How to Report Problems With Wyandotte County’s Inmate Search and Who to Contact

Most issues with Wyandotte County's inmate search fall into two buckets: accuracy problems (the information shown is wrong or outdated) and technical problems (the page won't load, buttons don't work, or search results won't display). These two types of issues get reported through different channels. For accuracy complaints about information on the Wyandotte County Sheriff's Office website, the Sheriff's Office asks you to submit a written complaint to their Website Manager. If the problem is with the inmate lookup tool itself, the Bluhorse-hosted page includes a dedicated "Please Click Here" option specifically for reporting website functionality problems. That same hosted page also notes that questions about site content should be directed to the facility, which is a separate route from reporting a technical glitch.
