Carroll County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody or release, post bond, arrange a visit, or pull an official booking record. For an authoritative answer, contact the agency that holds the record.


Where to Check for a Record

The Carroll County home guide explains the search path and how to make a focused records request. Use the official contacts below for a current answer, a custody question, a court disposition, or a record held by a city department.

  • County jail and sheriff records: The Carroll County Correctional Facility is at 301 N Main Street, Mt Carroll, IL 61053. Its published jail line is 815-244-0265 and its published email is carrollcountyjail@gmail.com. The Carroll County Sheriff's Office uses the same street address and lists the county public phone as 815-244-2635. The jail page publishes visitation windows, not records-office hours: Wednesday evening and Sunday afternoon/evening sessions are listed, so verify the current page before visiting.
  • FOIA and booking requests: Start with the county's Freedom of Information Act page. Kim Mobley is listed by the sheriff as Civil Process / Records at 815-244-0258 and civilprocess@carrollcountyil.gov. No separate records-desk hours were published in the material reviewed. The county material does not verify Kim as the formal FOIA officer, so use the county's current FOIA contacts document or the relevant agency's direction. Under Illinois FOIA Section 3, request the specific booking record and photograph separately, with the person's name, approximate date, arresting agency, and the non-exempt portions sought.
  • Court case and disposition: The Carroll County Circuit Clerk, Patty Hiher, lists 815-244-0230 and phiher@carrollcountyil.gov. Office hours are generally 8:30 to 4:30 Monday through Friday. The county's Judici case path can show public case and docket information, but it is not a live custody confirmation and the clerk remains the official court-record contact.
  • Illinois state custody: Use the Illinois Department of Corrections offender search for a person in IDOC custody or on parole. It does not cover every Carroll County booking, and a state offender photo is not the same record as a county booking photo.
  • Federal or immigration custody: The Bureau of Prisons locator covers federal inmates, including the separate federal custody path associated with FCI Thomson. The ICE detainee locator covers a different immigration system. Neither locator is a Carroll County jail roster.
  • Savanna and Thomson police: For a Savanna incident, contact Savanna Police Department at 333 Chicago Avenue, 815-273-2246. For a Thomson incident, use the Thomson Police Department at 2100 Market Street, with 815-259-3905 or 815-259-3906; the village also publishes an FOIA request form.
  • Mount Carroll police: The Mount Carroll Police Department is at 302 N Main, with 815-244-5313 and mcpd@mountcarrollil.gov. Use the city police route for a city incident record, and the county sheriff or jail route for county custody.
