Jails and Juvenile Detention in Dubuque County, Iowa
Every adult arrest in Dubuque County, from a Dyersville traffic stop to a downtown warrant, ends at the Dubuque County Jail on Iowa Street, run by Sheriff Joseph L. Kennedy beneath the same roof as city police headquarters. An online P2C inmate page covers that building, and questions about a particular prisoner go to 563-589-4420.
A Dubuque County teenager's case is handled by First District juvenile court staff on West 6th Street (563-589-7831), and because Iowa keeps those records sealed, parents get answers from that office or the officer who made the arrest.
