Leon County jail inmate search

You can check who is in custody using the Leon County Sheriff's Office Inmate Search. The sheriff's office runs this tool for the Leon County Detention Facility. If an arrest just happened, the person may still be in intake and won't show on the list yet. Call the releasing office if you need help.

Every local law enforcement agency brings arrested people to the Leon County Detention Facility. New arrivals go through booking before their names appear online, so call 850-606-3526 to check on a recent arrest. People held in custody attend First Appearance, which is the first court hearing before a judge. The Detention Facility FAQ states that hearings happen in courtroom 2D at the Leon County Court House. They begin at 11:00 a.m. on weekdays, and at 8:00 a.m. on weekends and holidays.

Different jail offices handle specific questions, so dial the line that fits your need. The Detention Facility FAQ and the Detention Facility page list these numbers:

• Releasing office (bond): 850-606-3526.
• Watch Commander: 850-606-3500, used for reporting a self-harm concern, not for general jail information.
