This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, schedule a visit, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible agency directly for those services.
Dubuque Custody and Records Contacts
The agency that created or maintains a record is the best place to confirm it. For county jail or Sheriff's Office questions, use the official county contact below. The joint P2C and Police contact uses a different address and number, so the two should not be treated as one office.
Dubuque County Sheriff's Office
Dubuque Law Enforcement Center
770 Iowa Street
Dubuque, IA 52001
Mail: PO Box 1004, Dubuque, IA 52004-1004
General and non-emergency: 563-589-4406

The research did not establish public records-counter hours or a separate jail information line. Call before visiting and use the county's official Public Records Request page for request instructions.
The following routes direct common questions to the system that can answer them.
- For a booking photo, booking sheet, current roster, or recent arrest, start with the Dubuque County records guide and its official P2C and request steps.
- For a warrant or wanted notice, use the official paths explained on Wanted Fugitives.
- For a just-reported arrest or incident, check P2C Recent Arrests and Daily Bulletin, recognizing that the portal is not real time.
- For release or current jail status, use P2C Inmate Inquiry or call the Sheriff's Office. A missing roster result does not erase an earlier booking.
- For a final case result, use Iowa Courts Online or contact the Clerk of District Court.
- For state prison, parole, or probation information, use the Iowa Department of Corrections offender search, which is separate from county jail booking data.
- For federal criminal custody use the BOP Inmate Locator; for immigration detention use the ICE Online Detainee Locator.
