This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release anyone, post bond, schedule jail visits, or obtain official booking records for you. For those actions, use the appropriate public office or official locator listed below.
Where to Start
For current Tama County jail custody, the primary local office is the Tama County Sheriff's Office and Jail at 100 N. Main St., Toledo, IA 52342. The Communications/Jail line is 641-484-3760. Administration, Civil, and records can be reached at 641-484-4111, and the fax number is 641-484-3254. Business office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sheriff Casey Schmidt leads the office, and Brian Randall is listed as Jail Administrator.
For mailed sheriff report-copy requests, send the request with a self-addressed stamped envelope and $5.00 to Tama County Sheriff's Office, ATTN: Records, 100 N. Main St., Toledo, IA 52342. Use the county jail line for immediate custody questions, and use the records line or mailed request process for sheriff report copies.
- For a person currently held in the county jail, begin with jail inmate records or the official roster at tamacountysheriff.org/jail/inmates/.
- For booking-photo and roster-photo questions, use jail roster mugshots and confirm any available record with the Sheriff's Office.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and Iowa Courts Online. Court routing may also involve the Tama County Clerk of Court.
- For the local detention facility, use the Tama County Jail page listed in the footer or call the jail before visiting.
- For a sentenced Iowa prisoner or DOC supervision record, use the Iowa Department of Corrections Offender Search at doc-search.iowa.gov/Offender/Search.
- For custody notifications in Iowa, use Iowa VINELink at vinelink.vineapps.com/state/IA/ENGLISH.
- For a federal prisoner, search the Bureau of Prisons locator at bop.gov/inmate_locator.
- For an immigration detainee, search ICE ODLS at locator.ice.gov.
- For prosecution, victim-witness, or charging questions after filing, the Tama County Attorney or the court clerk may be the correct office rather than the jail.
