Lake County Inmate Search
In order to enhance public safety, the Lake County Sheriff's Office provides the Lake County Inmate Search for the general public and law enforcement. Using the Inmate Search, users can search for detailed information about the inmates who are currently incarcerated at the Lake County jail facilities. Although the Sheriff's Office makes every effort to update the information contained on the website, it cannot guarantee the accuracy and timeliness of the information throughout the day. As the website is not updated in real time, users need to refresh the website periodically to get the most recent information.
How to Use Inmate Search to Find Inmates in Lake County Jail?
To find an inmate by the Inmate Search, please visit the website.
Search for Lake County inmates
There are three search criteria: Search by Name, Search by Booking Number, and Search by Booking Date Range.
To search by name, you need to enter the last name (at least three letters) and first name (at least one letter) in the search boxes. To search by booking number, enter the booking number such as L12345 in the search box. To search by booking date range, you need to enter the booking from date and booking to date such as 1/1/2024 in the search boxes or select the dates from the Calendars behind the search boxes.
Then click on the "Search" button at the bottom. A new web page will appear on which a listing of inmate records is shown including the booking number, name, sex, booking date, and location.
To see more details about the inmate, click on the booking number of the inmate. You will see the address, status, date of confinement, court date, disposition, bond type, bond amount, and offense information of the inmate.
You can also get the visitation information and put funds in an inmate's account by clicking the links "Visit Inmate" and "Fund Inmate Account".
