Clinton County 24 Hour Booking

Clinton County 24 hour booking records are available through the Clinton County Sheriff's Office in Frankfort, Indiana, which provides both an online inmate search and a separate jail roster. Sheriff Rich Kelly oversees the department, and the office maintains two searchable online tools that reflect current custody at the Clinton County Jail. This page covers how to access both online resources, how to contact the sheriff's office directly, and what state-level tools complement local Clinton County booking records.

Clinton County 24 Hour Booking Search Tools

Clinton County gives the public two separate online tools to look up current inmates. The first is the inmate search at clintoncountysheriff.com/inmateSearch, which lets you search by name for anyone currently in custody at the Clinton County Jail. The second is a roster page at clintoncosheriff.org/roster.php, which provides a list of current inmates that you can browse directly. Both tools are free and updated as the jail roster changes.

Having two portals means you have a backup if one system is temporarily offline. In practice, the roster page is useful for a quick visual scan, while the inmate search tool is better for looking up a specific person by name. If neither tool shows the person you are looking for, they may not be in current custody, or they may have been booked very recently and not yet updated in the system. Calling the office at (765) 659-6393 is the fastest way to confirm in those cases.

The Clinton County Sheriff's homepage is the entry point for the department's online services including both inmate search tools, news, and contact information for all divisions.

The site also provides direct email contacts for the jail commander and the records division, making it easier to get specific questions answered without waiting on hold.

Clinton County Inmate Search and Roster Details

The inmate search at clintoncountysheriff.com/inmateSearch is the primary online tool for Clinton County 24 hour booking lookups. It is a name-based search that returns current inmates. The roster page at clintoncosheriff.org/roster.php provides a different view of the same population, listing current jail occupants that you can scroll through without entering a name.

The Clinton County Sheriff's inmate search portal allows name-based lookups of current jail bookings in Frankfort, Indiana.

The search tool is kept current as new bookings are processed and is one of the more user-friendly county-level inmate portals in north-central Indiana.

For a broader view, the roster page shows everyone in custody at a glance.

The roster is useful when you want to browse current inmates without knowing a specific name, and it is updated along with the main inmate search database.

Records Contacts and Formal Requests

Clinton County provides direct email access for two key contacts: the jail commander at mknox@clintonco.com and the records division at ndouglass@clintonco.com. The jail commander can address questions about inmate status, corrections policies, and related matters. The records division handles requests for police reports, incident documentation, and other public records under Indiana's Access to Public Records Act.

Written public records requests must receive a response within seven business days under Indiana law. In-person requests must be fulfilled within 24 hours if the records are readily available. Copy costs are capped at $0.10 per page with no labor fees for standard requests. If you have any trouble getting records from the Clinton County Sheriff's Office, the Indiana Public Access Counselor can advise and issue a formal opinion at no cost.

Note: For body cam footage or other digital records, the processing time and format may differ from standard paper records requests. Contact the records division by email to confirm the process before submitting a request for video content.

Indiana Statewide Resources for Clinton County

The Clinton County online tools are strong, but several statewide Indiana systems add additional coverage for booking and arrest records. If someone booked in Clinton County has been transferred to a state prison, the IDOC Offender Locator will show their current location. The tool is free and updated regularly by the Indiana Department of Correction.

For court records tied to an arrest, the Indiana MyCase portal is searchable by name and covers all publicly available filings in Clinton County Circuit and Superior Courts. The system shows charges, hearing dates, and case outcomes for open and closed cases. It is a good complement to the booking search since it shows what happened after the initial arrest.

Indiana's VINE service offers free custody alerts. Register at VINELink or call 1-866-959-VINE to receive notifications by phone, text, or email when an inmate's status changes. The service covers county jails and state facilities, so coverage continues even when someone is transferred out of Clinton County custody.
