Official Government Sources
The Idaho Department of Correction (IDOC) website provides a Resident/Client Search with Mugshots on their website. This allows you to search for information on individuals currently under IDOC jurisdiction, including those incarcerated, on probation, or on parole. You’ll need the person’s name and ID number to conduct a search.
Many county sheriff’s offices in Idaho also provide online inmate rosters or arrest records that may include mugshots. For example:
-
The Ada County Sheriff’s Office offers an Inmate Roster where you can search by name and view mugshots of currently detained individuals.
-
Canyon County has a Jail Roster that allows searching for recent arrests and bookings.
-
Some other counties like Blaine County provide a Detention Roster with mugshots and arrest information.
Idaho State Police Records
The Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI) of the Idaho State Police maintains criminal history records, including arrest records. While they don’t provide public online access to mugshots, you can request criminal history information through their fingerprint-based or name-based background check services.
Mugshot Online Databases
There are third-party websites and databases that aggregate public records, including mugshots and arrest information from Idaho. Some popular options include:
- Idahoarrests.org – Allows searching mugshots by name, state, or city
- Mugshots.com – Compiles booking photos and arrest details
- JailBase.com – Provides recent arrest records and mugshots
Considerations
- Not all counties in Idaho offer online access to mugshots or arrest records. In those cases, you may need to contact the local law enforcement agency directly.
- Mugshot and arrest record availability can vary by jurisdiction and may be subject to restrictions.
- Arrest records are generally public in Idaho, accessing certain information may be limited, especially for ongoing investigations.
- Always verify information from third-party sites, as they may not be fully accurate or current.
When searching for mugshots or arrest records, it’s best to start with official government sources for the most reliable and current information. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, consider contacting the relevant law enforcement agency or court directly for assistance.
