This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, free anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the agency that holds the record for an authoritative answer.

Administration hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
The HCSO Request Reports page says records requests may be submitted in person or by mail at this address. Communications is available around the clock when administration is closed, but that does not make the records counter a 24-hour service.
- For an existing booking record or photograph, follow the request steps on the home page and identify the person, date range, and arresting agency.
- For a same-day custody question, use Arrested Today; for a longer public-log window, use Arrest Reports.
- For custody status or release and transfer alerts, use VINE Arrest Check.
- For a court case or warrant-related record, use Iowa Courts Online or the Hardin County Clerk of Court routes on the home page.
- For state custody or supervision, use Iowa Department of Corrections Offender Search. Federal criminal and immigration custody require the BOP and ICE locators.
An arrest or booking is not a finding of guilt. Charges may change, and every person is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court. This site does not display galleries of booking photographs.
