This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, post bond, release anyone, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the office that maintains the record.
Choose the Correct Knox Office
For the Knox County Jail and sheriff roster route, contact the Knox County Sheriff’s Office at 152 South Kellogg Street, Galesburg, Illinois 61401. The administrative number is 309-345-3733. The published non-emergency and general law-enforcement line is 309-343-9151. County material lists office hours as Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., while sheriff-site contact copy separately gives administrative hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Confirm the current hours before visiting. No separate public booking-photo records line was found.
Use the source that matches the question:
- For a booking record or possible photo, begin with the county search and records-request path, then contact KCSO or the agency that created the record.
- For someone just arrested, use the KCSO app through the official roster gateway, then call the general line if a fresh intake has not appeared.
- For release or transfer alerts, search Illinois VINELink or call 1-866-566-8439.
- For a criminal case, later filing, warrant-related docket event, or disposition, contact the Knox County Circuit Clerk or use the Ninth Judicial Circuit’s public routes.
- For a person serving an Illinois prison sentence, use the Illinois Department of Corrections Inmate Search.
- For federal prison custody, use the Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator. For immigration custody, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator.
- For a Galesburg, Abingdon, or Knoxville police report, contact that city’s records custodian because a police incident report is not the same as a jail booking record.
Ask only for public information and describe the record with a name, date range, and record type. Jail staff state that they do not discuss housing, medical care, discipline, or court dispositions with the general public.
