Official Ida County Contacts
The Ida County Sheriff’s Office operates the Ida County Jail and publishes the official current-inmate and 48-hour release views. Its verified contact details are:
Ida County Sheriff’s Office and Ida County Jail401 Moorehead Street
Ida Grove, IA 51445
24-hour non-emergency telephone: 712-364-3146
Jail email: jail@idacountysheriff.us
Jail Administrator Corey Trucke: ctrucke@idacountysheriff.us
Jail Lead Lena Hawthorne: lhawthorne@idacountysheriff.us
Public office hours: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The agency’s current site lists those public hours, while an older county directory lists a later closing time. Call before visiting. Use 911 for an emergency. The Sheriff does not publish a separate records-unit number, booking-record fee, booking-photo fee, or response-time promise. Ask the main office about cost, delivery options, and the reason for any redaction or denial.
Choose the source that matches the record or custody stage:
- For a mugshot, booking record, current inmate, or release in the prior 48 hours, begin with the Ida County records hub and then contact the Sheriff’s Office if the live view is not enough.
- For an active warrant, use the Sheriff’s official check route summarized under Wanted Fugitives, then confirm by telephone.
- For a recent arrest, check the current roster, 48-hour release view, and event-driven Sheriff press releases. Ida County has no separate official multi-day booking feed.
- For the final result of a criminal case, search Iowa Courts Online or call the Ida County Clerk of Court at 712-364-2628.
- For a sentenced person in state corrections, use the Iowa Department of Corrections Offender Search.
- For a person in federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
