Where to Direct Questions
For Dallas County jail custody or sheriff records, start with the Dallas County Sheriff's Office or the Dallas County Jail / Dallas County Sheriff's Correctional Facility. Sheriff Adam Infante's office and the jail share the law-enforcement campus at 28985 Thin Blue Line Lane, Adel, IA 50003. The sheriff's main number is 515-993-4771, the jail information number is 515-993-5815, dispatch and non-emergency calls go to 515-993-4567, and Text-a-Tip is 515-559-7790. Sheriff's administrative hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
- For someone in the county jail, use the official Dallas County Inmate Inquiry and the jail inmate records page, then call the jail at 515-993-5815 if custody, charge, or bond details need confirmation.
- For booking photos published with a Dallas County jail profile, see jail roster mugshots and use the sheriff public-records form if a photo or booking record is not online.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use Iowa Courts Online and the court records after a jail arrest page. The Dallas County Clerk of Court helpful number listed by the jail is 515-993-5816.
- For a specific local detention facility, use the Dallas County Jail / Dallas County Sheriff's Correctional Facility page listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced Iowa prisoner, search the Iowa Department of Corrections offender locator instead of the Dallas County jail roster.
- For custody or criminal-case notifications, use Iowa VINELink as a notification service, not as the primary official record.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
Sheriff records and copies of reports are routed through the official Dallas County sheriff public-records request form. For non-emergency public-safety help, use the county's dispatch line. For emergencies, call 911.
