Livingston County Jail Roster
The Livingston County Sheriff's Office current inmate roster is the first public lookup point for Livingston County inmate records. It is a free county page with no login. The roster has a name search field, a search button, current-inmate listings, and a recent-release channel. It shows booking-style cards and profile pages, so a person can move from a name result to details such as booking date, arresting agency, charges, bond, and the booking photo when one is posted.
This county has an important local split. The sheriff's office publishes the Livingston County roster, but many detainees are physically housed in regional detention facilities. Several roster entries observed during the research period identified people as housed at Caldwell County. That means the roster is the right county record channel, while visitation, mail, phone calls, and commissary often follow the rules of the holding facility. For custody questions that are not clear online, the Livingston County Sheriff's Office is the local starting point.
Recent releases have their own roster path through the Livingston County released-inmate roster. That channel is useful when a person bonded out, was released on recognizance, or was transferred off the current list. Older booking records, full arrest reports, jail register entries, and records that no longer appear online may require a Sunshine Law request to the records custodian.
Use Livingston County Roster
The roster search works best when the spelling of the person's name is known, but the public form does not post a minimum character count or wildcard rule. Search broadly first. Then open the matching profile and compare age, booking date, arresting agency, and charges. If a name is common, the booking number and arresting agency can help separate two records.
- Open the Livingston County Sheriff's roster and stay on the Current Inmates view for a person believed to be in custody now.
- Use the Name Search field with a last name or full name. If no match appears, try a shorter spelling variation.
- Open the profile that matches the person. Review the booking date, charge line, bond field, and arresting agency.
- Check whether the profile or charge text says the person is housed at Caldwell County or another regional jail.
- Use the 48 Hour Release view when the person may have bonded out, been released, or moved off the current list.
- Call the Livingston County Sheriff's Office if the person was just arrested, transferred, or not shown online.
The current roster is a custody publication, not a final court record. A booking charge can change after the prosecutor reviews reports and files charges in court. Court case status, hearing dates, and amended charges belong in Missouri court records, while the roster remains focused on jail custody and local booking data.
Livingston County Search Fields
The Livingston County roster has a simple public search interface. It does not require a date of birth, booking number, or account. The tab choices matter because current custody and recent release status are different. A person missing from current inmates may still appear in the release view for a short window, or may require a direct records request if the release is older.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name Search | Text | Optional or unspecified | Search by inmate name; no public wildcard rules or minimum characters are posted. |
| Search | Button | Not applicable | Runs the name search against the visible roster data. |
| Current Inmates | Tab or link | Not applicable | Shows people currently listed in custody on the sheriff roster. |
| 48 Hour Release | Tab or link | Not applicable | Shows recent releases for the public release window. |
The current-roster screenshot from the official Livingston County roster page shows the name search box and the current-inmate and release tabs used for the lookup.
The same fields are the practical entry point before calling a facility, asking about bond, or checking whether a person has moved to a released listing.
Livingston County Booking Record
A Livingston County inmate profile is a booking record, not a conviction record. It can identify the person, the booking event, the arresting agency, and the custody status shown by the sheriff. It may include a booking photo, but that photo is an intake image only. For booking-photo context and public-record limits, the separate Livingston County jail mugshots resource covers photo access in more detail.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Public name tied to the booking or custody entry. |
| Mugshot | Booking photo when the sheriff's roster publishes one. |
| Booking Number | Local booking identifier, separate from a Missouri DOC number. |
| Booking Date | Date the person entered the local custody system. |
| Age / Sex / Race | Basic public demographic fields shown on profiles. |
| Arresting Agency | Agency that made the arrest or lodged the custody entry. |
| Charges | Booking or arrest charges, which may differ from final court charges. |
| Bond | Bond amount, bond type, or hold status when the roster shows it. |
| Release Date | Release date when the record is in the recent-release channel. |
| Status | Current roster or released roster context for custody status. |
Full Social Security numbers, detailed medical information, protected victim data, juvenile information, and closed investigative material are not expected on the public roster. Missouri law may close or limit some records after dismissal, acquittal, expungement, or another qualifying outcome.
Livingston County Access Channels
Online roster search is only one channel. The better fallback chain is roster, sheriff phone line, sheriff office contact, holding facility confirmation, records request, and then the state or federal locator if the person is outside county custody. This sequence avoids a common mistake: sending mail or funds to the wrong place because a Livingston County booking record and the physical jail address are not the same thing.
Key custody split: Livingston County publishes the jail roster, but Caldwell County or Daviess DeKalb may control visits, mail, phones, and commissary for the person housed there.
The Livingston County Sheriff's Office is led by Sheriff Dustin Woelfle and lists the main office at 919 Jackson Street, Chillicothe, MO 64601. The public phone number is 660-646-0515, and the fax number is 660-646-0520. The sheriff's contact page provides the public office channel for custody questions and records routing. No dedicated online Sunshine Law form was located in the sheriff forms page during the research pass, so a written request should identify the exact record sought and ask the office for the custodian, fee rules, and submission method.
The sheriff also publishes an official mobile app page with Apple and Google store links. The app is a useful channel for sheriff alerts and mobile public safety content. The research did not confirm an app-only inmate roster, so the public web roster remains the main inmate-record search source.
