The Floyd County Jail at 311 Hauss Square, New Albany, IN 47150 is the main holding facility for the county, and the sheriff's office updates the public roster to reflect current inmates, charges, and booking dates so residents can access this information without visiting the jail in person.
Floyd County Recent Arrests Quick Facts
Floyd County Sheriff Arrest Records
The Floyd County Sheriff's Office manages all bookings at the county jail and is the primary agency for Floyd County recent arrests. When someone is brought in, the sheriff's staff creates a record that includes name, booking date, charges, and arresting agency. Under IC 5-14-3-3, these records are public and must be made available to anyone who requests them.
You can reach the Floyd County Sheriff's Office at 812-948-5406. The jail and main office are both located at 311 Hauss Square, New Albany, IN 47150. The sheriff's website at floydcountysheriff.org provides online access to inmate records, current booking data, and general information about the jail operation.
Floyd County has grown steadily over the past decade, driven in large part by its location just across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky. That proximity means the county sees a higher volume of arrests tied to cross-state activity than many comparable Indiana counties. The sheriff's office handles bookings from its own patrols as well as transfers from municipal police departments within Floyd County.

New Albany Police Department Arrests
New Albany is the county seat and the largest city in Floyd County. The New Albany Police Department makes a significant share of the arrests recorded in the county each year. Their non-emergency line is 812-948-5340, and their office is located at 311 Hauss Square, New Albany, IN 47150, which they share with the county jail complex.

Arrests made by NAPD that result in charges are also searchable through the court system using MyCase.
IC 5-14-3-4 provides some narrow exceptions to disclosure, but basic arrest information, including name, charge, and date, is almost always public. The New Albany Police Department processes records requests on an individual basis. For older records not available online, you may need to submit a written request to the department's records unit.

The New Albany PD handles arrests within city limits, and those records feed into both the county jail roster and the state court system.
Note: Arrests made by the Indiana State Police within Floyd County boundaries are logged separately from municipal and sheriff arrests but appear in the same MyCase database.
Floyd County Court Records via MyCase
After a Floyd County arrest, criminal charges are filed with the Floyd Circuit Court or the Floyd Superior Courts. All three courts use the Indiana Court's online case management system, MyCase, which is free and publicly accessible at public.courts.in.gov/mycase. You can search by name, case number, or the name of an attorney to find criminal cases linked to a recent arrest.
MyCase shows case type, current status, court dates, filed documents, and in some cases the original charging document. This is the fastest way to see how an arrest in Floyd County moved through the legal system. Cases are usually searchable within a few days of the initial filing, though some case details take longer to appear online depending on the court's docketing schedule.
Indiana Code IC 5-14-3-5 sets out the rules for how agencies respond to public records requests, including the timelines they must follow. For court records, MyCase handles most public requests automatically. For records that are sealed, expunged, or otherwise restricted under IC 5-14-3-4, you would need to file a formal request and provide a legal basis for access.

Statewide Arrest Search Tools for Floyd County
Beyond local sources, several statewide databases are relevant for searching Floyd County recent arrests. The Indiana State Police Limited Criminal History portal at in.gov/ai/appfiles/isp-lch2/index.html covers arrest records from across Indiana and is one of the most thorough public-facing tools in the state. It returns results that include charge details, arrest dates, counties, and dispositions where available.
The statewide jail portal, INjail, at public.indianajail.gov pulls roster data from participating county jails. If Floyd County participates, you can search current inmates there alongside data from other counties. This is especially helpful if you are tracking someone who may have been transferred or if you need to compare records across southern Indiana.
For offenders who have moved from the county jail to a state prison, the Indiana Department of Correction offender locator at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov tracks current location, sentence details, and projected release dates. IC 36-2-13-5 establishes the sheriff's duty to maintain and share accurate records of who is held in county custody, and the IDOC tool extends that transparency to the state prison system.
VINE Victim Notification in Floyd County
The VINE system covers Floyd County inmates and lets victims, family members, and others register for automatic alerts when a person's custody status changes. You can sign up at vinelink.com or call 1-866-959-8463 at any time. Alerts go out by phone, text, or email when someone is released, transferred, escapes, or has a scheduled court appearance.
VINE is a free service. It is designed for crime victims but is open to anyone who wants to track an inmate in Floyd County. If the person you are monitoring is transferred from the Floyd County Jail to a state facility, VINE can continue tracking them through the IDOC system as well.
Floyd County Arrest Record Expungement
People who have been arrested in Floyd County but were not convicted may qualify for expungement under Indiana Code IC 35-38-8, available at iga.in.gov/laws/2024/ic/titles/35#35-38-8. Expungement can remove an arrest record from public databases, though it does not erase the record entirely from law enforcement systems. Eligibility depends on the type of charge, whether a conviction occurred, and how much time has passed.
For arrests that did result in charges but the case was dismissed or the person was found not guilty, the process is generally straightforward. For felony convictions, waiting periods and other conditions apply. An attorney familiar with Floyd County courts can help determine eligibility and file the petition with the correct court. The Floyd County public defender's office may also provide guidance for those who qualify for free legal services.
Note: Expungement removes records from public searches but law enforcement and some licensing boards may still access restricted records.
