Search Boone County Jail Mugshots

Boone County jail mugshots and inmate records are available online through the Boone County Sheriff's Office in Lebanon, Indiana. The sheriff uses the JailTracker system, which lets the public look up current inmates, booking photos, and related arrest details. Boone County sits just north of Indianapolis and handles a growing volume of arrests as the county's population expands. This page covers how to use the online inmate lookup, what records are public, and what other state tools can help with broader searches.

Boone County Jail Mugshots: Online Inmate Lookup

The Boone County Sheriff's Office posts booking records and inmate photos through its online lookup at boonecountyindianasheriff.com. The system runs on JailTracker, a widely used jail management platform. You can search by name and pull up current inmates along with their booking photos and charge information.

This portal is one of the better public-facing tools among Indiana's mid-sized counties. It's regularly updated as new bookings come in. Indiana Code IC 36-2-13-5 requires the sheriff to photograph and fingerprint all people taken into custody for felonies or misdemeanors, so booking photos are part of every arrest processed through Boone County corrections.

How to Use the Boone County Inmate Search

The JailTracker-based lookup is straightforward. Enter a name and the system returns any matching current inmates. Results show the inmate's booking date, charges, and bond amount. When a booking photo is in the system, it displays alongside the other details.

The corrections division is led by Commander Timothy Turner, who can be reached at 765-483-5782 or by email at tturner@co.boone.in.us. The sheriff's office is located at 1905 Indianapolis Ave in Lebanon, with general office hours of Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4 pm.

Indiana Law and Boone County Booking Photos

What gets released when someone is arrested in Boone County? IC 5-14-3-5 answers that question. The law requires disclosure of the arrested person's name, age, and home address. It also mandates release of the date, time, and location of the arrest, the name of the arresting officer, the specific charges, and any bail or bond amount set.

Booking photos are part of the public record under Indiana law. The Indiana Public Access Counselor has issued opinions confirming that mugshots taken during the booking process are generally accessible to the public. If you want to review the legal framework in detail, the PAC's published guidance on mugshots and warrants is available online.

IC 5-14-3-4 allows agencies to withhold certain records. Investigatory files, confidential informant information, and other sensitive law enforcement data can be protected. Routine bookings are public, but cases connected to ongoing investigations may have limited disclosure initially.

Expungement and Boone County Arrest Records

Boone County residents with past arrests may qualify to have records restricted under IC 35-38-5-5. Arrests that didn't result in conviction, and some convictions for which the person has completed their sentence, are potentially eligible for expungement. The process involves filing a petition with the Boone County Circuit Court.

Expungement in Indiana restricts what government agencies can share. An expunged Boone County arrest record can no longer be disclosed through official channels. Private databases may not update as quickly, but official portals like the sheriff's lookup and MyCase will reflect the restriction.

Questions about public records access in Boone County can go to the Indiana Public Access Counselor at in.gov/pac/. The PAC handles disputes and provides guidance on what agencies must and cannot share.
