Cass County Quick Facts
Cass County Sheriff's Office
The Cass County Sheriff's Office is headquartered at 100 Court Park in Logansport and runs the county jail. The office handles all bookings and custody operations for Cass County. Logansport is both the county seat and the largest community in the county, and the courthouse complex there is where most criminal matters in Cass County are processed. The sheriff's office also handles civil process, warrants, and courthouse security for the county.
Cass County is part of Indiana's County Jail Public Portal system, which means booking data flows from the jail management software to the statewide INjail portal. This allows anyone to check current inmate listings without calling the jail directly. The sheriff's department page on the Cass County government website provides contact details and office hours. For specific questions about a booking or a person in custody, the main line at 574-753-7800 connects to the sheriff's dispatch.
Jail staff can answer basic questions about current inmates. For records requests that go beyond what the portal shows, written requests may be needed under Indiana's open records law.

Finding Cass County Recent Bookings Online
The primary online source for Cass County recent bookings is the Indiana County Jail Public Portal. Go to the site and look for Cass County in the list of participating jails. The portal shows a live roster of current inmates including names, booking dates, and charges. No account or login is needed. The data comes directly from the Cass County Jail's booking system and updates as new entries are made.
If the person you are searching for does not appear in the portal, there are a few possible reasons. They may have been released before you searched. They might have been transferred to another facility or to IDOC custody. Some arrests also do not result in a formal jail booking, particularly low-level offenses handled through citation. In those cases, no booking record will exist.
When the portal does not have what you need, calling the Cass County Jail directly at 574-753-7800 is the next step. Jail staff handle incoming calls and can confirm custody status for a named individual. They can also tell you the bond amount if one has been set. This is often faster than waiting for the online system to update after a new booking.
What Booking Records Show in Cass County
Indiana law requires that booking data be disclosed to the public within 24 hours of an arrest. This requirement comes from the Indiana Access to Public Records Act at IC 5-14-3. The Cass County Jail meets this by feeding data into the statewide INjail portal. Under IC 5-14-3-5, the specific items that must be disclosed include name, address, physical description, charges, and the time of booking.
A Cass County booking record will typically show the person's full legal name, date of birth, booking date and time, the charges filed by law enforcement or the prosecutor, and any bond that has been set. Physical description fields such as height, weight, hair color, and eye color are often included. Mugshot photos may be available depending on how the Cass County system is configured. Keep in mind that this data reflects what was captured at booking and may not reflect later changes to charges or the outcome of the court case.
It is important to understand that a booking is not a conviction. People are sometimes booked and released when charges are dropped or reduced. The record shows that a person was processed into the jail, not that they were found guilty of anything. For case outcome information, check the Indiana MyCase portal, which has Cass County criminal case records including dispositions and sentencing.
Additional Search Tools for Cass County Records
Several other tools can supplement what you find in the Cass County jail portal. The VineLink system is one of the most useful. It lets you sign up to receive automated alerts when a specific inmate's custody status changes. If you need to know the moment someone is released from the Cass County Jail, VineLink is the right tool. Registration is free and alerts come by phone or text.
The Indiana Department of Correction offender locator at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov covers people serving sentences in state prison. If a Cass County case resulted in a state prison sentence, the person will no longer appear in the county jail system. The IDOC locator picks up where the county portal leaves off. You can search by name to find their current facility and expected release date if that information is public.
The Indiana State Police criminal history tool at in.gov/isp/criminal-history-services provides statewide arrest history. This goes beyond recent bookings and covers older records across Indiana. A fee applies for certified background check results. For help figuring out which agency has the records you need, the Indiana PAC at in.gov/pac (317-234-0906) can point you in the right direction.
Cass County Court Records
Jail bookings in Cass County often result in court filings. Court records are held separately from jail booking records and cover all stages of a criminal case. The Indiana MyCase portal at public.courts.in.gov/mycase lets you search Cass County Superior Court and Circuit Court records by name or case number. Criminal cases, civil cases, and traffic matters are all searchable. Most records are free to view, though some documents require a small fee to access in full.
If you know someone was booked in Cass County and want to track what happened in court, start with MyCase. Look up the name to find associated cases. You will be able to see charges, hearing dates, attorney appearances, plea information, and final dispositions. Court records are updated as new filings and rulings happen, so checking back regularly can show you how a case progresses.
Expungement in Cass County
Indiana's expungement statute at IC 35-38-9 gives people a path to seal arrest and conviction records under certain conditions. If you were booked in Cass County and charges were later dropped or dismissed, you may be able to petition for expungement right away. For convictions, waiting periods apply based on offense class. Once a Cass County court grants expungement, the record should be removed from public-facing databases including the INjail portal.
The Cass County courts handle these petitions. There are specific filing fees and procedural steps involved. An attorney can help, but it is also possible to file on your own using forms available from the court clerk. Indiana Legal Services and the Indiana PAC office at 317-234-0906 can connect you with free or low-cost legal help if you need guidance on whether you qualify under IC 35-38-9.
