What Carroll County Booking Reports Show

A Carroll County booking report holds key data about an arrest. IC 5-14-3-5 says the name, age, and address of anyone arrested must be made public. The charges, the time of arrest, and the name of the arresting officer are also part of the record. When someone enters the Carroll County Jail, the intake date, the reason for being held, and any bond set by the court all go into the booking report as well.

Most Carroll County reports also list the booking number, date of birth, and a booking photo. Because Carroll County is a smaller county, the majority of arrests come from the Sheriff's Office, the Delphi City Police, or Indiana State Police troopers working in the area. Each agency files its booking data with the Carroll County Jail after an arrest is made.

How to Get Carroll County Arrest Records

You can request booking reports in person at the Carroll County Sheriff's Office. The office is at 300 W. Main Street, Delphi, IN 46923. Call them at 765-564-2413 to ask about a specific arrest or to check if records are ready. Walk-ins are taken during normal business hours on weekdays.

Indiana law gives you the right to inspect public records. Under IC 5-14-3-3, any person can ask to see or copy a public record. The Carroll County Sheriff cannot ask why you want the records. There is no form you have to fill out, though some offices prefer a written request. If you want copies, the fee is capped at $0.10 per page under IC 5-14-3-8. The office has seven days to respond under IC 5-14-3-9. If they deny your request, they must give you the reason in writing.
