This is a private reference site, not a public office. We cannot confirm custody or release, post bond, release a person, or retrieve an official booking record.


Choose the Correct Office

The LaSalle County Sheriff's Office and Jail share the Etna Road complex but keep distinct records. The Sheriff's Office is at 707 E. Etna Road, Ottawa, IL 61350. Its non-emergency line is 815-433-2161, and complex hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Call the LaSalle County Jail at 815-434-8383 for a current booking, release, bond, visit, mail, account, or jail-operation question. Sheriff Records handles incident reports at 815-434-8379 or records@lasallecountyil.gov. For a jail booking record or photo, contact jailfoia@lasallecountyil.gov or fax 815-431-4962.

Match the question to the custodian before making a request:

  • Use the county arrest hub for official booking, roster, photo, warrant, and records-request routes.
  • Use Sheriff Records for an incident or accident report, not a county jail admission file.
  • Use iSOMS for a newly published county booking, then call the jail if the portal does not answer the custody question.
  • Use Illinois VINE for supported custody alerts and the Circuit Clerk for filed charges, hearings, and case outcomes.
  • Use IDOC for a person sentenced or transferred to Illinois state custody.
  • Use the BOP or ICE locator only for the matching federal system.

The LaSalle County Circuit Clerk Traffic/Criminal Division is in Room 141 at the same address. Its phone is 815-434-8271, and its office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Clerk holds court records, not jail booking photos.
