The kind of question determines the office to use.
- For a booking record, intake image, current county custody, or release status, contact the Monona County Sheriff.
- For a city officer's report, contact Onawa, Mapleton, or Whiting as appropriate.
- For a filed case and disposition, use Iowa Courts Online or the Monona County clerk.
- For Iowa corrections supervision, use the Iowa Department of Corrections offender search.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP or ICE locator within its stated scope.
- For warrants, follow the official checks on the Most Wanted Fugitives page.
Sheriff and Jail Contact
No sheriff records email, confirmed records-counter hours, booking-photo fee, or response schedule is published. Call first, ask for the lawful custodian, and request a cost estimate. The sheriff page prints 712-423-2525, while the current Iowa county directory prints 712-433-2525. Verify the correct number before relying on either.
