First-Visit Checklist: What to Bring & Expect at Daviess/DeKalb County Jail
Planning ahead makes your first visit run smoother. This checklist covers the jail's appointment rules, visit limits, and dress code so you don't get turned away at Daviess/DeKalb County Regional Jail.
Here's the key limit: one visit per week, one hour max. If you're traveling from out of town or coordinating with family, sort out who's visiting that week before anyone makes the trip.
Call 1-660-367-2200 to schedule your visit. The line is open Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. This is the main number for Daviess/DeKalb County Regional Jail (102 N Meadows Lane, Pattonsburg, MO 64670) - your quickest way to check available appointment times.
Note: The jail lists visiting hours as Wednesday through Sunday, with video visits scheduled through Cidnet.net. Since these details don't fully line up, call ahead to confirm your exact options and timing.
Appointments fill on a first-come, first-serve basis. Got a specific day in mind? Don't wait - slots can disappear fast, especially with the one-visit-per-week limit.
Bring a current photo ID. You must be at least 17 years old with valid, photo identification. Visitors under 17 need to come with an adult and still need proper ID.
Dress Code
- ✓ No halter tops
- ✓ No tube tops
- ✓ Pants or dresses must be cut below the knee

Show up sober and ready to follow directions. Anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol will be turned away. Visitors on probation or parole aren't allowed to visit. Break the rules, and you'll be removed - potentially losing future visitation privileges.
Warning: Any individual discovered delivering contraband into the facility will be prosecuted.
- Confirm your appointment by phone - Call 1-660-367-2200 Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, to get scheduled and verify the details.
- Use video visitation scheduling if that’s what you’re setting up - Visits are done by video conferencing and are appointment-only; schedule through Cidnet.net.

Before you head out, remember: one visit per week, one hour max, first-come first-serve. A quick phone call can save you from arriving when no slots are left.
