Search Dearborn County Inmates
The Dearborn County Sheriff's Office inmate search is the local public roster for current county-jail custody. The sheriff's site lists the office at 301 W High St, Lawrenceburg, IN 47025, phone (812) 537-3431, and office hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The homepage identifies Sheriff Shane J. McHenry and links to Inmate Search, Jail Information, Most Wanted, Sex Offenders, and Accident Report.
The roster interface uses a "Type to Search" box. The researched output showed uppercase inmate names, photo thumbnails, linked profile pages, and pagination. It displayed pages "1 2 3 4 5...26" at inspection, which confirms a multi-page roster. The sheriff pages use the Law Enforcement Center address as the facility contact. A separate official jail capacity was not located in readable official sources, so no capacity figure should be assumed.

This Dearborn County inmate records source is the county-level starting point for current custody, but it should be paired with court and state tools when the custody status has changed.
Use the Dearborn County Roster
A name search is the practical path on the sheriff's roster. The search box filters visible names rather than asking for a case number, citation number, or court cause number. If a person is not found, check spelling, try fewer letters, and remember that the roster is for current county custody, not every past arrest or every court case.
- Open the official Dearborn County sheriff inmate search page.
- Enter part or all of the inmate's name in the "Type to Search" field.
- Review the visible photo thumbnails and uppercase name matches.
- Use pagination if the name is not shown on the first roster page.
- Open the linked profile for available public details, then call the sheriff for current custody questions.
Booking and charge entries can change quickly. Court dates and case outcomes are separate court records, so check Indiana MyCase for public case dockets after a booking.
Dearborn County Inmate Fields
The sheriff's roster is simpler than a statewide court portal. It does not require a date of birth, booking number, or agency number in the visible search field documented by the research. A photo thumbnail and linked name work as the main result controls. That design is helpful for quick current-custody checks but limited for older booking records or records requests.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type to Search | Text | Optional | Filters visible inmate names; no required minimum or wildcard instruction shown |
| Inmate Name link | Clickable result | No | Opens an individual inmate profile when available |
| Photo thumbnail | Image result | No | Mugshot or booking image appears in the listing |
| Pagination | Page links | No | Visible pages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...26 at inspection |
Note: A person not found on the Dearborn County jail roster may still have a court case, warrant, state custody record, or release history.
Dearborn County Inmate Profile
The profile inventory below follows the researched sheriff roster output and the field limits noted in the source file. Some fields were visible in listings. Other fields were likely profile-level fields but were not visible in the plain search output, so they should be treated as conditional rather than guaranteed. Sensitive details such as date of birth, medical status, or protective-custody flags were not shown in the listing output.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Mugshot | Visible in the search listing and linked profile image when provided |
| Name | Uppercase full name shown in the public roster |
| Booking number | Likely on an inmate profile, but not visible in plain search output |
| Booking date/time | Likely profile-level booking timing, not visible in the listing output |
| Charges | Likely shown on a profile, while the full court case belongs in MyCase |
| Bond amount | Likely profile-level if bond is set, but not visible in listing output |
| Court date | Not visible in the listing; use MyCase or court notice when available |
| Release date | Not visible for current inmates in the researched listing |
| Redactions | No DOB or sensitive medical/protective-custody flags visible in listing |
Dearborn County Jail Contact
The official pages use the Sheriff's Office and Law Enforcement Center address for jail contact. The research did not locate a separate verified capacity, separate detention-center address, or public schedule text in readable official sources. For Dearborn County inmate records and custody questions, the sheriff contact block is the verified facility contact.
Dearborn County Sheriff's Office / Law Enforcement Center
301 W High St
Lawrenceburg, IN 47025
(812) 537-3431
Office hours: 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Monday-Friday
Capacity: not located in official readable sources
The official Jail Information landing page links jail service categories for bail, commissary, inmate mail, phone cards, public visitation, medical division, and JCAP.

