How to Search the Talladega County Booking/Confinement Site (31‑day limit)
Need to confirm a recent booking or release in Talladega County? The online booking/confinement search can help—just keep in mind the site only allows searches within a 31-day window.
Start at the Talladega County Sheriff's Office booking/confinement search page. If you hit a snag or need confirmation, the page lists contact numbers: Non-Emergency (256) 362‑2748 and Emergency 911.
Note: The biggest catch with this portal is the built-in date-range restriction. Your search window must fit within 31 days, or you won't get the results you expect.
Set your dates first. The search page explicitly requires you to
- ✓ Pick a start date for your search window.
- ✓ Pick an end date that is no more than 31 days after your start date.
- ✓ If you don’t see what you expect, shift the window (still keeping it within 31 days) and search again.
- ✓ Repeat in 31‑day chunks until you’ve covered the time period you need.
With your date range set, add a name to narrow results. Not sure how the person's name was entered - full legal name, middle name included, hyphenated last name? Try a few variations while keeping the date range tight. That works better than stretching the dates, since the site won't accept more than 31 days anyway.
Tip: Empty results don't mean the person isn't there. Adjust the spelling or try a different 31-day window before giving up.
Got results? Check the timing first. Records outside your selected dates won't appear, so the entry you're looking for might only show up once you shift the window to the right month. Comparing multiple entries? Keep your searches consistent - same 31-day span - so you're not accidentally looking at different slices of time.
Reminder: This search focuses on recent activity. Older bookings won't appear unless you run separate searches covering those earlier dates.
- Re-run the search with a different 31‑day window - move the start/end dates forward or backward and try again; the site requires a date range of 31 days or less.
- Try name variations - swap in/out a middle name or initial, and double-check spelling.
- Keep the window narrow and methodical - if you’re covering multiple months, search them one month at a time so you don’t miss the correct date range.
- Call for help if you’re still stuck - use the Talladega County Sheriff’s Office non‑emergency number listed on the page: (256) 362‑2748.
Need confirmation? Call the Talladega County Sheriff’s Office at (256) 362‑2748 (non‑emergency). For emergencies, call 911.
Two things shape how you should use this tool. First, the 31-day limit means you may need multiple searches to cover a longer period. Second, results are tied to the dates you choose - pick the wrong month, and you'll miss the record even if it exists.
Bottom line: If you need older information or you can’t locate someone after checking several 31‑day windows, call the Sheriff’s Office non‑emergency line for the quickest clarification.
