Find Kokomo Mugshots, Recent Arrests and Howard County Jail Records
For Kokomo mugshots and current jail bookings, start with the Howard County Sheriff’s Office. Kokomo Police arrests are commonly booked into the Howard County jail system, where the public inmate search can show booking photographs, inmate identifiers, booking dates, arresting agencies, charges and bond information.

If you need the police report rather than the jail record, use the Kokomo Police Department’s public-information request system. For the criminal case after booking, use Indiana MyCase and the Howard County Clerk.
Start with the correct agency
Where Kokomo Arrest and Booking Records Come From
Kokomo is the county seat of Howard County. Although the Kokomo Police Department may make an arrest, the Howard County Sheriff’s Office operates the county jail and maintains the public current-inmate search.
The Sheriff’s current roster includes an “Arresting Agency” field, and current records can identify agencies such as the Kokomo Police Department, Howard County Sheriff’s Department or the jail itself. That makes the county jail search the strongest starting point for custody and booking information after a Kokomo arrest.

How to Search for a Kokomo Jail Inmate
The Howard County Sheriff’s current-inmate page provides a public text search and individual inmate entries. Current public records can include a booking photograph, inmate ID, age, sex, booking date, arresting agency, listed charges and bond information.
Open the Howard County current-inmate roster
Start with the Sheriff’s official site rather than a commercial mugshot or background-check database.
Search the person’s name
Use the public search field to narrow the inmate list. Check spelling carefully, especially when multiple people have similar names.
Open or review the matching inmate entry
Compare age, inmate ID, booking date and arresting agency before assuming that the record belongs to the person you are researching.
Review the charges and bond information
Treat these fields as jail-stage information. Charges, bond and court status can change after booking.
Move to MyCase for later proceedings
If you need a filed case, hearing or disposition, use the court system instead of relying only on the original booking information.
Booking photographs
Where to Find Kokomo Mugshots
The Howard County Sheriff’s current-inmate roster displays photographs for many inmate entries. Indiana law also assigns sheriffs responsibility for taking photographs, fingerprints and other identifying data from people taken into custody for qualifying offenses.
Photo availability can vary by record. A missing public image should not automatically be interpreted as proof that no arrest or booking occurred.
Understand the roster
What the Howard County Inmate Record Can Show
| Field | What it helps explain | Important limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Booking photo | Image associated with jail intake when displayed. | It does not prove guilt. |
| Inmate ID | Helps identify the jail record. | It is not necessarily the same as a court case number. |
| Booking date | Shows when the person entered the jail system. | It is not a conviction date. |
| Arresting agency | Identifies which agency is associated with the arrest. | The booking jail and arresting agency can be different. |
| Charge | Shows the allegation listed in the detention record. | Charges can later change in court. |
| Bond information | Shows available bond data associated with the record. | Bond terms can change after court action. |

How to Request a Kokomo Police Arrest or Incident Record
The Kokomo Police Department uses a public-record request portal for police information. The city’s portal specifically states that it is for Kokomo Police Department records, including official police reports, calls-for-service logs, police photos, body-camera footage and similar agency records.
When submitting a request, provide as much detail as possible. The portal recommends including dates, approximate times, names, addresses or locations, and any known call-for-service or CAD numbers. Requests that are too general may be returned for more detail.
Use the Kokomo Police portal
Use this route when you need a Kokomo Police-created report or police media rather than a Howard County jail record.

Troubleshooting
Why You May Not Find Someone in the Kokomo Inmate Search
After booking
Use Indiana MyCase for Howard County Criminal Court Records
Indiana MyCase provides public access to non-confidential court cases and many public documents. Users can search by case number, citation number, party name or attorney, and can narrow searches by court, status or filing date when appropriate.
The Indiana Judicial Branch cautions that MyCase is not itself the official court record. Official court records are maintained by the court and clerk.
Open MyCase
Use Indiana’s official statewide public court-search service.
Search by party name or case number
Party search can use a last name plus additional identifying information. A known case number is generally the most precise route.
Confirm Howard County
Make sure the case belongs to the correct county and person before relying on the result.
Review the chronological case summary
Public case entries may show filings, hearings, orders, financial information and available public documents.
Contact the Howard County Clerk for the official record
If an online document is unavailable or you need an official court record, contact the clerk that maintains the case.
