Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find out if someone is in local jail?
The easiest way to check if someone’s currently booked in a local jail is to use the jail’s online inmate roster. For Tippecanoe County, this information can usually be found on the Sheriff’s Office website. You can also call the jail directly, but be prepared to provide the person’s full name and date of birth for a more efficient search. Keep in mind that information may not be immediately available online.
How do I find an inmate in Tippecanoe County jail?
To find an inmate specifically within the Tippecanoe County Jail, visit the Tippecanoe County Sheriff’s Office website and look for the “Inmate Search” or “Current Inmates” section. You’ll typically be able to search by name. If you can’t find the information online, calling the jail directly is another option.
How to find someone in jail in Indiana?
To find an inmate in another jail within Indiana, the Indiana Department of Corrections (IDOC) website may have a statewide inmate search tool. You can also try searching the specific county’s Sheriff’s Office website, as most counties maintain their own online inmate rosters. If those options don’t work, contacting the specific jail directly is your best bet.
