Jails and Juvenile Detention in Dickinson County, Iowa
Adults arrested anywhere in the county go to the Dickinson County Jail, Sheriff Greg Baloun's lockup sharing the Hill Avenue courthouse in Spirit Lake. Deputies, five city police forces, state troopers and DNR conservation officers all book into it, and its cells hold men and women before trial and after sentencing. The sheriff posts a jail roster, and his office answers 712-336-2793.
Because the sheriff lists all five city police departments among the agencies booking into Hill Avenue, an arrest in any of those Iowa Great Lakes towns normally ends at the county jail.
A teenager picked up near the lakes is a matter for juvenile court, whose Third District office for Dickinson County is in Estherville at 609 1st Ave. North. Iowa juvenile records are confidential, so parents should contact that office or the detaining agency directly.
