Enter a last name in the sheriff's inmate search. A match shows the person's Criminal File Number (CFN), a six-digit number that relatives need for deposits, mail and video-visit accounts, so write it down. A person booked minutes ago, or released earlier today, may not match yet. In that case call New Century at 913-715-5900 or Central Booking at 913-715-5100.

• Central Booking Facility, 101 N. Kansas Ave., Olathe, KS 66061; 913-715-5100. Every police department in the county brings arrestees here for booking, and bonds are posted here.

An arrest just over the county line is booked by the neighboring sheriff: - Wyandotte County Detention Center, 710 N. 7th St., Kansas City, KS 66101, 913-573-2865 - Douglas County Correctional Facility, 3601 E. 25th St., Lawrence, KS 66046, 785-830-1000 - Miami County Detention Center, 209 S.

The sheriff does not publish a mugshot gallery. Reporters, employers and relatives can ask the Sheriff's Office at 913-791-5800 for a booking photo under the Kansas Open Records Act; release is at the office's discretion, and copies can carry a fee. Some city police departments release photos in news releases about major arrests. Request an ICE booking photo through ICE FOIA. Federal mugshots are not public, apart from fugitive photos the U.S. Marshals publish.

Deputies with the sheriff's office in Olathe serve warrants for the whole county, and the office keeps an online warrant search you can try first; to be certain, call 913-791-5800. Kansas has no statewide search of its own, but since Nov. 5, 2024, Olathe district court cases have been on Kansas CaseSearch, where a bench warrant would appear. Most people in Olathe and the suburbs clear one through a lawyer-arranged surrender at the Central Booking Facility, 101 N. Kansas Ave., Olathe. If a missed hearing is the problem, the district court clerk at 150 W. Santa Fe St. in Olathe can be reached at 913-715-3500.

Bond is posted at Central Booking. Cash bonds must be the exact amount or paid by card. Johnson County also offers a 10% deposit option through Court Services, personal recognizance release when the judge allows it, and surety bonds through approved bondsmen. Lenexa, Olathe and Overland Park cash bonds for city charges are accepted too. Release can take several hours after a bond is posted. Our Johnson County bail page explains each bond type and refunds.

Bring a current government photo ID, arrive 15 minutes early, and come as one adult per visit (a child under six may come along). There are lockers, a metal detector and a dress code. See our visitation page.

The inmate search and the booking record name the arresting agency. Overland Park, Olathe, Shawnee and Lenexa make most city arrests; the sheriff patrols unincorporated areas and contract cities; the Kansas Highway Patrol works the interstates. The agency that arrested the person holds the police report, so call it for questions about the arrest itself and the jail for questions about custody.
