This is a private reference service, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the agency responsible for the record or custody event.
Reach the Correct Lee County Office
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office handles county jail intake records and existing booking photographs. Current custody belongs to the jail or Iowa VINE, while a city police report remains with the arresting city agency. Public office hours and phone details below come from the sheriff’s official page.

Choose the source that matches the question:
- For a booking sheet or intake photograph, use the sheriff’s official records form and identify the person, date range, and arresting agency.
- For current jail status or a release notification, call the jail or follow Iowa VINE from the sheriff’s Online Resources page.
- For a recent arrest or city incident, check the home page’s county search path and contact Fort Madison, Keokuk, or West Point police when that agency made the record.
- For a warrant concern, use Wanted Fugitives and confirm through the current clerk, sheriff, or counsel.
- For the filed charge and final result, search Iowa Courts Online or request the named filing from the proper Lee County clerk.
- For a sentenced or supervised state offender, use the Iowa Department of Corrections offender search, not the county jail line.
- For independently known federal or immigration custody, use the federal BOP locator or ICE detainee locator.
