Kokomo Booking Releases and Inmate Records

Kokomo booking releases are filed through the Howard County Sheriff's Office and stored at the Howard County Jail on West Markland Avenue. When Kokomo police or Howard County deputies make an arrest inside city limits, the booking record goes to this facility. Howard County makes inmate data available online through multiple tools so anyone can search current and recent Kokomo bookings.

Statewide Tools for Kokomo Inmate Searches

The Indiana county jail portal at public.indianajail.gov provides a statewide search that includes Howard County. Use this if you want to verify whether someone is in county custody without going directly to the Howard County site. It is free and does not require an account.

The IDOC Offender Locator at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov is used when someone has been sentenced and sent to a state prison. Local jail bookings do not appear on this tool, but if a Kokomo arrest led to a DOC sentence, the person will show up here after transfer.

SAVIN at indianasavin.in.gov lets you check custody status and set up automatic notifications. If you want to know when someone is released from the Howard County Jail, you can register for SAVIN alerts tied to that person's record.

Court case records for Howard County are at public.courts.in.gov. Search by name to find Kokomo criminal cases, including charges filed, hearing schedules, and case outcomes. This is separate from the jail record system.

Indiana's Access to Public Records Act is the law that covers your right to get booking records and other public documents. See Indiana Code Section 5-14-3-3 for the full text.