This jail information source confirms the official categories readers should use before sending mail, money, or making a visit.
County Jail vs State Custody
Dearborn County inmate search results are county-jail records. They do not replace statewide jail, prison, or victim-notification tools. The Indiana Judicial Branch public-records hub links a statewide county jail offender locator at public.indianajail.gov. State prison custody should be checked through Indiana Department of Correction channels after a person leaves county jail for a state facility. Victim notification registration is handled through Indiana SAVIN.
| Tool | Best Use | Dearborn County Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Dearborn sheriff roster | Current county custody and public inmate profile links | Does not show every past booking or state prison status |
| Indiana county jail locator | Statewide county jail offender search | Use when county location is uncertain |
| Indiana DOC tools | State prison custody after transfer or sentencing | Not a county jail roster |
| Indiana SAVIN | Victim notification registration | Notification tool, not a full case file |
The statewide county jail locator image in the manifest comes from the Indiana jail offender locator source.
Use the statewide jail locator when the custody county is unclear, then return to the Dearborn sheriff or court record once the correct agency is known.
Dearborn County Sheriff App
The sheriff's site repeatedly links "DOWNLOAD OUR APP" to an OCV app-share page. The official research identifies OCV, LLC as the app platform/vendor and lists app-connected features from the sheriff site: Contact Us, Submit A Tip, Patrol Request, Sheriff Sales, Inmate Search, Jail Information, Most Wanted, Sex Offenders, Accident Report, and stay-informed prompts. The source did not confirm app-only inmate lookup features, so the app should be described as another sheriff access channel rather than the only place to search inmates.

The app can help route Dearborn County inmate search users back to sheriff services while preserving the same official custody source.
Dearborn County Visitation Schedule
The official Public Visitations page exists, but the inspected official output did not expose a readable schedule, identification rule, dress code, child rule, or video-visit vendor. Because of that source limit, Dearborn County inmate visitation details should be confirmed directly with the sheriff before travel. The same caution applies to mail, commissary, phone cards, bail payments, and medical questions.
| Visit Type | Schedule | ID / Rules | Source Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public visitation | Schedule not located in official readable text | ID and dress code not located in official readable text | Official page exists but details not exposed |
| Attorney visits | Not located in official sources inspected | Attorneys should contact jail or court directly | No official text located |
| Video visitation | Not located in official sources inspected | Vendor not verified | No official text located |
| Holiday/emergency visits | Not located in official sources inspected | Confirm with Sheriff | No official text located |
The official visitation category confirms the access point, while the schedule itself remains a Dearborn County source limitation.
Jail Services and Requests
The sheriff's Jail Information page confirms official service categories even when full policy text was not readable. Use the official topic page for the service needed and then call the sheriff when the page does not show current instructions. Do not import commissary vendors, mail rules, or visit schedules from unofficial jail pages.
The manifest image below comes from the sheriff's JCAP Program source, one of the official jail-related categories linked from the sheriff site.
The JCAP source shows that some jail information is program-specific, so custody users should choose the exact sheriff topic that matches the need.
| Topic | Official Status | Missing Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Cash and credit bail payments | Official category exists | Processor, fees, accepted cards, and hours not located |
| Bail bond information | Official category exists | Full instructions not visible in text |
| Commissary | Official category exists | Vendor, ordering URL, and deposit fees not located |
| Inmate mail guidelines | Official category exists | Mail format, banned items, and scan policy not located |
| Inmate phone cards | Official category exists | Provider, pricing, and setup process not located |
| Medical division | Official category exists | Sick-call process, fees, and grievance steps not located |
The manifest also includes the Indiana SAVIN source for custody notification.
Indiana SAVIN is best understood as a notification channel, not a replacement for the Dearborn County sheriff roster or court dockets.
After a Dearborn County Booking
A booking record and a criminal case record are related but not identical. The jail roster can show custody status and public booking-profile data. A court case, when filed, is searched through MyCase and maintained by the Dearborn County Clerk of Courts for Circuit Court, Superior Court I, or Superior Court II. Charges, hearings, dispositions, sentencing, fines, bond entries, and probation activity belong in the court record.
For court-date and case-copy questions, use the Clerk of Courts at 165 Mary St, Lawrenceburg. For jail custody, booking records, incident reports, jail administrative records, or details not shown online, use the Sheriff's Office. Public records requests for sheriff records are subject to Indiana public-records law and law-enforcement investigatory record limits.
