Why Pottawatomie County Sheriff Pages Return 'Page Not Found' and What Families Can Do Next
If you've been trying to reach the Pottawatomie County Sheriff online and keep hitting "page not found," you're not alone. Here are the specific pages returning that error and the most practical next steps.
The Pottawatomie County Sheriff "Contact Us" page (/sheriff/contact-us on the county site) is currently returning a page-not-found message. The exact wording: "We're sorry, but there is not a web page matching your entry."
The Sheriff home page at /sheriff/sheriff-home is also down, showing the same message: "We're sorry, but there is not a web page matching your entry."
A county clerk page is broken too. The County Clerk forms page at /government/county-clerks-office/forms-cc returns the same "We're sorry, but there is not a web page matching your entry." error.
The error message on these pages is fairly specific. It reads "We're sorry, but there is not a web page matching your entry," and it echoes back the address you tried ("You entered: …"). The page also includes a built-in hint: "Return to the home page." That's the site's own suggested recovery when a page has been moved, removed, or is temporarily unavailable.
Tip: Click "Return to the home page" first. It's the quickest way to get back to working navigation when a sheriff page is throwing a 404.
- Use the “Return to the home page” option - The error page itself points you there, and it is often the fastest way to find an updated menu or a renamed department page.
- Search the county site for the Sheriff section - Once you are back on the main site, try the built-in search (if available) for terms like “Sheriff,” “Jail,” “Inmate,” or “Contact.”
- Browse through main navigation (Departments, Government, or similar) - When a direct page like /sheriff/contact-us is missing, the same information is sometimes still reachable through the site’s top menus.
- Try related pages you may need anyway - If you were looking for paperwork or forms, the County Clerk forms page we checked (/government/county-clerks-office/forms-cc) also showed “page not found,” so plan on navigating from the home page instead of relying on old bookmarks.
- Check for an alternate page version - Refresh the page, try a private/incognito window, or try another browser. This will not fix a missing page, but it can rule out a loading or caching issue.
- Look for a site map or an index page - Some county sites keep a directory-style page that still works even when individual department pages are reorganized.
- Use a cached or archived copy for clues - If you can find a cached/archived version of the missing page, it may show you the department name, address block, or the updated page title to search for on the current site.
- Try again later - If the error is tied to a site update or a temporary outage, pages sometimes reappear after maintenance.
- ✓ Click “Return to the home page” on the error screen
- ✓ Use the site’s search for “Sheriff” and “Jail”
- ✓ Check main navigation menus (Departments, Government, etc.)
- ✓ Do not rely on old bookmarks to /sheriff/contact-us or /sheriff/sheriff-home
- ✓ If you need clerk documents, navigate to the County Clerk area from the home page instead of /forms-cc
- ✓ Refresh and try a private/incognito window
- ✓ Try a different browser or device
- ✓ Look for a site map or site directory page
- ✓ Check cached/archived results for the old page title or keywords
- ✓ Try again later if the site appears to be in transition
Note: This article does not include verified phone numbers for the Sheriff's Office or jail. If the online contact pages are down, use the county home page navigation to find current contact details, and confirm you're looking at an official, up-to-date listing.
If you end up on a county or sheriff-related livestream or video hosted on YouTube, expect a cookie and data consent screen before anything plays. The YouTube prompt may start with language like "We use cookies and data to Deliver and maintain Google services." You'll need to choose an option before the livestream loads.
Tip: If the video won't play, look for the cookie consent prompt. Make your selection (accept, reject, or manage options) so the stream can load.
When a sheriff or county site is missing key pages, don't treat online information as your only source for anything time-sensitive. If you're planning travel for a visit, trying to confirm a court-related detail, or working against a deadline, get direct confirmation through an official channel (phone or in person) before you go.
Urgent: If timing matters, don't rely on broken web pages or guesswork. Verify through another official method before you spend money, take off work, or make the trip.
To confirm the problem, we checked three specific Pottawatomie County pages: the Sheriff contact page (/sheriff/contact-us), the Sheriff home page (/sheriff/sheriff-home), and the County Clerk forms page (/government/county-clerks-office/forms-cc). All three returned the same error text: "We're sorry, but there is not a web page matching your entry," along with a "Return to the home page" option.
County websites change, and a "page not found" result can be temporary or tied to a redesign. If you come back later and the pages are restored, or you find a new working route to the Sheriff section through the home page menus, bookmark that path. No sense repeating the same dead link next time.
