This is a privately operated reference site, not a Gibson County office or government service. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, obtain or certify a booking record, release a person, post bond, arrange a visit, or change an official file. Contact the government office responsible for the record or service.
Sheriff, Jail, and Records Contacts
The Gibson County Sheriff's Office and Gibson County Jail share the combined sheriff, 911, and jail building occupied since mid-May 2025. Older listings may show a former address. Confirm holiday schedules before traveling.
Gibson County Sheriff's Office and Jail
119 E. Brumfield Avenue
Princeton, IN 47670
Sheriff administration: 812-385-3496
Jail administration: 812-385-2018
Fax: 812-385-2814
Emergency: 911
Office hours: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Wednesday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Hours can change for holidays.
Call jail administration to verify present local custody. The online system is labeled Recent Booking Records and should not automatically be treated as a current-custody-only roster. A recent entry may remain after release, while a missing result can reflect intake delay, transfer, spelling, confidential treatment, or no admission to Gibson County Jail.
Requesting a Booking Record
Use the sheriff's official Forms and Permits page to reach the Request for Public Records PDF. The form permits inspection or copying and cites Indiana's Access to Public Records Act. Describe the existing record with a full name, approximate booking date, and booking number when known. Ask specifically for the booking or intake photograph when needed.
The form warns that copying charges may apply but states no exact fee. Ask for an estimate and electronic delivery before ordering. Confirm the delivery method before sending personal details. The sheriff holds jail-intake materials; city police hold their incident reports; the court holds its case file.
Choose the Correct Official Source
Different questions belong with different custodians:
- For a recent jail admission or booking-photo request, use the county booking and records hub, then contact the sheriff.
- For present custody or release alerts, call the jail or use Indiana SAVIN.
- For a possible warrant, start with Most Wanted Fugitives, check MyCase, and confirm with the sheriff or court.
- For court outcomes, use Indiana MyCase or the clerk.
- For sentenced state custody, use the Indiana Department of Correction offender search.
- For federal or adult immigration detention, use the BOP locator or ICE locator.
City Police Report Routing
A city police report remains with that agency even if the person later enters the county jail. Princeton Police is at 812-385-3437 and provides an official report-request email. Fort Branch Police is at 812-753-3097; Town Hall at 812-753-3824 is only a routing fallback, not a confirmed police records unit. Oakland City Police is at 812-749-3535 and officergaines@indiana-ocpd.com. No verified city police arrest blotter was found.
Ask where to send a reasonably particular request and whether a charge applies. Statutory response periods govern acknowledgement, not guaranteed completion. One office cannot be assumed to hold another custodian's record.
