1. Does the Loveland Police Department conduct background checks or Webchecks?

No, we are NOT an authorized Webcheck location. Anyone may request a search of our public records for any contacts with our department. However, this may not qualify as a "Background Check" for many employers. 

2. I heard that I might not live in the City of Loveland even though my address says “Loveland.” Is that true?

Yes. The "Loveland" on your mail refers to the 45140 zip code used by the United States Postal Service. This boundary does not relate to the municipal corporation limits. The City of Loveland is approximately 5 square miles with 13,000 residents. The 45140 "Loveland" zip code is approximately 45 square miles with 53,000 residents. Some of our services are available for Loveland residents only.
