This is a private reference site, not a Shelby County office or government service. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, arrange a release, post or accept bond, retrieve an official booking record, or provide a certified court file.

Which Shelby County Office Should You Contact?
The Shelby County Sheriff's Department is the starting point for a Shelby County jail booking record or intake photograph. Its public lobby is at 107 W. Taylor Street, Shelbyville, IN 46176. The main telephone number is 317-392-6345, and lobby hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m., except holidays. Call 317-392-6405, option 4, for current jail, bond, or out-of-county hold information. The Sheriff has not published a booking-photo fee or production schedule, so ask for the current format, delivery method, estimated charge, and custodian before submitting a request.
Choose the office by the type and stage of the record. A police incident file, jail intake image, court docket, and corrections record can concern the same person while remaining in different systems.
- For a current Shelby County jail search, recent-arrest path, daily arrest-log request, booking record, or intake photograph, start with the county records and roster guide, then contact the Sheriff's Department when an official copy is needed.
- For a police report or case photograph, contact the police agency that investigated the incident. Shelbyville, Edinburgh, and Morristown police records are distinct from the identification photograph created by the jail that booked the person. Edinburgh also crosses county lines, so confirm the actual booking county.
- For court charges, hearings, orders, or dispositions, contact Shelby County Clerk Jill Lacy at 407 S. Harrison Street, Room 111, Shelbyville, IN 46176, or call 317-392-6320. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Court-file requests may also use fax 317-392-6339. Do not send a jail-photo request to the Clerk.
- For Shelby Superior Court 2 scheduling, contact the court at 407 S. Harrison Street or 317-392-6340. Published hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m., with a noon-1 p.m. closure. Jail staff do not set initial-hearing times.
- For a sentenced Indiana state prisoner, use the Indiana Department of Correction offender search. A public IDOC photograph request belongs in the department's records-request system, not the county jail or Clerk's office.
- For a person in federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator. A federal result is separate from Shelby County jail custody.
- For immigration detention, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. ICE detention and county booking records are separate systems, and the locator's required identifiers differ from a county roster search.
