For police reports and other GPD records, contact the Records Division at 186 W Main St. Requests can be submitted in writing by mail or in person. Include the date, location, and case number when available.

Johnson County Jail Inmate Roster

All Greenwood arrests go to the Johnson County Jail at 501 County Road 200 S, Franklin, IN 46131. The jail is run by the Johnson County Sheriff's Office. It holds people from all cities in Johnson County, including Greenwood, Franklin, and Bargersville.

Check the live inmate roster at jocomosheriff.org/roster.php. The roster shows current inmates, booking dates, charges, and bond status. It is updated throughout the day as new arrivals are processed.

You can also search through the statewide INjail portal at public.indianajail.gov. Johnson County participates in the INjail network, so name searches on that portal will also return Johnson County results.

Indiana Courts MyCase

Criminal charges from Greenwood arrests go into the Johnson Circuit or Superior Court. All Indiana court cases are searchable for free at public.courts.in.gov/mycase.

Search by name or case number. MyCase shows charges filed, hearing dates, judge assignments, and case outcomes. Most new filings appear within one to two business days of first court appearance.

Johnson County courts handle cases from both Greenwood and Franklin. If you get many results on a common name, add the county filter to narrow to Johnson County cases specifically.

What Arrest Records Include

Indiana law at IC 5-14-3-5 makes arrest records public. Law enforcement must disclose the name of the person arrested, the offense charged, the date and location of arrest, and the arresting officer's name. This information cannot be withheld from members of the public.

Booking photos and bond amounts usually appear on the jail roster within hours of arrest. If you check and the record is not yet complete, try again that evening. Most records are fully posted by end of day.

An arrest is not a conviction. Charges may be dropped or reduced. Use MyCase to see how a case was resolved in court.

ISP Limited Criminal History

Indiana's free public criminal history search is at in.gov/ai/appfiles/isp-lch2. The ISP Limited Criminal History (LCH) database covers all Indiana counties including Johnson. It shows arrests and dispositions reported by courts statewide.

Use it to research prior criminal history. It is not a real-time tool. New arrests may not appear for days or weeks after they occur. For current booking status, the Johnson County jail roster is faster and more accurate.

The LCH portal shown above is free and covers the full state. It is best used to check someone's history, not to monitor fresh arrests.

VINE Custody Notifications

VINE sends you alerts when an inmate is released, transferred, or escapes. It is free. Register at vinelink.com or call 1-866-959-VINE anytime. The service covers Johnson County Jail and all Indiana DOC facilities.

Pick the person you want to track and enter your contact details. The system sends alerts by phone, text, or email. Anyone can sign up. The service is available around the clock.

Accident Reports in Greenwood

Traffic crash reports for accidents in Greenwood are available through BuyCrash.com for $12. Reports are usually ready within a few business days. You need the crash date, location, and at least one driver's name to find the right report.

Alternatively, request the report from GPD's Records Division in writing. Walk-in requests are accepted at 186 W Main St during business hours. Include the case number if you have it.

Public Records Under APRA

The Indiana Access to Public Records Act at IC 5-14-3-3 applies to all Greenwood PD and Johnson County Sheriff records. Submit a written request. Agencies must respond within seven days. If a request is denied, the agency must cite the exact exemption.

You can appeal any denial to the Indiana Public Access Counselor without paying a fee. Common exemptions include active investigations, juvenile records, and certain personnel documents. Everything else is generally subject to release.

IDOC Offender Locator

People convicted in Johnson County and sentenced to Indiana state prison can be found at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov. Search by name or IDOC number to see current facility and projected release date.

Those awaiting trial or serving short sentences stay at the Johnson County Jail. Use the IDOC tool for those who have been sentenced to a state facility after conviction.
