How the Boone County Inmate Search Works
The roster at the top of this page serves as the Boone County inmate search and is synced directly from official booking data. Users may search by first and last name and sort current detainees by name, sex, race, age, city, or state.
The current roster displays each listed detainee’s last name, first name, middle name, suffix, sex, race, age, city, and state. Boone County’s separate 07:00 Report covers recent bookings and releases and may include booking details, charges, case numbers, arresting agencies, bond information, release reasons, and disposition comments.
The jail roster contains operational custody information and is not a court docket. Missouri Case.net contains judicial case information, and the two systems do not automatically synchronize. Information may not appear in both systems at the same time.
Boone County provides roster information as a courtesy and does not guarantee that every entry is complete or free from error. Before relying on information involving charges, bond, case numbers, custody, transfer, or release, call Boone County Jail at (573) 875-1111 for confirmation.
