St. Francois County MobilePatrol Search
The official current-booking path for St. Francois County inmate records is MobilePatrol. The St. Francois County Sheriff's Office does not publish a text-based county jail roster on the official pages reviewed for this build. Instead, the sheriff's own Mobile Patrol App page says the department uses MobilePatrol to provide information about inmates and bookings. That means a current custody search should begin in the app, not on a county HTML roster page.
MobilePatrol is still only one channel. The county page confirms the booking source, but it does not publish the St. Francois-specific search fields, refresh rate, release-retention period, or complete inmate profile layout in browser-readable text. If MobilePatrol does not show a person, the next step is not to assume there is no custody record. Call the jail, check whether charges were filed in court, and use Missouri or federal locators when the person may have moved out of county jail custody.
The county source for this path is the St. Francois County Mobile Patrol App page, which points residents to MobilePatrol for inmates and bookings.
That official county confirmation is why MobilePatrol is treated as the first lookup step for current St. Francois County jail bookings.
Use the St. Francois County Jail Roster
A practical St. Francois County inmate records search should follow the custody path. The St. Francois County Jail is the local facility for people arrested by county deputies, Farmington Police, Bonne Terre Police, Park Hills Police, Desloge Police, and other local agencies before release, bond, court appearance, transfer, or short sentence service. Sheriff Jeffrey S. Crites is the elected sheriff, and the command staff page lists Jail Lieutenant Hardy White at extension 6162.
- Open MobilePatrol and select or follow the St. Francois County Sheriff's Department or the local area feed.
- Look for the inmate or booking section, then search by the name information available in the app.
- If there is no result, call the jail at 573-756-3252 or 573-431-2777 and ask whether the person is in custody, released, transferred, or booked under another name.
- For documents not shown in the app, send a Sunshine Law request to the sheriff's records custodian for the arrest report, booking record, jail log fields, and disposition or release entry.
- When charges have been filed, check Missouri Case.net or contact the St. Francois County Circuit Clerk for the court case, bond order, court date, and charge status.
Names can differ from what a family member expects. An arrestee may be entered with a full legal name, an alias, a hyphenated name, or a spelling used by the arresting agency. A person can also leave the St. Francois County Jail quickly after bond, citation release, transfer to another county, a state DOC commitment, or a federal hold. The phone fallback matters because MobilePatrol is not documented as a full historical archive for St. Francois County jail inmate records.
St. Francois County Roster Fields
The exact MobilePatrol fields for St. Francois County were not visible through browser research. The county page confirms that the app provides inmates and bookings, and the Google Play listing describes public-record categories such as jail bookings, most wanted, sex offenders, warrants, alerts, and public-safety news. Because the app path could not be inspected as a county roster page, the safest field table separates verified setup items from unverified booking fields.
| Field or Path | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neighborhood or ZIP code | App setup field | Likely required | The MobilePatrol listing says users enter ZIP codes for areas where they live, work, or spend time. |
| Agency selection | App navigation | Needed for local results | Select or follow the St. Francois County Sheriff's Department when available. |
| Inmate or booking search | App search path | Not verified | County-specific labels were not inspectable in browser research. |
| Public-record category | App menu | Varies | The store listing advertises jail bookings, most wanted, sex offenders, and warrants. |
The Google Play MobilePatrol listing is useful because it confirms the broader feature set, while the county page confirms St. Francois County's local use of the app.
The app listing supports the booking-search route, but it does not replace direct jail confirmation when a St. Francois County inmate record is missing or unclear.
St. Francois County Booking Record Details
A St. Francois County booking record is created during intake after an arrest or detention event. The county does not publish a verified sample MobilePatrol inmate profile in browser-readable text, so field names must be stated with care. The records most often needed are the booking identity, arresting agency, date and time of arrest or booking, charge or hold reason, bond or release status, and whether the person remains in the jail, was released, or was transferred.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name or booking identity | The name used by the jail or arresting agency for the custody event. |
| Booking date or arrest date | The time marker for the arrest, detention, or jail intake if that field is released. |
| Charges or hold reason | The initial charge language, warrant, hold, or agency reason tied to the detention. |
| Bond or release status | Whether release terms have been set, met, changed, or not yet posted in the public record. |
| Custody status | Whether the person appears to be held, released, transferred, or outside the county jail system. |
| Booking photo | Photo display for St. Francois County MobilePatrol entries was not verified and should not be assumed. |
Initial booking charges are not the same as final court charges. A booking entry may reflect the arresting officer's charge description or warrant reason. Once prosecutors file a case, court records after a St. Francois County jail arrest become the better source for the case number, docket events, filed charges, attorneys, hearings, and disposition.
