Who to Call About an Inmate at St. Joseph County Jail: Phone Numbers & Emails

For general information about St. Joseph County Jail, call 574-245-6500. Start here if you're unsure which department handles your question.

Questions about a recent arrest or booking status? Call the Jail Booking Desk at 574-245-6518. This is the line to use when you need to confirm someone has been booked and find out what happens next.

For non-emergency dispatch in St. Joseph County, call 574-235-9611. Use this when you need law enforcement but the situation isn't urgent. For immediate emergencies, call 911.

For questions about day-to-day jail operations, contact the Jail Division at 574-245-6501. This is often the right starting point when you need to reach the jail side directly about something happening inside the facility.

Need documentation or record information? Call the Records Division at 574-245-6535. This number handles records and accident report requests - a better fit than the booking desk when you're looking for paperwork.

For administrative matters - or if you've tried other divisions without luck - call Administration at 574-245-6540. This is the general administration line for the St. Joseph County Police Department, which includes jail administration.
