No Official Fillmore County Online Roster Was Located
The practical answer to how do I find someone in the Fillmore County jail is direct sheriff confirmation. Official research did not locate a current public Fillmore County jail roster, daily booking list, or county inmate search portal. The Fillmore County Sheriff's Office page instead links users to the State of Nebraska inmate population search, which is the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services system for sentenced state prisoners. That state link is useful after a person has entered NDCS custody, but it is not a live county jail roster for new arrests, pretrial detainees, short jail commitments, or people waiting for a first appearance in Geneva.
For current local custody, call the Fillmore County Sheriff's Office at 402-759-4441. The office is at 900 G Street, Geneva, NE 68361, with a mailing address of PO Box 266, Geneva, NE 68361. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; the office is open through lunch and closed weekends and holidays. Sheriff Mark McFarland is the current sheriff named by the county, and Mel Coetzee is listed as Correction Supervisor. Because the county does not publish roster update timing, release timing, visitor entry rules, or a booking desk schedule, the phone line is the main local current-custody channel.
The official Fillmore County Sheriff's Office page shows the sheriff contact details and the state inmate-search link users may otherwise confuse with a county roster.
That screenshot matters because it documents the local office to call while also showing that the visible inmate-search pathway points away from the county jail and toward the state prison system.
How to Check Current Custody
A Fillmore County jail lookup has to follow the custody path rather than a single roster screen. Start locally when the arrest is new, then widen the search only if the person has moved into another system or the local office cannot release the information online.
- Call the Fillmore County Sheriff's Office at 402-759-4441 and ask whether the person is currently held, recently released, or transferred.
- Provide the full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, and arresting agency. Ask whether a booking number, release date, bond status, or court case number is publicly releasable.
- If the arrest is recent, search the Nebraska court calendar for Fillmore County Court or District Court appearances. A first appearance or hearing may appear there before a complete court case is easy to find.
- If the person was sentenced to state prison, search NDCS incarceration records instead of the county jail.
- Use NEVCAP for victim or offender status notifications where the involved agency supports alerts.
- Use the BOP inmate locator for federal prison custody and ICE ODLS for immigration custody.
- If none of the online tools answers the question, send a public-records request to the sheriff asking for admission, release, charge, bond, court-case, and booking-photo availability.
Roster and Locator Search Fields
Because no official Fillmore County current-custody roster was located, there are no county roster search boxes to document. The table below separates the unavailable local roster from the official state, victim-notification, federal, immigration, and court-calendar channels that can help answer related custody questions.
| Channel | Field Label | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fillmore County jail roster | Not available | Not applicable | No official county current-custody roster was located. |
| Sheriff phone or in-person request | Name, DOB, arrest date | Helpful | Use for current local jail custody, recent booking status, release, bond, and transfer questions. |
| NDCS incarceration records | Last name | Yes unless DCS ID is used | Searches sentenced Nebraska state prisoners, not new county jail bookings. |
| NDCS incarceration records | First name or DCS ID number | Optional or alternate required field | First name narrows results; DCS ID can replace a name search. |
| NEVCAP offender search | Name, offender ID, or booking ID | Depends on search path | Used for notification-related custody status where available. |
| BOP inmate locator | Last name or federal number | Required for selected path | Federal records from 1982 to present; may also use first name, middle name, race, sex, and age. |
| ICE ODLS | A-number or name with country and date of birth | Required for selected path | Use only for immigration custody. A-number searches require an 8- or 9-digit Alien Number. |
| Nebraska court calendar | Court type, county, date, or last name | Required depending on search | Free current and future court-date lookup. Last-name searches require at least two characters. |
What to Ask for in a Booking Record
No official county sample inmate profile could be inspected, so it would be inaccurate to say that a Fillmore County public profile displays mugshots, charges, bond, housing unit, or release dates online. A records request should ask for the specific jail admission or release fields needed for identification and custody confirmation.
