The office provides access to incident reports, arrest logs, warrant data, inmate records, and sex offender registry information for this fast-growing county northwest of Indianapolis. You can submit records requests by phone, through an online form, or in person. Indiana's Access to Public Records Act makes most of these records available to anyone who asks.

Boone County Sheriff's Office and Contacts

The Boone County Sheriff's Office serves a county that has grown significantly over the past decade due to its proximity to Indianapolis. The main number is 765-482-1412, operating 24 hours a day. For tips, email tips@co.boone.in.us. For feedback on department service, use citizenfeedback@co.boone.in.us. The Lebanon-based office covers all unincorporated areas of the county and provides services to residents throughout Boone County.

The Boone County Sheriff's Office website is the main public-facing resource for department information. From there, you can access public records forms, inmate search tools, warrant databases, and sex offender registry links.

The sheriff's homepage shown above gives a clear picture of what services are available online versus what requires a phone call or in-person visit.

When you call the main line, the phone menu routes you by need. Press 1 for Corrections, 2 for Administration, Civil Process, and Protective Orders, 3 for Sex Offender Registration, 4 for Dispatch, 5 for a Deputy's voicemail, 6 for Investigations, or 7 for Maintenance. For records requests, Option 2 is the right choice. Staff can take your request by phone or direct you to the online form depending on what you need.

How to Request Boone County Police Records

The Boone County Sheriff contact page lists direct phone numbers and email contacts for each division in the office.

Use the contact page to identify the right staff member before you submit a request. Sending it to the correct division from the start avoids delays and rerouting.

Boone County's sheriff's office has an online records request section under the "I Want To" area of the site. Online forms cover many common request types and allow you to submit without visiting the office. For requests that are more complex or cover multiple incidents, calling Option 2 first is often faster than filling out a form cold. Staff can let you know what details to include and estimate how long the search will take before you commit.

Under IC 5-14-3, the Access to Public Records Act, the office must respond to written requests within 7 days. Oral requests get same-day attention when possible. Denials must be in writing and must cite the applicable exemption. Active investigations, juvenile records, confidential informant data, and some personal information are the most common reasons for a denial or partial redaction. If you disagree with a denial, you can ask the Indiana Public Access Counselor for a free advisory opinion.

Boone County Warrant Search and Inmate Lookup

The Boone County Sheriff warrants database lets anyone check whether a warrant has been issued for a person in the county. The database is searchable by name and is updated on a regular basis.

The warrants page shown above is one of the more useful online tools the Boone County Sheriff's Office provides. It gives direct access to active warrant information without requiring a phone call or in-person visit.

Inmate search is also available through the sheriff's website. You can check current jail residents by name to confirm custody status. For people who have been transferred from the county jail to a state facility, the Indiana Department of Correction runs a separate offender search that covers state sentences. The sheriff's site links to both the local inmate search and the DOC tool.

The office also lets residents pay bond and administrative fees online. This is convenient if you need to post bond or satisfy an outstanding fee without traveling to Lebanon.

Boone County Sex Offender Registry and Court Records

The Boone County Sheriff's Office handles local sex offender registration. Questions about registration status or requirements can be directed to Option 3 on the main phone menu. The public can also search the statewide registry online through the Indiana Sex Offender Registry. Searches can be filtered by county, zip code, or name, and results include current address, photo, and offense details.

Protection orders issued in Boone County, once entered by a court, are added to the statewide system. The Indiana Protection Order Registry is a free public search tool that shows active protective and no-contact orders statewide. Court case records for Boone County are searchable through MyCase Indiana, which shows filings, hearing schedules, and outcomes for criminal and civil matters across all Indiana courts.

Statewide Records and Boone County Crash Reports

For a statewide Indiana criminal history check, use the ISP Limited Criminal History portal. The fee is $15.70 online by credit card or $7.00 by mail. This search covers the criminal history repository managed under IC 10-13-2. All Indiana counties, including Boone, report to that system, so the LCH search captures local arrests and convictions alongside records from other counties statewide.

State police records go through the ISP APRA portal, which is separate from the county-level process. Use the right portal based on which agency originally created the record. If the record was generated by a Boone County Sheriff's deputy, the county office is the right place to request it.

Crash reports from Boone County accidents are available through BuyCrash.com. You need the accident date, report number, or names of the parties involved to search. Body camera footage from Boone County deputies is requested through the same APRA process. Footage from open investigations may be delayed or partially withheld. Any denial arrives in writing with the specific exemption cited. For victim notification, call the VINE line at 866-959-8463 to check an offender's custody status or register for alerts.
