How Goshen Booking Records Are Created

When Goshen police or Elkhart County deputies make an arrest in Goshen, the person is transported to the Elkhart County Jail on CR 26. Jail staff process the booking, record the charges, take a photo, and assign a booking number. This creates the official booking release record, which is public under Indiana law.

Goshen does not have its own city jail. All adult bookings from city arrests go to the county facility. Records are typically available in the online system within a few hours of booking. If you cannot find a very recent arrest, give the system a bit more time to update.

Booking records cover the arrest and intake process, not court outcomes. For case outcome data, you need to check Elkhart County court filings through the Indiana courts portal.
