Jefferson County Inmate Search & Jail Records

Persons apprehended in Jefferson County are typically transported to the Jefferson County Jail, where centralized booking occurs. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is charged with managing the county jail facility and furnishing public access to the related jail records per the Missouri Sunshine Law (Chapter 610 RSMo)-sections 610.100 to 610.126 RSMo cover rules for law enforcement records. Under these statutes, jail booking logs are entirely public, meaning anyone can request inmate data from the Sheriff's department.

The Jefferson County Sheriff offers an Inmate Search system to view a current detainee's custody and booking details, the identities and data of those recently released in the past 72 hours, and the total number of current inmates.
