Stafford County Inmate Search
Stafford County does not publish an official online jail roster, inmate lookup, active booking report, jail capacity page, or visitation page in the official sources reviewed. Do not rely on third-party jail-roster pages as the official county source. The practical local route is Stafford County Sheriff/Communications at (620) 549-3247. For written sheriff records, use the county KORA policy and direct the request to the Sheriff Department.
The sheriff is Rob Murrow, and the office is listed at 209 North Broadway, St. John, Kansas 67576. The county page names Sheriff/Communications as the lead law-enforcement and public-safety agency for Stafford County and says it works with city police departments, Kansas Highway Patrol, KBI, Fire, and EMS. Emergency calls go to 911. Nonemergency custody and jail questions go through the sheriff number.
A Stafford County inmate search may involve several different record systems. Current county custody belongs with Sheriff/Communications. Filed charges and court dates belong with Kansas Case Search or the Clerk of the District Court. Sentenced state-prison or KDOC-supervised people are searched in KASPER. Victim custody alerts may route through VINELink. Registered sex, violent, and drug offenders are searched through KBI.
Stafford County Jail Roster Gap
The missing official roster is not a small detail. Many counties publish name, booking date, charges, bond, court date, and housing information online. Stafford County official pages did not show that tool. That means current jail information should be confirmed by phone or by written request, and any online third-party listing should be treated as unofficial until the sheriff or court confirms it.
- Call Stafford County Sheriff/Communications at (620) 549-3247 for current custody or booking questions.
- Ask whether the person is in county custody, recently released, transferred, or held for another jurisdiction.
- Search Kansas Case Search when formal charges or court dates are needed.
- Use a KORA request for releasable sheriff records or written jail policy documents.
- Use KASPER only if the person may be in KDOC custody or supervision after sentencing.
The research image from the Stafford County Sheriff/Communications page shows the official local agency source for inmate and custody questions.
Use that sheriff source first for current Stafford County custody, especially because no official county roster was located.
Stafford County Inmate Search Fields
Because Stafford County does not publish an official online jail roster, there is no county roster search form to reproduce. The table below converts the official fallback into the fields a caller or KORA requester should be ready to provide. For KORA requests, Stafford County policy asks for the requestor's name, mailing address, phone number, and a detailed record description.
| Field or Detail | Type | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Person's full name | Text | Primary identifier for custody, booking, or court-charge questions. |
| Date of birth | Date | Helps separate people with similar names. |
| Approximate arrest date | Date or date range | Helps staff locate a booking or recent release. |
| Case number or citation | Text | Connects custody questions to court charges or warrant status. |
| Requestor name and address | Text | Required for an effective written KORA request. |
| Requested record description | Long text | Identifies booking record, jail policy, release date, or other specific record. |
Stafford County Inmate Record Details
Official Stafford County sources did not provide a sample booking profile or public roster result. If information is releasable, the sheriff may be able to confirm limited data such as custody status, booking date, charge, bond, arresting agency, and court date. Release can depend on Kansas law, active investigation concerns, juvenile status, sealed court orders, and county policy.
| Field | What It May Show If Releasable |
|---|---|
| Name | Person booked or held in county custody. |
| Booking date | Date and time tied to a jail intake record. |
| Charges | Suspected or filed offenses, subject to court confirmation. |
| Bond | Release amount or conditions, if entered and public. |
| Arresting agency | Sheriff, city police, Kansas Highway Patrol, or another agency. |
| Court date | Next District Court or municipal appearance if known. |
| Release or transfer | Whether the person was released, transferred, or held for another jurisdiction. |
Stafford County Jail Contact
No official Stafford County jail capacity listing or separate facility page was located. Use the Sheriff/Communications office as the official contact for county custody, visitation questions, mail rules, attorney visits, commissary, deposits, phone access, and records requests. Do not infer a jail address, capacity, vendor, or schedule from third-party pages.

Stafford County Jail Visitation Rules
Stafford County official pages did not publish jail visitation hours, mail rules, commissary vendors, deposit methods, phone provider, video visitation, attorney visit rules, or inmate money policies. That gap should be stated plainly. Call before travel, mailing, or payment because jail rules can change and unofficial pages may be stale.
| Topic | Official Stafford Detail Located | Action |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visits | Not published in official county pages found. | Call (620) 549-3247 before traveling. |
| Video visitation | Not published. | Ask whether a video system is used. |
| Visitor ID | Not published. | Ask what identification is required. |
| Mail format | Not published. | Ask for exact name, booking number, and address format. |
| Commissary or deposits | Not published. | Ask for approved vendor and accepted payment methods. |

Note: KDOC prison family rules are not a substitute for Stafford County jail visitation or mail rules.
Stafford County Inmates and KASPER
Kansas Department of Corrections tools apply after a person enters KDOC custody or supervision. KASPER covers offenders sentenced to custody of the Secretary of Corrections since 1980 and people currently incarcerated, under post-incarceration supervision, or discharged from a sentence. It is not a Stafford County jail roster and does not show every arrest or local booking.
The research image from the KDOC homepage shows the state agency source for prison and supervision records.
Use KDOC when the person may be sentenced to state custody, not when the question is a recent Stafford County booking.
The research image from the KDOC locating a resident FAQ supports the KASPER field inventory and the limits on state offender data.
KDOC fields can include name, registration number, photo, physical description, crimes of conviction, county, case number, facility location, release date, supervision type, and disciplinary data.
KASPER Search Fields
KASPER is useful when the person has moved beyond Stafford County jail into KDOC custody or supervision. Users must accept the disclaimer. KDOC warns that offenders should not be arrested solely from site data, that KASPER is not a complete criminal history, and that data is updated each working day.
| Field Label | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Disclaimer agreement | Button or confirmation | Required before search pages. |
| Name | Text | Search by offender name where available. |
| KDOC Registration Number | Text | Useful when the exact state identifier is known. |
| Status or custody | Result field | May show incarcerated, supervised, discharged, or other status. |
| Housing location | Result field | Shows facility or supervision location when public. |
| Release date | Result field | Anticipated date that may change. |
The research image from the KASPER disclaimer page shows the official warning screen for state offender search.
The disclaimer is important because KASPER is a state supervision tool, not a local warrant, arrest, or jail database.
VINELink and KBI Channels
VINELink is a victim notification and custody-status portal where Kansas data is available. It should be used for notification needs, not as a full Stafford County booking archive. The KBI Registered Offender Search is for sex, violent, and drug offender registration, not for current jail custody. KBI criminal history checks are also separate from court records and jail records.
The research image from the KDOC contact page supports the state-level contact fallback for state prison or supervision questions.
Use KDOC contacts when the person is in state custody or supervision, and use Stafford County Sheriff/Communications for county custody questions.

VINELink can help with notification workflows, but official Stafford County booking questions still start with the sheriff.
Stafford County Booking and Charges
Booking status is not the same as a filed court charge. A person may be arrested and released before charges are filed, held on a warrant, transferred, or later charged in District Court or municipal court. For filed charges and future hearing dates, search Kansas Case Search or call the Clerk of the District Court. For St. John municipal traffic or ordinance matters, call the municipal court clerk.
For charge details after arrest, use the Stafford County arrest records and court charges page. For the full case file, disposition, and sentence, use the Stafford County criminal court records page. Keeping those sources separate helps avoid treating a booking note as a conviction.
