Crawford County Sheriff Office
The Crawford County Sheriff is based at the Judicial Plaza in English. The office handles law enforcement across the county, runs the jail, and maintains booking records as required by Indiana law.

The inmate info page on the sheriff website links to this system. Note that the page at crawfordcountyinsheriff.com/inmate-info has been known to time out at times. If the link does not load, call the sheriff directly at 812-338-2802 to ask about a specific person in Crawford County custody.
When the county website is not reachable, the Indiana county jail portal is a good backup. The state portal at public.indianajail.gov pulls inmate data from county systems including Crawford County. Try that if the sheriff site is down or slow to load.

How Crawford County Handles Booking Records
Indiana Code 5-14-3-5 sets the rules for how quickly jail booking records must be made public. In Crawford County, as in all Indiana counties, basic arrest information must be available within 24 hours of a booking. This includes the name of the person arrested, the charges, and the time and place of the arrest. Bond information is added as it becomes available.
Crawford County is a small county with a modest jail population. Bookings happen throughout the week, and most are processed within a few hours of arrest. The JailTracker system used by the Crawford County Sheriff is designed to make this data easy to update and share. Once a record is entered, it should appear on the inmate info page quickly.
If you need records beyond what is on the current roster, the Crawford County Circuit Court in English handles case filings. Indiana's MyCase portal at public.courts.in.gov/mycase lets you search court cases by name or case number. Once a Crawford County booking leads to formal charges, the court case appears in MyCase. You can see hearing dates, filings, and case outcomes there.
