Where To Ask
For current Elkhart County adult jail custody, start with the Elkhart County Sheriff's Office and the Indiana County Jail Public Portal. The main sheriff and jail address is 26861 County Road 26, Elkhart, IN 46517. The sheriff's office and jail phone is (574) 891-2100, and non-emergency dispatch is (574) 533-4151. Sheriff records requests may be emailed to Records@ElkhartCountySheriff.com, and the sheriff's public-record request form routes booking, arrest, custody, transfer, and bond information requests under Indiana APRA. The research file did not identify a published sheriff records-counter schedule, so call before visiting for records service.
The Elkhart County Clerk is the official court-record custodian for local court files. The clerk and courthouse contact page lists 1905 Reliance Road, Goshen, IN 46526, phone 574-538-3000, with Monday hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Tuesday through Friday hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Office of the Prosecuting Attorney for Elkhart County is at 301 S. Main St., Suite 100, Elkhart, IN 46516, phone 574-296-1888, and can explain prosecutor-facing resources, but it does not replace the court clerk for official court records.
