Beware of jury duty phone scams! The community is urged to be vigilant regarding an active telephone impersonation scam. These scams typically occur in the form of a phone call, where an individual impersonates someone from the local sheriff’s office or court and requests money due to a missed jury summons.

Note that law enforcement or courts will never reach out by phone to demand money for a missed jury summons, and these should be ignored. Correspondence from court jury offices regarding a missed summons will arrive in the form of an official legal document in the mail, titled “Failure to Appear Notice”.

If you receive a suspicious call from someone alleging to be a police officer, please report the information to your local sheriff’s department and notify the Colorado State Attorney General’s Office of the activity by visiting their Stop Fraud Colorado website. Reports of fraud or scams may also be reported to the Federal Trade Commission.

To check whether you received a jury summons, please contact your county jury commissioner https://www.coloradojudicial.gov/jury/jury-commissioners-county 

For a lost jury summons, you will need to contact the Jury Commissioner within your county courthouse. Please find the directory of Jury Commissioners by County here.

The Jury Commissioner in the court location can provide the juror with details about their reporting date, juror number, etc.

Each county establishes their own regulations about food and beverages in their courthouse. Please visit our Jury page. In the section titled "Jury Information by County / Do I still have jury duty", please enter your county name and select "Search" to arrive directly to your county's jury information.

If your county does not provide a list of restrictions, you may reach out the county courthouse by visiting the Trials by County page. More contact information may be found under the "View details" link under the courthouse address. 

Each year, the Judicial Branch receives lists of names including registered voter records, drivers’ licenses, non-driver ids, and state income tax records.
