Arapahoe County Bail Bonds

Arapahoe County Bail Bonds

Arapahoe County Bail Bond Services:

The judge may set bail for you if you’re arrested and jailed for a crime. This means that, by posting a cash bond, you promise the court to return on a given date for a hearing. If you fail to appear, you may forfeit the money. Often, the amount of bail set by the court appears considerable. Much of this depends on the seriousness of the crime for which you’ve been charged, guilty or not, but it gives you the opportunity to get back onto the street and pursue your normal activities until the date of the hearing.

Since the courts are usually very busy and the court date for your hearing may be distant, perhaps even months, you naturally prefer to post bond and get back to work rather than languish in a jail cell for a considerable time. – Another factor to keep in mind is that you can’t build your defense while sitting in a jail cell. You need to have the freedom of the outside world to be able to establish a defense for your case! Don’t sit rotting in a jail cell when you don’t have to.

The laws governing bail and defendants in the State of Colorado are clear and fair.

Other fees may also be involved, and they’re there to protect both the rights of you (the defendant) and the rights (as well as the responsibilities) of the bonding agent.

For this reason, you may be asked for collateral such as real property or other items of agreed-upon value to secure the amount of the bond. When bail is as high as $50,000 or even much higher, no bonding agent can afford to take such losses and remain in business.

Arapahoe County is historically considered the oldest county in Colorado. It is often referred to as Colorado’s first county, and it is even older than the Colorado territory.  Arapahoe was named after a native American tribe which used to reside in the region. Arapahoe, when translated, means “ tattooed on the chest.” This was a practice of the original native American tribes in that area.

The subsequent formation of the county can be attributed to the Pike’s Peak Goldrush, where miners, fortune seekers, and their families decided to form what would become a county.  Arapahoe was part of Kansas territory then.

The Sheriff’s Department of Arapahoe could be considered the oldest Sheriff’s Department in Colorado, much older than that of Denver.

Brief History

Congress passed an act organizing the Territory of Colorado on February 28, 1861.  The Colorado Territorial Assembly organized the original counties of Colorado, including a new Arapahoe County. The vast area of original Arapahoe County covered almost the whole of what is currently North Eastern Colorado.

E.W. Wynkoop was appointed by Governor Denver of the Territory of Kansas Arapahoe County in 1858 to serve as Arapahoe County’s first Sheriff. At that time, the County seat was in Denver.

In 1902, Arapahoe was divided into several counties, as well as the City of Denver. Arapahoe was then called South Arapahoe. Eventually, the term “South” was removed and became once again known as Arapahoe. A Courthouse and a jail were constructed at Littleton, and a sheriff was appointed. Hence, that was how Arapahoe became a County with 2 Sheriffs.
