This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release anyone, post bond, or pull official booking records. For any of those, reach the right Piatt County office directly using the details below.
Looking for an Inmate or a Record?
The fastest official answer about a person in Piatt County custody comes from the jail itself. The Piatt County Sheriff's Office runs the jail inside the Public Safety Building, and the jail information line is the number the county points the public to for inmate questions. Records that staff cannot give out by phone go through the sheriff's FOIA process.
