About This Site

Finding a Clarke County booking photo or recent arrest requires knowing which public office holds the record. This private reference site brings together the official paths through the Clarke County Sheriff's Office, Iowa courts, and the Iowa Department of Corrections. It does not publish a mugshot gallery or keep government records.

Why This Site Exists

Iowa Code Chapter 22 makes nonconfidential government records available for examination and copying, but one record may pass through several custodians. The Clarke County Sheriff's Office creates county jail booking records and identification photos. Iowa Courts Online shows what happens after booking, including the case disposition. The Iowa Department of Corrections publishes records and available photos for people sentenced to state custody. This site organizes those official sources, explains the lookup and request routes, and does not reproduce the records or photographs.

What Readers Can Find

The pages focus on practical, source-specific ways to locate public arrest information in Clarke County.

  • The home page explains current-custody checks, recent arrests, booking records, and requests for a releasable photograph.
  • The Most Wanted Fugitives page explains official warrant and wanted-person channels.
  • City pages cover Osceola, Murray, and Woodburn while identifying the agency that serves each place.
  • State and federal lookup paths distinguish county jail custody from state prison and federal detention.
