The search lets you look by name and returns current custody records.
The sheriff's main site at delawarecountysheriff.org has department news, links to all online services, and staff information.
The Delaware County Sheriff's Office homepage below is where you can find the inmate lookup link along with other department resources.
The site is maintained by the Delaware County Sheriff's Office and reflects current leadership, service options, and links to the hourly-updated inmate lookup tool.

Delaware County 24 Hour Booking Database
The hourly-updated inmate lookup is a standout feature of Delaware County's booking records system. Most county sheriff sites in Indiana update their inmate data once a day or less often. The one-hour refresh means that Delaware County's online tool is one of the most current publicly available booking sources in the state. Each record in the database shows the person's name, charges, and booking date.
The Delaware County inmate search database below displays current booking records updated on an hourly basis.
The database is freely accessible to the public and reflects the most current booking activity at the Delaware County Jail, with updates running throughout the day and night.
If you do not find the person you are looking for, they may have been released between update cycles, transferred to another facility, or not yet fully processed into the system. Calling the jail at (765) 747-7870 gives you direct, real-time information that is not dependent on the database refresh schedule.
Note: The hourly update applies to active inmates. Historical booking records older than the current roster require a separate public records request submitted to the sheriff's office.
Muncie and Delaware County Arrest Records
Muncie is Delaware County's only qualifying city for a dedicated page on this site. It is also the county seat and the location of the sheriff's office and jail.

The Muncie Police Department and the Delaware County Sheriff's Office both contribute to the jail population, and all bookings flow through the same facility.
You can find more information about Muncie-specific booking and arrest records on the Muncie city page. Other cities in Delaware County that do not have dedicated pages include Yorktown and Daleville. Arrests in those areas are also processed through the Delaware County Jail in Muncie.