Livingston County Jail Facilities
Livingston County inmate records can name one county, while facility rules come from another agency. Confirm the housing location before visiting, sending mail, or depositing funds. Caldwell County Detention Center is the primary physical detention facility for Livingston County custody research. Daviess DeKalb Regional Jail is a regional option for overflow, conflict, or assigned custody. Chillicothe Correctional Center is different because it is a Missouri DOC prison for sentenced women, not a county booking jail.
Caldwell County Detention Center
280 West Main Street
Kingston, MO 64650
816-586-5245
Primary regional detention channel for many Livingston County detainees; confirm housing before travel.
Daviess DeKalb Regional Jail
102 North Meadows Lane
Pattonsburg, MO 64670
660-367-2200
Regional jail used when a Livingston County detainee is assigned there by custody needs or court context.
Chillicothe Correctional Center
3151 Litton Road
Chillicothe, MO 64601
660-646-4032
State prison for sentenced DOC custody; use the Missouri DOC locator, not the county roster.
Livingston County Visit Rules
Visitation depends on where the person is housed. The Livingston County roster may answer whether a person is in local custody, but the visit schedule, visitor ID rule, mail format, phone vendor, and money process come from the holding facility. Call first if the roster was updated recently, if a court transport is pending, or if a release or transfer may have occurred.
| Facility | Visit Type | Schedule or Process | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caldwell County Detention Center | Facility-published visit method | Use the official detention page for the current schedule. | Bring government-issued ID and confirm the correct entrance before leaving. |
| Daviess DeKalb Regional Jail | Facility-published visitation | Use the regional jail site when the person is housed there. | The FAQ references NCIC video visits and phone time. |
| Chillicothe Correctional Center | DOC prison visits | DOC approval and facility schedule are required. | State prison visits use DOC rules on ID, dress, approval, and conduct. |
Mail and funds follow the same location rule. Caldwell County publishes jail mail, commissary, phone, and deposit information for its detention center. Daviess DeKalb references NCIC services, JailATM deposits, and money-order rules in its FAQ. DOC prisoners use Missouri DOC mail and money-transfer rules, with an offender name and DOC number rather than a local booking number.
Note: Confirm current custody before scheduling a visit or sending money, because a transfer can make the right channel change fast.
County DOC Federal Lookup
Livingston County inmate records should not be mixed with Missouri prison records or federal detention records. The county roster is best for pre-trial detainees, short local sentences, local warrants, and recent releases listed by the sheriff. Once a person is convicted and sentenced to state prison, the Missouri Department of Corrections offender search is the right system. For federal sentenced custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator. For immigration detention, use ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Usually Shows |
|---|---|---|
| County pre-trial or local sentence | Livingston County Sheriff's roster | Booking details, charges, bond, arresting agency, and current or recent-release status. |
| Sentenced Missouri prison custody | Missouri DOC offender search | DOC number, prison facility, offense or sentence data, and release or parole information when public. |
| Federal sentenced custody | BOP inmate locator | Federal register number, age, release date, and BOP facility status. |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | Custody search by A-number and country, or biographical information and country of birth. |
| Custody-status notifications | Missouri VINELink | Search and notification registration for custody changes where supported. |
DOC and federal records use different identifiers. A Livingston County booking number is not a DOC number, and a DOC number is not a BOP register number. A detainer is also not the same as a transfer. A detainer is a hold or request from another agency, while a transfer means the person has moved to another custody system or facility.
Livingston County Booking Process
Booking begins after an arrest by the sheriff, Chillicothe Police, Missouri State Highway Patrol, or another authorized agency. Intake includes identification, search, property inventory, booking photo, fingerprints, medical screening, charge entry, and housing classification. Classification means the jail's risk and housing review. It helps the facility decide where a person should be placed and what restrictions may apply.
The roster may not update the moment an arrest happens. A person can be in intake, waiting on paperwork, being transported, or held under another agency before the public page reflects the event. Bond can also change after first appearance. A no-bond hold means payment alone will not secure release at that stage. A PR bond, short for personal recognizance, is release based on a promise to appear and follow conditions.
For court charges after booking, Missouri Case.net and the Livingston County court offices are the better sources because the court record can show the filed complaint, information, indictment, docket entries, bond orders, and case outcome. The custody roster and Livingston County court records after jail arrest serve different record needs.
Older Livingston County Records
When an inmate record is not on the current roster or recent-release page, a public-records request may be needed. Missouri Sunshine Law requires a records custodian and provides the framework for requesting public records. A good request names the person, date range, type of record, and agency. For jail records, useful terms include booking record, arrest report, jail register entry, release record, mugshot, warrant record, and incident report.
Missouri's law favors open records, but some law-enforcement material can be closed or redacted. Investigative reports, juvenile material, protected victim information, sealed records, expunged records, medical data, and some dismissed or closed-case records may not be released in full. If the person was housed by a contracted jail, Livingston County may hold the arrest or booking record while the regional facility holds housing, mail, commissary, or visit records.
Start with the sheriff's contact channel for the records custodian. Ask whether the request should be sent by mail, fax, email, web form, or in person. Also ask about copy fees, search time, expected response timing, and whether the office needs proof of identity or a signed authorization for non-public material.
