Find the Right Public Office
For a Montgomery County jail booking, current custody inquiry, or county booking-record request, begin with the official Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office. Its published contact details are:
Montgomery County Sheriff’s OfficeLaw Enforcement Center
106 W Coolbaugh St
Red Oak, IA 51566
Phone: 712-623-5107
Office hours: Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Emergency: 911
Crime Stoppers: 888-434-2712
The sheriff is the first route for county jail records. If a city police department made the arrest, that department may hold the arrest or incident report while the sheriff holds the booking sheet. The county public-information page says to contact the department that possesses the record. If the correct custodian is unclear, the Auditor’s Office can be reached at 712-623-5127.
- For a booking record or disclosable photo, use the county arrest-record request path and ask the Sheriff’s Office for the specific item.
- For a new booking, check Arrested Today; for a wider local window, review Arrest Reports. Neither replaces official confirmation.
- For release or transfer alerts about one person in Iowa custody, use the VINE Arrest Check.
- For a person serving an Iowa state sentence, use the Iowa Department of Corrections offender search or its open-records request route.
- For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator. Immigration detention is handled through the ICE detainee locator.
- For a Red Oak Police report, call 712-623-6500. Villisca City Hall can be reached at 712-826-2282; for Stanton, ask the Sheriff’s Office which agency is the record custodian.
- The county anonymous-tip form and 911 are not records-request channels. Use 911 only for an emergency.
