Before You Rely on Saline County's Inmate Roster: What the Disclaimer Means and Who to Contact

Saline County's inmate roster disclaimer states that the information is collected and posted for reader convenience. It also notes that the Saline County Detention Center can't certify the accuracy or authenticity of what you're seeing - even though they try to keep it current. The takeaway? The roster is a helpful starting point, not a document to base decisions on. The disclaimer goes further, warning readers not to rely on the information "in any manner" and stating that Saline County and related parties aren't liable for decisions, actions, or omissions based on what's posted.

Since the roster is presented as a convenience tool - and the Detention Center says it can't certify accuracy or authenticity - assume any entry could be incomplete or outdated. That doesn't mean the roster is wrong. It means it's not promised to be complete and shouldn't be treated like a certified record. Making time-sensitive choices? Showing up for a court date, arranging childcare, traveling for a visit, checking whether someone is still in custody? Verify through an official source rather than treating the roster as the final word. The disclaimer tells you directly: don't rely on the website information alone.

For custody questions in Saline County, start with the Saline County Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff has custody of the county jail, so that's the office to contact when you need confirmation beyond what the online roster shows.

The Sheriff's Office also works closely with the courts. As chief enforcement officer of the circuit courts, the Saline County Sheriff's office executes summonses, enforces judgments and court orders, and makes arrests on warrants issued by the courts. This means you'll often need two lanes of verification: custody status through the Sheriff/Detention side, and case details through the court side. The roster can point you in the right direction, but official answers usually come from the offices responsible for custody and court actions.

• ✓ Contact the Saline County Sheriff’s Office to confirm whether the person is currently in custody at the county jail.
• ✓ Ask for confirmation from an official source instead of relying on the online roster, since the Detention Center says it cannot certify accuracy/authenticity.
• ✓ Contact the appropriate court for official case status and court-related information.
• ✓ When you speak to someone, write down the date/time of the call and the name or title of the person who provided the information.
• ✓ If you’re making a decision with real consequences (travel, missed work, legal deadlines), treat the roster as a starting point and verify before acting.

When you call to verify information, keep your questions specific. Start with custody: "Can you confirm whether this person is currently in custody at the Saline County jail?" Then ask whether the roster entry you're looking at is current, since the Detention Center says it can't certify what's posted online. If the person is in custody, ask whether the booking information you're seeing matches their records - and whether there's anything you should check with the court for the official case timeline. Your goal: turn "I saw it online" into "I confirmed it with the office responsible."

For court information, Arkansas's court case search site (ARCourts) includes tips for navigating searches and troubleshooting help if documents won't open. One common issue: Safari pop-up settings. If documents won't load on your device, try allowing pop-ups in Safari.

Another official public source is the Arkansas Crime Information Center (ACIC) Sex Offender Registry search. ACIC provides a public registry search for Arkansas residents. You can search by address, city, county, ZIP code, or place, and view publishable offenders on a map for the area you enter. The registry also offers email notifications for offender address updates - you can subscribe for up to 10 addresses and receive alerts if an offender moves within a specified radius.

1. Use the roster as a starting point - note what you see, but remember it’s posted for convenience and isn’t certified as accurate/authentic.
2. Confirm custody with the Sheriff’s Office - the Saline County Sheriff has custody of the county jail, so that’s the right place to verify whether someone is currently held there.
3. Check the official court side through ARCourts - use the court case search for case activity, and if documents won’t open on Safari, adjust pop-up settings using the site’s troubleshooting guidance.
4. Use ACIC’s registry when it’s relevant - ACIC provides a public Sex Offender Registry search you can use alongside other official sources.
5. Hold off on urgent decisions until you verify - travel plans, missed work, and legal deadlines deserve confirmation from the responsible offices, not a convenience roster alone.