St. Francois County Jail Lookup Help
Phone and in-person lookup options are important in St. Francois County because the official booking path is app-based. The St. Francois County Jail and Sheriff's Office are at the same Doubet Road campus in Farmington. The sheriff's office lists weekday office hours, and the command staff page identifies the jail lieutenant. Use the jail phone line for current custody questions before sending money, planning a visit, or assuming an app result is complete.

Ask for a narrow status check. Useful questions include whether the person is currently held at the St. Francois County Jail, whether a bond has been set, whether a court appearance is pending, and whether the person was transferred to a state, federal, or other county facility. Jail staff may not discuss every detail by phone, but they are the direct official fallback when the MobilePatrol result is missing.
Request St. Francois County Jail Records
For older St. Francois County inmate records or public booking documents not shown in MobilePatrol, use a Missouri Sunshine Law request. RSMo 610.023 requires each public governmental body to have a records custodian and to act on a public-records request as soon as possible, no later than the end of the third business day after receipt. If records cannot be produced right away, the custodian must explain the delay and provide the earliest time and date the record will be available.
RSMo 610.100 is the law-enforcement records statute. It says arrest reports and incident reports are open records, subject to exceptions. It also defines investigative reports and explains why some investigative material can remain closed until the investigation becomes inactive. If no charge is filed within 30 days after an arrest, the arrest report becomes closed except for the disposition portion, subject to other provisions.
Request scope: A focused request can ask for the arrest report, public booking record, jail log fields, release or transfer disposition, and any releasable booking photo for a named person and arrest date.
St. Francois County Jail Visits and Mail
The official detention information page did not expose a current St. Francois County Jail visitation schedule in the text inspected. It says to use the jail for additional questions about visiting. Because no schedule was verified, the only accurate public instruction is to call the jail before traveling or trying to schedule a visit.
| Visit or Contact Topic | Verified Local Detail | Fallback |
|---|---|---|
| County jail visitation schedule | Not found in the text-accessible county page | Call 573-756-3252 or 573-431-2777 |
| Mail format | Incoming mail must be in postcard form only | Use full return address and full inmate mailing address |
| Checks and cash | Government checks and facility checks may be mailed or dropped off | No personal checks or cash |
| Books | Soft-cover books must come from a vendor | Confirm acceptance before ordering |
The St. Francois County detention information page is the source for the jail mail rules and commissary heading.
Mail should be addressed to the inmate at St. Francois County Jail, 1550 Doubet Road, Farmington, MO 63640, with both the return address and the full inmate mailing address complete.
County, DOC, BOP, and ICE Records
St. Francois County inmate records split by custody level. A person held before trial or for a short local matter belongs in the county jail workflow. A sentenced state prisoner belongs in the Missouri Department of Corrections system. A federal defendant or sentenced federal prisoner belongs in the BOP or U.S. Marshals path, and an immigration detainee belongs in ICE's locator. Missouri VINELink is a notification and custody-status fallback, not the sheriff's official roster.
| Custody Type | Where to Search | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Local pretrial or short-term jail custody | MobilePatrol, then St. Francois County Jail phone | Current local bookings and custody status when available |
| Filed charges and court dates | Missouri Case.net | Criminal case number, charges, docket, hearings, and dispositions |
| Sentenced state custody | Missouri DOC Offender Web Search | Active offenders, probationers, and parolees unless excluded |
| Federal custody | BOP Inmate Locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present, by number or name |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | ICE custody by A-number or biographical details |
| Custody notification | Missouri VINELink | Notification and status alerts where participating records are available |
Two state prisons are physically located in St. Francois County: Farmington Correctional Center in Farmington and Eastern Reception, Diagnostic and Correctional Center in Bonne Terre. Those facilities are Missouri DOC prisons, not county jail roster locations. A person housed there should be searched in DOC, even though the facility is inside St. Francois County.
Common St. Francois County Jail Terms
Custody records use short labels that can be easy to misread. A few terms are especially important in St. Francois County because the county jail, the 24th Judicial Circuit, Missouri DOC, BOP, ICE, and VINELink all answer different questions.
- Booking
- The jail intake event that creates the custody record after arrest or detention.
- Bond
- A court-set release condition. Missouri law can allow recognizance release, cash or surety bond, reporting, monitoring, or other terms.
- Detainer
- A hold or request from another agency that may affect release even when local charges change.
- Disposition
- The final or current outcome noted in a record, such as released, transferred, dismissed, convicted, or pending.
- DOC
- The Missouri Department of Corrections, which tracks sentenced state prisoners and some supervised offenders.
Note: Confirm custody with the jail before sending funds, mailing books, or making a trip for a visit.
