Use the office that matches the question:
- For an arrest report, booking entry, or booking photograph, review the official lookup and Chapter 22 request paths, then ask which agency holds the exact record.
- For someone arrested today, use the Daily Arrest Report route and confirm the receiving jail with the sheriff.
- For several days of reported activity, consult the Weekly Arrest Log route, then verify any newspaper item through an official source.
- For release or transfer notices, use the VINELink Inmate Check. A missing result does not prove that no arrest occurred.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Iowa Department of Corrections offender search.
- For federal custody, use the BOP locator; for immigration custody, use the ICE detainee locator.
