Why Harvey County's Website Pages Show a ‘Verifying You Are Human’ Message — and What Families Can Do

Multiple Harvey County website pages are displaying the same

• ✓ Refresh the page once or twice and give it a few seconds to complete the check.
• ✓ Open the page in a private/incognito window.
• ✓ Try a different browser (for example, switch between Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge).
• ✓ Try a different device (phone vs. computer).
• ✓ Switch networks: try cellular data instead of Wi‑Fi, or a different Wi‑Fi network.
• ✓ Clear cookies and cache for the harveycounty.gov site, then try again.
• ✓ Temporarily turn off a VPN, ad blocker, or privacy/security extension and reload.
• ✓ If you’re on a work or public network, try from home - some networks trigger stricter security checks.
• ✓ If nothing changes, stop retrying over and over; use the offline options below so you’re not stuck waiting on the website.

• ✓ Use an official phone number to call the sheriff’s office or detention center and ask to verify custody status and basic public information. If the staff directory page won’t load, get the main number from a trusted official source (for example, printed government documents or other verified government listings) and ask to be transferred.
• ✓ If you’re local, consider going in person for time-sensitive questions - especially if you need paperwork, bonding guidance, or confirmation that someone is currently in custody.
• ✓ Check state or court public records tools that publish docket or custody-related information (when available), and use them only as a cross-check - not your only source.
• ✓ Look for a cached copy or a saved screenshot of the page you need if you previously accessed it (this can help with things like general instructions), but treat it as potentially outdated.
• ✓ Be cautious with third-party inmate-search sites. They can be useful for leads, but confirm anything important by contacting an official source before you act.
• ✓ If you’re trying to find staff contact info, keep in mind the sheriff staff-directory page itself appears to be behind the same verification block - so you may need to rely on the main line and ask for the correct unit or person.

When the jail-management-lookup page is stuck behind a verification screen, online inmate searches become unreliable. You can't count on pulling up a roster when you need it. If you're trying to confirm where someone is, whether they've been booked, or which agency has them, calling or going in person is usually faster than waiting for the site to cooperate.

You may encounter vendor services while trying to help a loved one - things like deposits, messaging, or account tools. One example families often see elsewhere is JailATM; its site includes branding that identifies it as "JailATM™ ©2026 Tech Friends, Inc." Because the county pages are blocked, we can't confirm whether Harvey County uses JailATM or any specific vendor for money, messaging, or other services. Before sending funds, sharing personal information, or creating an account, verify the correct vendor directly through an official Harvey County source - call and ask what service is used and how to access it.

• ✓ Confirm the source before you rely on it (official county information beats screenshots and third-party listings).
• ✓ Cross-check anything urgent by phone or in person, especially custody status, bonding steps, and where to send money.
• ✓ Don’t send money or personal info to an unverified account, app, or website just because it “looks official.”
• ✓ Save records of what you were told and what you paid (dates, names, receipts, confirmation numbers).
• ✓ If you’re trying to find the right contact person, remember the sheriff staff-directory page appears blocked - so plan on using a main number and asking to be routed to the correct unit.

The available information doesn't include a county statement explaining why the verification screen is appearing, and it doesn't confirm any specific vendor contracts for deposits or messaging. You may have to do what families often end up doing: verify by phone or in person rather than relying on the website. If you're blocked online, focus on what you can control. Try the troubleshooting steps once, then switch to an official offline confirmation - don't stay stuck waiting for a web filter to clear.
