About This Site

Why the Sources Differ

Illinois law permits access to much arrest information, but the useful record is not always online. The Piatt County Sheriff's Office and Jail create and hold county booking material, while the Circuit Clerk holds the case history that follows an arrest. The Illinois Department of Corrections supplies a separate search for people in state custody. Written public-record requests cover material that is not exposed through a public search. This site organizes those official routes and explains their limits without republishing photographs.

What the Reference Includes

The content separates a fresh booking from current custody, a court disposition, and a later state or federal placement.

• The county arrest hub explains recent-arrest checks, jail custody, booking photographs, warrants, and lawful correction or removal routes.
• Separate pages distinguish same-day checks, the multi-day blotter, and VINELink alerts.
• City pages identify the municipal police source and explain when the county jail or another facility may hold the custody record.
• Request instructions show which agency may hold a report, booking record, photograph, or court disposition.
