Harrison County Recent Arrests

Harrison County recent arrests are processed through the Harrison County Sheriff's Office in Corydon, Indiana. The jail at 1445 Gardner Lane NW holds people booked on local charges, and the sheriff's office keeps records on every arrest under state law. This page covers how to find arrest records, who maintains them, and what state tools exist to search them from home or in person.

Harrison County Sheriff and Jail

The Harrison County Sheriff's Office is the main law enforcement agency responsible for recent arrests in unincorporated parts of the county. The jail is located at 1445 Gardner Lane NW in Corydon. You can reach the sheriff's office at 812-738-2195 during business hours. The facility books individuals on felony and misdemeanor charges, holds them pending court, and maintains records that become public under Indiana law.

Under IC 36-2-13-5, the sheriff is required to take fingerprints, photographs, and identifying data from all people taken into custody. This creates the official arrest record. That record stays on file and is accessible through several state and county systems. The Harrison County Sheriff's Office works alongside Corydon Police, Indiana State Police, and other local departments. Any arrest in Harrison County flows through this booking process regardless of which agency made the stop.

Note: Corydon is the county seat and hosts the main jail facility for Harrison County.

What Harrison County Arrest Records Include

Indiana law is specific about what information must appear in an arrest record. Under IC 5-14-3-5, every arrest record in Harrison County must show the arrested person's name, age, and address. It must also state the charge, the date and time of arrest, where the arrest took place, and the name of the officer who made it. The agency that booked the person is also listed. These details are public information in Indiana.

What you typically will not find in a public arrest record is information about juvenile cases. Those are sealed by default under Indiana law. Certain sensitive personal details, like Social Security numbers, are redacted before records are made public. But the core facts of a Harrison County arrest, including the charge and the basic identity of the person booked, are open under IC 5-14-3-3 and IC 5-14-3-4, which govern access to law enforcement records and criminal justice data in Indiana.

Note: An arrest record is not a conviction. Being booked on a charge does not mean the person was found guilty.

Indiana State Police Criminal History Search

If you need a broader look at someone's record beyond a single Harrison County arrest, the Indiana State Police runs a Limited Criminal History search at in.gov/ai/appfiles/isp-lch2/index.html.

There is a fee for certified results, but the portal lets you preview some results at no cost. This is useful when you need to check someone's full record, not just recent Harrison County arrests.

The IDOC Offender Search at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov covers people currently in Indiana Department of Correction custody or under DOC supervision. If someone arrested in Harrison County was sentenced to state prison, they will appear in this system. It is free to use and searchable by name.

Public Records Requests in Harrison County

Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, found at IC 5-14-3-3, gives residents the right to request records from government agencies including law enforcement. You can request Harrison County arrest records directly from the sheriff's office. Written requests are typically the most reliable method. The Indiana State Police also accepts formal records requests through the APRA portal at in.accessgov.com/isp-apra.

Agencies must respond within a reasonable time. Fees for copies are generally low, though certified records cost more. Some records, like those related to active investigations, may be partially withheld. If you are denied access to Harrison County arrest records, you can appeal through the Indiana Public Access Counselor's office.

Note: The public access counselor's website at in.gov has guidance on filing appeals for denied records requests.

Expungement of Harrison County Arrest Records

Indiana's expungement law, found at IC 35-38-8, allows people to have certain arrest records sealed under specific conditions. If someone was arrested in Harrison County but never prosecuted, they may be eligible to expunge the record immediately after the case is resolved. If charges were dismissed or the person was acquitted, expungement may also be possible. Some misdemeanor convictions become eligible after eight years from sentencing.

Expungement removes the arrest from public view, which means it will no longer show up in most searches. The record still exists for law enforcement purposes but is not accessible to employers or members of the public. If you think a past Harrison County arrest qualifies, consult an attorney who handles expungement in Indiana. Legal aid resources in the region may offer free help to those who qualify by income.
