Contacts

This is a private reference site, not a Bureau County office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a detainee, post money for release, schedule jail services, or retrieve an official booking record. Use the official offices below for those requests.

Official Places to Start

For current custody or jail-record questions, start with the Bureau County Jail or Sheriff's Office. For court charges, case numbers, and copies after charges are filed, use the Circuit Clerk. The contacts below reflect the Bureau County research sources used for this site.

  • Bureau County Jail and Sheriff's Office: 800 Ace Road, Princeton, IL 61356; phone 815-875-3344; jail email jail@bureaucounty-il.gov; sheriff email sheriff@bureaucounty-il.gov.
  • Sheriff's administrative hours: Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. These are administration hours, not a promise about jail intake or release processing.
  • Sheriff records contact: Kelly Peterson, k.peterson@bureaucounty-il.gov.
  • Bureau County Circuit Clerk: 700 South Main St., Room 100, Princeton, IL 61356; phone 815-872-2001; email dreglin@bureaucounty-il.gov.
  • Bureau County State's Attorney: 700 South Main St., Princeton, IL 61356; phone 815-879-4941. This office handles prosecutions and is not the jail booking desk.

Use these page paths for common record questions:

  • For someone who may be in the county jail, see jail inmate records and then contact the jail if the online path does not answer the question.
  • For arrest photographs or booking-photo availability, see jail roster mugshots.
  • For charges filed after an arrest, case copies, and court dates, see court records after a jail arrest.
  • For jail address, phone, and visitation context, use the Bureau County Jail page listed in the footer.
  • For a sentenced Illinois prisoner, use the Illinois Department of Corrections Individual in Custody Search rather than the county jail.
  • For federal prison or immigration detention, use the Bureau of Prisons locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator because those are not Bureau County Jail systems.
