Find the Correct Record Office

The Plymouth County Sheriff's Office operates the county jail and accepts public-record requests by telephone, mail, email, or in person. General and non-emergency calls are answered around the clock, but records requests use the narrower counter schedule below.

Choose the office or system that holds the particular information you need:

  • For a booking photograph, current roster entry, intake sheet, or direct records-request steps, use the Plymouth County booking guide and then contact the sheriff.
  • For a current Plymouth County warrant question, use the sheriff or Plymouth County Clerk of Court contacts described on Most Wanted. A court case search is not a guaranteed live warrant check.
  • For a newly reported arrest, compare the newest sheriff roster PDF with the sheriff's dated press releases. Plymouth County has no official 24-hour, 48-hour, or 72-hour booking feed.
  • For release or transfer notifications, use IowaVINE. For urgent custody confirmation, call the Plymouth County Jail directly.
  • For a filed criminal case, later orders, or disposition, search Iowa Courts Online or contact the Plymouth County Clerk of District Court.
  • For state corrections custody or supervision, use the Iowa Department of Corrections offender search. It is not a county jail roster and current public profiles do not display photographs.
  • For federal Bureau of Prisons custody or ICE detention, use the appropriate federal locator. Neither locator supplies the Plymouth County booking file.
