How Anderson Booking Records Are Created

When Anderson Police Department officers or Madison County deputies make an arrest, the person is taken to the Madison County Jail for processing. Jail staff complete the booking by recording the charges, photographing the person, and entering data into the county records system. This creates the official booking release record.

The booking record is public under Indiana's Access to Public Records Act. Most records become available to the public within a few hours of booking. The record will include the person's name, booking date and time, booking number, charges, and bond information if bail has been set.

Booking records do not tell you what happened in court. If the case went to trial or was resolved by plea, that information is in the court system, not the jail system. Use separate tools to look up case outcomes for Anderson arrests.
