which county applies, call us at (720) 984-2245. For more information, visit our dedicated Adams County Bail Bonds and Arapahoe County Bail Bonds pages.
Aurora Police Department Arrests and the Booking Process
The Aurora Police Department is the primary law enforcement agency for arrests within Aurora city limits, covering over 154 square miles. After an APD arrest, booking at Aurora City Jail follows a structured sequence: identity verification, property inventory, fingerprinting, photographing, medical screening, and charge processing. Express Bail Bonds can begin working on your case even before booking is complete. As soon as you call us with a name and a general description of the arrest, we start gathering information and preparing paperwork so we are ready to move the moment bail is set.
