We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, post bond, schedule a visit, or pull an official booking record. Use the official office below for those requests.

The official research reviewed for this site did not publish a separate records-window schedule. Call before visiting if you need current lobby hours, the right entrance, or the preferred format for a jail record request. Daviess County says incident reports may be purchased in person or by mail for $5, payable by local-bank cashier's check or money order to the Daviess County Sheriff's Department. Limited criminal history checks cost $10 for most requestors, are limited to Daviess County arrests or charges, and are restricted to qualifying uses, self-requests, or signed waivers.
- For someone who may be in the county jail, use the jail inmate records page, Indiana VINE, or the Detention Center number.
- For booking photos and mugshot limits, read the jail roster mugshots page and contact the sheriff if no public image is available.
- For charges filed after an arrest, start with court records after a jail arrest, Indiana MyCase, and the Daviess County Clerk's Office. The clerk is the county-level court record keeper.
- For a facility question, use the Daviess County Security Center or Daviess County Community Corrections Program Center pages listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced Indiana prisoner, use the Indiana Department of Correction offender locator rather than the county jail contact.
- For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator when appropriate. For immigration detention, use ICE ODLS. Local Daviess County staff may not have those records.
- For prosecution questions after charges are filed, the Daviess County Prosecutor's Office is a separate office. Court filings and hearing information are handled through the court and clerk systems, not through this website.
