Contacts

Official Records and Custody Contacts

The Allamakee County Sheriff’s Office operates the county jail and provides countywide dispatch. The same published number is the main, non-emergency, and jail contact. The reviewed county pages do not publish a separate records-unit telephone line or public records-counter hours.

Choose the contact by the record or status needed:

• For a county booking record or photo request, begin with the county records and arrest hub, then contact the Sheriff as custodian.
• For a newly arrested person, use the official jail number and the same-day fallback explained under Arrests Last 24 Hours.
• For free Iowa custody alerts, use IowaVINE. It can report release or transfer events when the relevant jail record participates.
• For a filed charge, hearing, or disposition, search Iowa Courts Online or contact the Allamakee Clerk of Court at 110 Allamakee Street, Waukon, IA 52172, 563-568-6351.
• For a state prisoner or person under state supervision, use the Iowa Department of Corrections Offender Search. It is not a fresh county-booking tool.
• For a federal sentenced prisoner, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator. For immigration custody, use the official ICE locator.
• For a city police report, contact Waukon Police, Postville Police, or Lansing City Hall according to the city that handled the event.

Call 911 only for an emergency. Office details and custody information can change, so verify the number, hours, request method, and any fee before visiting or sending payment.
