Official Offices for Records
For sheriff records and request routing, contact the Appanoose County Sheriff's Office, PO Box 474, 22158 Dewey Road, Centerville, Iowa 52544. The main number is 641-437-7100, the fax is 641-437-7107, and the published email is sheriff@appanoosecountysheriff.org. For a present-custody question, call the Appanoose County Jail at 641-437-7106 at the same mailing and street address. The research did not confirm public office hours, so call before visiting.
Choose the destination that matches the question:
- For a booking sheet or photograph, use the county records guide and ask the sheriff for the lawful custodian.
- For someone arrested very recently, call the jail because no public Appanoose same-day feed was located.
- For release or transfer notices, use IowaVINE and confirm urgent status with the jail.
- For a filed case or final disposition, search Iowa Courts Online or contact the Appanoose clerk.
- For state custody or supervision, use the Iowa Department of Corrections offender search.
- For federal prison or immigration detention, use the separate BOP or ICE locator.
- For a city police report, begin with the relevant municipal agency, then ask which office holds the county booking record.
