Disclaimer – IN-ARRESTS.ORG
IN-ARRESTS.ORG provides informational content about arrest records, booking information, and publicly available criminal justice records in Indiana. The information on IN-ARRESTS.ORG is intended for general informational purposes only and should not be considered legal advice or an official government record. An arrest does not establish guilt, and records may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate. Users should verify all information with the appropriate official Indiana agencies before making decisions based on the information provided.
Independent Ownership and Government Non-Affiliation
in-arrests.org is a privately operated informational website that publishes general information about Indiana arrest records, booking reports, jail listings, warrants, court records, and related public-record matters. The website has no official affiliation with any municipal, county, state, or federal government office, law enforcement agency, police department, sheriff’s office, detention facility, courthouse, or court clerk.
The website does not act on behalf of a government agency or represent that its pages are official government publications. References to public agencies and record systems identify external sources and do not imply sponsorship, approval, or endorsement.
NOTICE: in-arrests.org is an independent private website. It is not an official Indiana government website, and its content does not replace records maintained by authorized public agencies.
Purpose and Scope of Website Information
The website publishes general information about Indiana arrest-related records, booking reports, detention information, warrants, court proceedings, and public agencies. Pages may contain summaries, descriptions, links, and references to information published by external sources.
Website material may be incomplete, outdated, or different from the latest official record. A listing does not certify a person’s identity, criminal history, legal status, or current circumstances.
Content is supplied for general informational purposes. Visitors remain responsible for checking original records before relying on information for a significant decision.
Fair Credit Reporting Act Status
in-arrests.org is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. The website does not provide consumer reports for employment, housing, credit, insurance, or other eligibility decisions governed by that statute.
The website does not claim to perform the identity verification, permissible-purpose review, dispute handling, or other compliance functions required of consumer reporting agencies. Its content is not a substitute for a report obtained from a legally qualified provider for an authorized purpose.

Prohibited Activities and Legal Restrictions
Visitors must not use information from in-arrests.org to evaluate job applicants, employees, tenants, borrowers, insurance applicants, caregivers, babysitters, housekeepers, or other domestic workers.

An arrest does not establish guilt, and a criminal charge does not establish a conviction. A case may be dismissed, amended, resolved, or otherwise changed after an initial record appears.
Public Records and Data Update Delays
Indiana public records may be maintained by county clerks, courts, sheriff’s offices, police departments, detention facilities, state agencies, and other public bodies. Each source may follow different publication schedules, record-retention practices, and correction procedures.
in-arrests.org may rely on publicly available information, external databases, third-party sources, and published agency material. The website does not control the timing or accuracy of updates made by outside sources.
Record Sources and Potential Differences
| Record source | Possible limitation |
|---|---|
| Electronic court docket | Entries may appear after internal processing |
| Physical courthouse file | Documents may not immediately appear in an online index |
| Jail roster | Booking, transfer, and release updates may be delayed |
| Law enforcement publication | Publication schedules may vary by agency |
| Third-party database | Information may contain omissions or older entries |
| Aggregated search listing | Names, dates, and statuses may differ across sources |
A delay may occur between an event, creation of a record, publication by an agency, and appearance on an independent website. Electronic feeds may omit records, repeat entries, or retain information that has since changed.
Visitors must verify current information with the responsible public agency before relying on it.
Official Record Verification
Visitors who need dependable information should obtain the current record directly from the responsible Indiana public office. Website listings are informational references and are not certified records.
Use these steps when checking a record:
- Identify the jurisdiction: Determine the Indiana county, court, police department, or sheriff’s office associated with the record.
- Locate the responsible agency: Use its official website or published contact information.
- Compare identifying details: Review the person’s name, case number, booking number, relevant dates, and other lawful identifiers.
- Review the original record: Obtain the official docket, case disposition, release information, or court order when required.
- Confirm current status: Contact the record custodian if information appears incomplete, inconsistent, or outdated.
- Retain appropriate documentation: Keep official confirmation when required for a formal process.
Some records require a written request, a fee, identity verification, or an in-person visit. Certain information may be confidential, sealed, expunged, or restricted by law.

Applicable federal law and Indiana law may govern matters relating to website use, subject to mandatory legal protections and applicable conflict-of-law rules. If a court with proper authority finds a provision unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
Visitors should review this disclaimer periodically for revisions. Nothing in these terms overrides a statute, court order, or legal requirement that applies to the website or its visitors.
