Common questions
Can I view mugshots with Vanderburgh County arrest records?
Mugshots may appear in the county booking log or inmate roster if the county publishes them; they are not guaranteed in a records release.
What if the arrest was made by a city police department?
Request the arrest report from that agency’s records unit; if the person was booked into the county jail, you can still confirm custody in the county inmate lookup.
How do I find older arrests not in the recent booking log?
