Bond Information

Bonding an Inmate Out Using Cash or Credit Card

If you are posting an inmate's bond, please have the exact bond amount in cash. Detention Center staff will be unable to provide change if you bring more than the bond, and excess funds may be added to the inmate account to pay any outstanding debt they have.  

You may also pay bonds using credit or debit card payments through AllPaid. Payments can be made with a major credit, debit, or prepaid debit card, including:

Payments can be made for:

  • Bonds
  • Bond Fees
  • Detention Fees

To make a payment, you will need the following:

  • Location (Broomfield Police Detention Center) and Location Code (PLC #a003fz)
  • Payment Amount
  • Name of person for whom payment is being paid

The cardholder acknowledges that he/she relinquishes any claim to these funds and understands and agrees that these funds will become the property of the defendant. Furthermore, the cardholder understands that upon disposition of the charges/cases against the defendant, any funds ordered returned by the court will be returned to the defendant and not the cardholder.

Bonding an Inmate Out Using a Bail Bondsman

A licensed bail bondsman may also be used to post an inmate's bond. The bail bondsman will charge you a fee for their service, which is in addition to the bonding fee and booking fee described above.  The Broomfield Detention Center cannot solicit business to specific bail bond companies, you will need to research a bondsman online who can assist you.

Legal Rights Related to Posting Money Bond - Pursuant to House Bill 21-1280

  1. Bond fees, booking fees, and other fees or debts never need to be paid to secure a person's release on money bond. A payor need only pay the bond amount in order to secure release.
  2. While never a basis to hold a defendant in jail, the following fees are chargeable as a debt to the defendant after release if the payor chooses not to pay the fees at the time of bonding: a $10 bond fee and a maximum 3.5% credit card payment fee. no other bond-related fees may be charged at any time, including any kiosk fees or fees for payment by cash, check, or money order.
  3. Bond payments are to be made out to the holding county and are never to be made out in the name of the incarcerated person.
  4. A sheriff must release a defendant within six hours after a personal recognizance bond is set and the defendant has returned to jail or within six hours after a cash bond has been set and the defendant has returned to jail and the defendant or surety notified the jail that bond is prepared to be posted, unless extraordinary circumstances exist. In the event of a delay of more than six hours, a surety and the defendant have a right to know what, if any, extraordinary circumstance is causing the delay. Supervisory conditions of release do not justify a delay in release; except that a sheriff may hold a defendant for up to 24 hours if necessary to ensure a defendant is fitted with required electronic monitoring.
  5. Anyone who posts a money bond has the right to receive a copy of the bond paperwork, including documentation of the next upcoming court date.
  6. A surety may never be asked to use posted bond money to pay a defendant's debts. Only when defendants have posted their own money bond may they be asked if they would like to voluntarily relinquish bond money to pay their debts. Relinquishment of bond money by a defendant to pay a debt is never required and is entirely a voluntary choice by the defendant.
