Perry County Indiana 24 Hour Booking

Perry County 24 hour booking records are managed by the Perry County Sheriff's Office in Tell City, Indiana. Sheriff Dave Faulkenberg's department runs an online inmate search through a JailTracker-based system that gives you direct access to current custody information at any time. This page explains how to use that search tool, how to reach the sheriff's office, and what state tools are available to support your Perry County booking records search.

Perry County Sheriff Booking Search

The Perry County Sheriff's Office handles all bookings and inmate custody records for the county. Sheriff Dave Faulkenberg leads the department, which is located at 2211 Herrman Street in Tell City. The office can be reached by phone at (812) 547-2441. Note that while Cannelton is the official county seat, the sheriff's office is located in Tell City, which is the largest city in the county and where most county functions are based.

Perry County provides an online inmate search through its JailTracker-based ISOMS system at isoms.perrycountysheriff.net/portal/Jail. This portal lets you search by name and see who is currently in custody at the Perry County Jail. The system typically shows the person's name, booking date, charges, and other available custody details. It is free, requires no account, and is accessible at any time of the day or night.

The main sheriff's website at perrycountysheriffindiana.com provides additional department information and links to the inmate search portal. If you need to reach the office directly for something not covered by the online search, the website is the right starting point for finding current contact details and office hours.

The site is maintained by the Perry County Sheriff's Office and reflects current department leadership, office details, and the available tools for searching booking and inmate records online.

The Perry County inmate search portal runs on the JailTracker ISOMS system and lets you look up current jail population details by name or other identifiers.

Indiana State Resources for Perry County Booking

Beyond the county's own inmate search, Indiana provides statewide tools that can help when you need more information or want to verify results from a second source. These are all free and accessible to the public without registration.

The Indiana Department of Correction's IDOC Offender Locator covers individuals who have been sentenced and transferred to a state prison after their initial county-level booking. If someone was held in Perry County but is no longer in the ISOMS portal, they may have moved to state custody after sentencing. The IDOC locator is updated regularly and is a reliable tool for tracking custody status beyond the county jail stage.

The IDOC offender search database is the right tool when a Perry County booking search returns no result and you need to check whether the individual moved to a state prison facility.

If the Perry County jail search shows nothing, check IDOC next. A conviction followed by a state sentence means the person's records will appear in IDOC rather than the county jail system.

Court records connected to Perry County arrests can be searched using the Indiana MyCase portal. A name search will surface case filings, charges, and hearing dates for any case processed through the Perry County court system without a trip to the courthouse in Cannelton.

Note: The ISOMS inmate search portal at perrycountysheriff.net is the primary tool for Perry County booking records. It is available 24 hours a day and should be your first stop when searching for someone in custody at the county jail.

Adult booking records are generally public. Agencies must respond to in-person requests within 24 hours and written requests within seven days. Standard copy fees cannot exceed $0.10 per page.

If your records request to the Perry County Sheriff's Office is denied or goes unanswered, the Indiana Public Access Counselor can review the matter at no cost to you. The PAC issues advisory opinions that carry weight with county agencies, and most records disputes in Indiana are resolved after the PAC weighs in. You do not need an attorney to contact the PAC or to file a records dispute.
