The Sheriff page does not publish fixed records-counter hours or promise a round-the-clock roster answer. For a maintained booking record or available photo, use the official Sheriff FOIA form. It directs email submissions to adminassist@crawfordcounty.illinois.gov and fredchinn@crawfordcounty.illinois.gov. For an emergency, call 911.
Choose the office by the record and custody stage:
- For a booking photo, current jail entry, or local booking file, begin with the Crawford County arrest hub and contact the Sheriff for verification.
- For someone just arrested, use the roster or 24 Hour Arrests; use the Arrest Log for several days of activity.
- For a case outcome, contact the Crawford County Circuit Clerk, not the jail.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Illinois Department of Corrections inmate search.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP or ICE locator.
- For release or transfer alerts, use Illinois VINE and confirm an uncertain result with VINE or the jail.
