How to Contact an Inmate at Boone County, MO (MO)

Trying to get property back from Boone County? Expect two common hurdles: timing and identification. If the Sheriff's Office is holding items as evidence, nothing gets released until investigations and legal proceedings wrap up. When something is finally released, you'll need to show personal identification at pickup.

Heads up: Evidence can only be released with written authorization from the Boone County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. It won't be released until the investigation and legal case are complete.

Steps to Follow

  • Schedule an appointment to pick up evidence/property. Call (573) 875-1111 ext. 6322 or email evidence@boonemo.gov.
  • Bring personal identification to the release appointment. You will need it when the item is released to you.

If what you're trying to retrieve is considered evidence, don't expect it right away. Those items stay locked up until investigations and legal proceedings are complete. Release may also require written authorization from the Boone County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.
