Greeley County Jail Inmate Search
Greeley County Inmate Search, Mugshots and Family Guide
For a Greeley County, Kansas inmate search, phone the jail in Tribune at 620-376-4233; no inmate roster or mugshots are posted online, and the county says anyone may call that line at any hour to ask whether a person is in custody. The statewide VINELink search also shows custody status: choose Kansas, type both names, and pick the entry naming the Greeley County Sheriff. Charges filed in district court show on Kansas Case Search.
1. Where is the jail, and where else could someone be held?
- Greeley County Jail, 208 E. Harper Street, Tribune, KS 67879; 620-376-4233; fax 620-376-2418; email Sheriff@glcoks.org; mailing address P.O.

↑ Back to the question list2. How does the VINELink check work?
Enter first and last name on VINELink with Kansas chosen. A result gives status and holding agency, and a free alert by phone, text or email can be set for release or transfer. A fresh booking can lag on VINE; the dispatcher at 620-376-4233 is faster for a fresh arrest. VINE's toll-free line is 866-574-8463.
↑ Back to the question list3. Can I get a mugshot or booking photo?
Greeley publishes no mugshots. A request for a booking photo or arrest report goes to the sheriff's office at 620-376-4233 and is decided under the Kansas Open Records Act (K.S.A. 45-215); some criminal investigation records can be withheld. Photos held by immigration authorities need a request through ICE FOIA. Federal booking images are generally not released, though the U.S. Marshals sometimes put out a photo of a wanted fugitive.

The Greeley County Sheriff's Office in Tribune serves the county's warrants, and deputies can be reached at 620-376-4233. Kansas has no statewide warrant search for anyone to use, but Tribune's district court cases are on Kansas CaseSearch, where you can see whether a warrant was issued. To resolve one, plan a surrender at the Greeley County Jail, preferably with a lawyer. If it started with a missed hearing, Tribune's district court clerk at 616 2nd St. can be reached at 620-272-3652.
↑ Back to the question list5. Where does a person go after the first hearing?
The county says anyone still in custody after arraignment returns to the sheriff. Where and when a hearing happens depends on the charge and where the arrest took place, so ask the dispatcher at 620-376-4233. Release options are on our bail page, and belongings collected at booking are returned when the person leaves.
↑ Back to the question list6. Which court handles the case?

A federal magistrate rules on pretrial custody, while the U.S. Marshals Service in Wichita, 316-765-6339, arranges where a pretrial detainee is housed, often a county jail under contract. People serving a federal sentence appear on the BOP inmate locator.
↑ Back to the question list12. How does an ICE hold work?
- ICE may lodge a Form I-247A detainer with the jail after booking.
- A detainer stays in place even after bond is posted on the state case.

↑ Back to the question list14. What if a teenager was arrested?
Anyone under 18 is kept out of the adult jail.

↑ Back to the question list15. Are nights held in Tribune taken off the eventual sentence?
Yes. A judge at 616 Second St. (620-272-3652) sets a sentence start date that reflects each day the person was in custody while the case was pending, under K.S.A. 21-6615. The jail at 620-376-4233 can confirm the booking date, and days already credited on a consecutive case are not counted twice.

Yes. The defendant owes $100 to the district clerk at 616 Second St. (620-272-3652) under K.S.A. 22-4529, which a Greeley judge may excuse; Tribune defendants recover it if the case is dropped or ends in acquittal.

- Greeley County Sheriff's Office (unified county government), covering Tribune, Horace and all rural areas: 620-376-4233; the same line answers non-emergency calls for fire and ambulance. Neither town has its own police department, so the sheriff handles police matters in both.
