This is a private reference site, not the sheriff, jail, court, or another government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the agency responsible for the record or custody decision.
Official Sheriff and Jail Contact
Marshall County Sheriff’s Department520 6th Street
Lacon, Illinois 61540
Phone: 309-246-2115
Emergency: 911
Office hours: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
The department operates around the clock. After regular hours, its official page instructs visitors to use the buzzer at the north entrance because the doors are secured. Do not email emergencies or sensitive personal information. No separate records-unit hours, fixed booking-record fee, or guaranteed response time was published.
Choose the route that matches the question:
- For an arrest record, booking photo, roster question, or written Illinois FOIA request, begin with the sheriff and the steps on the home page. Charges and dispositions should also be checked with the Marshall County Circuit Clerk.
- For a same-day check, see 24 Hour Arrests; for a broader recent window, use the Arrest Log.
- For release or custody-change alerts, use the VINELink Check. An alert is not an official release order.
- For warrant questions, correction or removal law, and booking-photo access, consult the relevant sections of the county guide.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Illinois Department of Corrections offender search. Federal Bureau of Prisons and ICE locators cover their separate custody systems.
