Find Greene County Arrest Records

Greene County 24 hour booking records are held by the Greene County Sheriff's Office in Bloomfield, Indiana. The office processes all jail bookings for the county and maintains inmate records that are available to the public. Online access is limited, so this page explains how to contact the sheriff directly, what information you can expect to find, and which statewide tools can supplement your search when local access is not available.

Greene County 24 Hour Booking Access

The Greene County Sheriff's Office does not currently offer a public online inmate search. To find out if someone has been booked into the Greene County Jail, your best option is to call the sheriff's office at (812) 384-4411 during business hours. Staff can confirm whether a person is in custody and provide basic booking details. For after-hours inquiries, the on-duty jail officer may be reached through the same main line.

The sheriff's office is located at 204 County Road 70 E in Bloomfield, which is also the county seat. In-person visits are an option if you need to review records directly. Staff can pull booking logs on request. Indiana's public records law gives you the right to access these records at no charge beyond copying costs.

Because online access is limited, Greene County residents often rely on phone contact and in-person requests more than residents of counties with a web-based roster. Keep in mind that booking records can include the date of arrest, the listed charges, and bond information. Court records, which are separate, can be searched through the Indiana MyCase portal.

The Greene County Sheriff's Office website is the official starting point for booking inquiries. The screenshot below shows the department page for the sheriff's office.

The Indiana Department of Correction operates a separate locator for people in state prison at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov. This tool is distinct from the county jail roster. If a person was sentenced and transferred to state custody, the IDOC locator is where you would find them. It is updated regularly and free to search.

Court records for Greene County cases are searchable through Indiana MyCase. This portal covers Circuit and Superior court proceedings and is the best place to check case status once charges have been formally filed. It does not replace the jail roster but works well alongside it.

Greene County Arrest and Booking Process

Law enforcement agencies operating in Greene County include the Greene County Sheriff's Office, local town police departments, and Indiana State Police.

Greene County covers a rural area in southwest Indiana. It borders Monroe County to the east, which contains Bloomington, a city with a dedicated page on this site. If the person you are searching for may have been booked in a neighboring county, check the relevant county page for their search tools.
