Official Offices and Lookup Routes

Sioux County Sheriff’s Office
Public Safety Center
4363 Ironwood Ave., Suite 1
Orange City, IA 51041
Administration and records: (712) 737-2280
Jail: (712) 737-3131
Non-emergency communications: (712) 737-3307
Fax: (712) 737-8185
Administrative hours: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The jail operates continuously, but records-office and administrative services follow posted business hours. Confirm holiday or temporary schedule changes by telephone. Choose the route that matches the question:

  • For a booking record or possible booking photograph, follow the county records-request steps. The public roster and press log do not routinely show photographs.
  • For a warrant safety check, use the official sources in the warrant section. Never approach a wanted person.
  • For a new booking, compare Arrests Last 24 Hours with the wider Police Blotter.
  • For current jail status, use the Sioux County roster guide. For release or transfer alerts concerning one person, use VINELink Custody Check.
  • For a city-created incident report, contact the police department shown as the arresting agency. Sioux Center, Orange City, and Rock Valley maintain separate departments.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner or person under state supervision, use the Iowa Department of Corrections offender search.
  • For federal prison custody use the Bureau of Prisons locator; for immigration custody use the ICE detainee locator. A county release-to-agency entry does not establish current federal location.
