This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, accept or post bond, retrieve an official booking record, or correct an agency file. Contact the government office that holds the record for those services.
Find the Right Lawrence County Office
The Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office operates the county jail and public roster. Its official contact page lists the office below. The main phone is available around the clock, while the published office hours apply to routine office business. The Sheriff warns that email is not monitored at all times and that sensitive details should not be sent in plain text.
Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office1525 Missouri Drive
Mt. Vernon, MO 65712
Phone: 417-466-2131
Office hours: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Choose the route that matches the question:
- For a county booking record or photo, start with the county roster and records-request instructions, then direct a focused Sunshine Law request to the Sheriff.
- For someone booked or released in the latest daily window, use 24 Hour Arrests and call the jail when confirmation is urgent.
- For older published entries, compare the Arrest Log routes with the official record and request a retained record when needed.
- For release or transfer notice about one person, use the VINELink Check and verify urgent status with the jail.
- For an Aurora, Mount Vernon, or Marionville police report, contact the city department that made the report. A county jail image remains a Sheriff record.
- For a sentenced person in state custody or supervision, use the Missouri Department of Corrections Offender Web Search or its constituent-services contact route.
- For federal or immigration detention, use the official Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator because neither system is the Lawrence County jail roster.
A booking charge is an accusation and can change in court. Missouri Case.net or the appropriate court clerk is the route for public docket events and a later disposition. Juvenile, sealed, expunged, victim-protected, or investigative material may be withheld or absent from public search tools.
