Greene County Sheriff's Office

The Greene County Sheriff's Office is the primary source for all booking photos taken in the county. The official page is at co.greene.in.us. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8am to 4pm. The main number is (812) 384-4411. The automated phone system routes you to dispatch by pressing 1 or to the records division by pressing 2.

Indiana Code IC 36-2-13-5 requires every Indiana sheriff to photograph and fingerprint any person arrested for a felony or misdemeanor. Greene County follows this requirement for all bookings. Those photos are what the public refers to as Greene County jail mugshots. They become part of the public arrest record at the time of booking.

If you need a booking record from Greene County, start with a call to the records line during business hours. The staff can confirm whether a person is currently in custody and provide basic booking information. For after-hours inquiries, VINE is the best free alternative.

Indiana Law on Greene County Arrest Records

Indiana Code IC 5-14-3-5 lists the information that must be made public after an arrest. When someone is booked at the Greene County Jail, these records must be disclosed: the person's name, age, and address; the date, time, and location of the arrest; the arresting officer; the charges; and the bail amount. Booking photos fall within this public disclosure requirement in most cases.

The Indiana Public Access Counselor has addressed the question of booking photos specifically in a written opinion at in.gov/pac. That opinion confirms that mugshots are generally public records in Indiana. If the Greene County Sheriff's Office refuses to release a record that should be public, you can contact the PAC at in.gov/pac/ to request informal guidance or file a formal complaint.

IC 5-14-3-4 carves out exceptions. Active investigation files and records that could endanger a person or compromise an ongoing case may be withheld. Routine completed bookings do not fall under those exceptions. Standard arrest records must be available to the public.

Statewide Tools: INjail Portal and Indiana SAVIN

The INjail portal at public.indianajail.gov aggregates inmate data from county jails that participate in the state system. Check this portal for Greene County records if the county is listed as a participant. It is free and requires no account to search.

Indiana SAVIN at indianasavin.in.gov covers both county jails and state prisons. If someone was convicted and transferred from Greene County Jail to state custody, SAVIN shows the current location. The IDOC Offender Locator at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov tracks state prison placements specifically.

Expungement and Greene County Records

Indiana Code IC 35-38-5-5 allows people to petition to have certain arrest and conviction records restricted. Arrests that did not result in a conviction are often the strongest candidates for expungement. Convictions may qualify as well, depending on the offense class and how much time has passed since the case was resolved. Petitions in Greene County go to the circuit court.

After a valid expungement order is issued, official sources must restrict access. VINE, MyCase, INjail, and the Indiana State Police all must follow the order. Third-party websites are often slower to reflect expungements, but official government records update to match the court's order. Records cleared through expungement will not appear in standard searches on official tools.
