This is a private reference site, not the Dakota County Sheriff's Office, the jail, a court, NDCS, BOP, ICE, or any other government office. This site cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, schedule visits, pull official booking records, or change a public record. For those actions, contact the agency that holds or created the record.
Where to Ask About Custody or Records
For Dakota County jail and sheriff records, start with the sheriff/corrections contact because the inspected sheriff records page lists contacts but did not provide a standalone online records-request form.

For ICE detainee information at the Dakota County facility, ICE lists 402-987-2176 as the facility information line. For Nebraska prison records after a state sentence, use NDCS at PO Box 94661, Lincoln, NE 68509-4661, phone 402-471-2654.
- For a person currently held in Dakota County Jail / Dakota County Corrections, use the jail inmate records guide and then call 402-987-2170 if the roster does not settle the issue.
- For booking-photo context, use jail roster mugshots and confirm any official photo request with the sheriff's office.
- For charges filed after booking, use court records after a jail arrest because court filings are separate from jail roster charge lines.
- For facility details, see Dakota County Jail / Dakota County Corrections.
- For a sentenced Nebraska prisoner, search the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services locator rather than the county roster.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator; USMS or immigration holds may still appear on the Dakota County roster while the person is physically housed at the jail.
