Arapahoe County Detention Facility: Bail Bond Process
The Arapahoe County Detention Facility (ACDF) is the primary jail serving Centennial and all of Arapahoe County. When a person is arrested in Centennial or any unincorporated area of Arapahoe County, they are transported to ACDF for booking, processing, and bail determination.
The bail bond process at ACDF follows this sequence:
- Arrest and transport — The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office or local law enforcement makes the arrest and transports the individual to ACDF at 7375 S. Potomac St., Centennial, CO 80112.
- Booking — Fingerprinting, photographing, and criminal history check are completed. This process typically takes 2–6 hours.
- Bail hearing or schedule bail — A judge sets bail based on the charges, criminal history, and flight risk. For many non-violent offenses, a scheduled bail amount is set automatically.
- Contact Express Bail Bonds — Call (720) 984-2245 at any time. We gather the defendant’s full name, date of birth, and booking number, then begin the paperwork immediately.
- Bond posted — We post the surety bond at ACDF on your behalf. Once the bond is accepted, the release process begins.
- Release — Release from ACDF typically takes 2–6 hours after the bond is posted, depending on facility workload.
Express Bail Bonds handles every step of this process. You do not need to navigate ACDF alone.

Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office Arrests and Booking
The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office is the primary law enforcement agency for unincorporated Arapahoe County and the City of Centennial. The Sheriff’s Office conducts arrests, patrols, and investigations throughout the county and transports all arrestees to the Arapahoe County Detention Facility.
Cases originating from Arapahoe County Sheriff arrests are prosecuted in the 18th Judicial District, which covers Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert, and Lincoln counties. The district courthouse for Arapahoe County is:
Arapahoe County District Court7325 S. Potomac St., Centennial, CO 80112
This courthouse sits just one block from ACDF, and it is where felony charges and serious misdemeanor cases are heard. Express Bail Bonds works within the 18th Judicial District daily and understands how bail is structured for both misdemeanor and felony-level arrests made by the Arapahoe County Sheriff.
If your loved one was arrested by the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, call us immediately at (720) 984-2245. We can confirm their booking status, verify the bail amount, and begin the bond process without delay.
Centennial Has No Municipal Court — Here’s What That Means for You
Many people are surprised to learn that Centennial, Colorado has no municipal jail and no municipal court of its own. Centennial is Colorado’s newest city, incorporated in 2001, and it contracts with Arapahoe County for law enforcement, detention, and court services rather than operating its own facilities.
Here is what this means practically:
- All Centennial arrests are processed at the Arapahoe County Detention Facility (ACDF) — not a Centennial city jail, because one does not exist.
- All Centennial criminal cases are heard in Arapahoe County courts, not a Centennial municipal court.
- The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office provides law enforcement for Centennial under a service contract.
- Bail is set under Arapahoe County and Colorado state guidelines, not Centennial city ordinances.
This is a meaningful distinction if you are searching for information about a loved one’s arrest. Searching “Centennial jail” or “Centennial city court” will not return accurate results. The correct facility is ACDF at 7375 S. Potomac St., Centennial, CO 80112, and the correct court is Arapahoe County District Court.
Express Bail Bonds knows this system thoroughly. We will find your loved one, confirm their status, and move quickly to secure their release. Call (720) 984-2245 anytime, day or night.
