Indiana Multi-County Jail Portal

Indiana's INjail portal at public.indianajail.gov connects active inmate rosters from multiple county jails. Search by name for free, no account needed. Hendricks County participates in this system, so Plainfield bookings typically appear there within a few hours of intake.

Results show booking date, charges, and facility. If the search returns nothing, the person may have already bonded out or processing may still be underway. The county-specific inmate lookup or a direct call to the jail will give the most current status.

Checking INjail first is a quick way to see if someone is in custody before calling the jail directly. It covers many Indiana counties and can save time when you are not sure where someone is being held.

Court Records in MyCase

After charges are filed following a Plainfield arrest, those cases open in Hendricks Circuit Court or Hendricks Superior Court. All those filings are searchable for free at public.courts.in.gov/mycase.

Search by name or case number. Results include charges, hearing dates, orders, and party information. No account is required. MyCase covers all Indiana trial courts statewide. Data updates as courts process new filings.

For certified copies of court records, contact the Hendricks County Clerk in Danville. Fees and processing times apply for certified documents.

What Arrest Records Show

Indiana Code IC 5-14-3-5 defines what arrest information is public. Agencies must release name, address, charges, date and time of arrest, and the arresting agency. Booking photos are public in most cases.

Arrest records do not indicate guilt. Charges may be dropped, reduced, or result in acquittal at trial. If a case ends without conviction, the person may seek expungement of the arrest record under Indiana's expungement law. Once expunged, records are removed from public view.

ISP Limited Criminal History

The Indiana State Police maintains a statewide criminal history database. Search at in.gov/ai/appfiles/isp-lch2 for $16.32 per search. Results include felony and misdemeanor arrests with dispositions from all Indiana counties, including Hendricks.

New arrests may not immediately appear in the database since courts take time to report dispositions. For a certified criminal record for legal purposes, contact the Hendricks County Clerk directly.

Police and Crash Reports

For a Plainfield police report, call PPD at 317-839-8700 during business hours or stop by the Main Street station. Staff can tell you the current fee and how to submit a formal request. A small fee typically applies for printed copies.

Crash reports filed by Indiana officers are available through BuyCrash at buycrash.com a few days after the crash. Drivers, attorneys, and insurance companies use this service to get official reports online. Non-crash incident reports must be requested directly from PPD.

APRA Public Records Requests
