New Albany Jail Mugshots and Floyd County Records

New Albany jail mugshots are maintained by the Floyd County Sheriff's Office, which operates the Floyd County Jail at 311 Hauss Square in New Albany. The facility houses pre-trial detainees, county-sentenced inmates, and state and federal offenders. When New Albany police or Floyd County deputies make an arrest, booking happens at this same location. Indiana Code 36-2-13-5 requires the sheriff to photograph every person booked into custody, making those booking photos part of the official Floyd County public record.

Floyd County Jail: Location and Booking

The Floyd County Jail is at 311 Hauss Square in New Albany, Indiana. The Floyd County Sheriff's Office operates the facility and can be reached at 812-948-5404. The jail is inside the Hauss Square complex, which also houses court functions for Floyd County. This means the jail is physically close to the courts that handle criminal proceedings tied to New Albany arrests.

The jail holds several types of people. Pre-trial detainees are there before their cases are resolved. County-sentenced inmates serve short sentences under county jurisdiction. State and federal offenders may also be housed there under contract. Not everyone in the Floyd County Jail is awaiting trial, and not all are from New Albany specifically.

During booking, staff take the arrested person through intake. They record charges, collect identifying information, photograph the individual, and set bond if applicable. Indiana Code 5-14-3-5 makes the resulting record public. Anyone can request name, age, address, booking date, arresting officer, charges, and bail. These details cannot be withheld on routine requests.

For automated inmate information, call 812-948-5406. This phone line provides basic custody status around the clock. You can get a quick answer without waiting for staff to check manually. For fuller detail, including charges and bond amount, contact the jail directly at 812-948-5404.

New Albany Police Department Records

The New Albany Police Department is at 311 Hauss Square, Room 131, New Albany, IN 47150. Their main number is (812)-948-5300. City officers make arrests within New Albany city limits. All arrestees go to the Floyd County Jail for booking, since the jail and the police department share the same building complex at Hauss Square.

Police department records cover incident reports, arrest reports, and documentation from city police responses. The booking photo and jail record, however, are held by the Floyd County Sheriff, not the city police. If you need an incident report, contact the New Albany PD. If you need the mugshot or jail booking record, contact the sheriff at 812-948-5404.

The Floyd County Sheriff includes a notice that "the fact that a person has been arrested or charged with a crime is merely an accusation, and that the person is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty." This is standard language under Indiana law. An arrest is not a conviction.

Statewide Indiana Search Tools

Several Indiana-wide systems cover Floyd County. These fill in gaps when local search tools don't have the full picture.

The INjail portal pulls inmate data from county jails across Indiana. Search by name and see results from any participating facility. If Floyd County feeds data to the system, New Albany arrests will appear there alongside records from other Indiana counties.

Indiana SAVIN at indianasavin.in.gov lets you search by name and register for custody status notifications. If someone is released or transferred from the Floyd County Jail, you can receive an alert. Phone access is at 1-866-959-VINE (8463).

For court records, MyCase covers Floyd County court filings. Criminal cases arising from New Albany arrests are handled in the Floyd Circuit or Superior Court. MyCase shows case status, hearings, and outcomes. Search by name or case number to find what you need.

State prison records for people convicted in Floyd County are at the Indiana Department of Correction at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov. This is separate from the county jail system.

Public Access and Expungement

Indiana law supports open access to arrest records. The Indiana Public Access Counselor has addressed mugshots in a formal opinion. That opinion, available at in.gov/pac, confirms booking photos are public records under Indiana's Access to Public Records Act.

Exceptions under IC 5-14-3-4 are narrow. They cover things like ongoing investigations or information that could compromise a case. Standard booking data, including mugshots, does not fall into these categories for routine arrests.

Expungement under IC 35-38-5-5 provides the main route to restricting a past arrest record. If a court grants an expungement order, the record is sealed. The Floyd County Sheriff must honor it. After expungement, a name search for that person returns nothing from the sealed arrest.

Floyd County Records and Court Information

The Floyd County jail mugshots page covers the county jail in more detail, including more on how to contact the Floyd County Sheriff's Office and how the inmate lookup works. All New Albany arrests are in the Floyd County system, so the county page has everything this city page covers and more.

IC 10-13-3-27 addresses limited criminal history releases. The state allows certain authorized entities to get more detailed criminal history, but standard public requests work through the sheriff or court records system rather than through the state's limited criminal history process. For most people doing a routine search, the sheriff's office and MyCase are the right places to start.
