Indiana Code IC 36-2-13-5 requires the sheriff to photograph and fingerprint every person arrested for a felony or misdemeanor. Hendricks County follows this for every booking. Those photos are the booking records people refer to as Hendricks County jail mugshots, and they become public records at the time of booking.

Hendricks County has grown quickly. The sheriff's office handles an increasing volume of bookings each year as the county's population expands. That growth means the jail division is an active operation, and keeping up with public records requests requires using the right tools.

Indiana Public Records Law and Hendricks County Mugshots

Indiana Code IC 5-14-3-5 sets the floor for public disclosure after a booking. When someone is booked at the Hendricks County Jail, the following must be made available: the person's name, age, and address; the date, time, and location of the arrest; the arresting officer's name; the charges; and the bail amount. Booking photos are generally part of this required public disclosure.

The Indiana Public Access Counselor has issued a written opinion on this topic at in.gov/pac. It confirms that booking photos are public records in most cases under Indiana law. If the Hendricks County Sheriff's Office declines to release a record that should be public, you can file a complaint or get guidance from the PAC at in.gov/pac/.

IC 5-14-3-4 allows exceptions for active investigations and records that could compromise ongoing law enforcement operations. Routine completed bookings do not fall under those exceptions. Standard arrest records must be disclosed.

Indiana Courts provides a free public case search at public.courts.in.gov/mycase/. All criminal cases in Hendricks County appear in the system. Search by name to see charges, hearing dates, bond conditions, and case outcomes. No account or fee is needed.

Expungement in Hendricks County

Indiana Code IC 35-38-5-5 lets eligible individuals petition to have certain arrest and conviction records restricted. Arrests without convictions are often the strongest candidates. Convictions may also qualify after waiting periods that vary by offense type. Petitions in Hendricks County go to Hendricks County Circuit Court or Superior Court.

Once an expungement order is issued, official sources must restrict access to the record. The INjail portal, VINE, MyCase, and the Indiana State Police must all comply. Third-party sites are slower to update. But if official tools no longer show a Hendricks County arrest record for someone you know was booked there, expungement is likely the explanation.
