Official Jackson County Contacts
The Jackson County Sheriff's Office and Jackson County Jail operate from the Law Enforcement Center at 1700 E. Maple Street, Maquoketa, IA 52060. The administrative office phone is 563-652-3312, and countywide non-emergency dispatch is 563-652-2468. Administrative hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding county holidays. Use 911 only for emergencies. The right destination depends on the question:
- For a Jackson County arrest record or booking identification photo, follow the official Sheriff's records-request steps on the county records guide.
- For current county custody, call the Sheriff or dispatch because Jackson County publishes no online roster or recent-booking feed.
- For a filed charge, hearing, or final disposition, use Iowa Courts Online or contact the Jackson County District Court clerk.
- For custody-change alerts, use the official IowaVINE route and contact the County Attorney about formal victim notification.
- For a person in state corrections custody or supervision, use the Iowa Department of Corrections offender search.
- For federal prison custody, use the Bureau of Prisons locator; for immigration detention, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
- For a city-created report, contact Maquoketa, Bellevue, or Preston police; the Sheriff remains the custodian of county jail booking material it creates or maintains.