| Requested Field | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Full name and aliases | Helps distinguish people with similar names and ties the jail record to court or state records. |
| Date and time of booking | Shows when the person entered sheriff custody after arrest or transfer. |
| Date and time of release or transfer | Confirms whether the person left local custody, moved to another agency, or entered another facility. |
| Arresting agency | Identifies whether the sheriff, a local police agency, or another authority initiated the arrest. |
| Booking or jail admission number | Gives the office a record identifier if one was assigned. |
| Charges or arrest allegations | Shows intake entries, which may differ from later prosecutor-filed charges. |
| Bond amount and bond type | Helps determine whether release is possible and whether a hold may still block release. |
| Court case number | Connects the booking to Fillmore County Court or District Court records when available. |
| Hold or detainer status | Explains why a person may remain in custody despite a local bond or release order. |
| Booking photograph availability | Nebraska law treats arrest-identification photographs as public-record information for dissemination purposes, subject to other limits. |
County Jail, State Prison, Federal, and ICE Searches
Fillmore County readers often reach the wrong database because the sheriff page links to the state inmate population search. A county jail record covers local arrest and detention. An NDCS record covers sentenced state imprisonment. A BOP record covers federal prison custody. ICE ODLS covers immigration detention. NEVCAP is a notification and offender-search channel, not a replacement for the sheriff's current-custody answer.
Custody comparison: Call the sheriff for a person recently arrested in Fillmore County. Use NDCS only after a person is in Nebraska state prison. Use BOP for federal prisoners and ICE ODLS for immigration detainees. None of those outside systems proves that a person is or is not in the Fillmore County jail today.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Usually Shows |
|---|---|---|
| Local pretrial or short-term county jail custody | Fillmore County Sheriff's Office, 402-759-4441 | Current custody, release, bond, transfer, or booking-record availability when releasable. |
| Sentenced Nebraska state prison | NDCS incarceration records search | DCS ID, legal name, DOB, demographics, facility, sentence terms, parole dates, release data, and current status. |
| Victim/offender notifications | NEVCAP offender search | Status and notification options when agency data supports alerts. |
| Federal prison custody | Federal BOP inmate locator | Name, register number, age, race, sex, release date, and federal location. |
| Federal pretrial custody | U.S. Marshals Service District of Nebraska | USMS handles federal detention logistics but does not offer a general public locator like BOP. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | A-number or biographical search results for immigration custody. |
The NDCS incarceration records search is the state database linked by the sheriff page, but it should be read as a sentenced-prisoner locator.
The visible NDCS fields are useful when a Fillmore County case has become a state sentence, but the screen does not answer whether someone was booked locally today.
Main Fillmore County Jail Contact
Official sources support one local detention facility for this project: the Fillmore County Sheriff's Office Jail.

Booking and Intake in Fillmore County
Fillmore County does not publish a local booking handbook, so the safest description comes from local custody channels and Nebraska criminal procedure. A typical local arrest begins with a sheriff deputy or local officer taking a person into custody. Geneva's law-enforcement contract with the sheriff and Fairmont's dispatch link to the sheriff both support the same county-centered custody path. At intake, jail staff generally identify the person, check for warrants or holds, inventory property, conduct safety and medical screening, photograph and fingerprint the arrestee when required, enter charges or arrest allegations, and classify the person for custody.
The timing of public information can vary. A jail intake entry may exist before a court case is filed. A court case may appear after the Fillmore County Attorney files a complaint. The county court handles criminal cases and lists regular court days on Wednesdays, while the district court primarily handles felony criminal cases and maintains dockets and judgments. The jail charge, prosecutor-filed charge, and final court disposition may not be identical, so records should be matched by name, date, agency, and court case number when possible.
Visitation, Mail, and Commissary Rules
Published local rules for Fillmore County jail visitation, mail, commissary, money deposits, phone accounts, video visits, tablets, dress code, and visitor screening were not located. Do not apply NDCS state-prison rules to the county jail. Confirm local rules with the sheriff before visiting, mailing anything, or attempting to deposit funds.
| Topic | Local Rule Located | Action |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation schedule | Not published | Call 402-759-4441 before going to 900 G Street. |
| Visitor ID | Not published | Bring government photo ID and confirm entry rules before arrival. |
| Dress code and minors | Not published | Ask the jail whether children may visit and what clothing is allowed. |
| Video visitation | No official vendor found | Ask whether any remote visit option is available. |
| Mail address format | Not published | Confirm the inmate name, booking ID if needed, and mailing format before sending mail. |
| Commissary and money deposits | Not published | Confirm accepted methods, limits, fees, and hours directly with the jail. |
| Phone calls or tablets | No official vendor found | Ask whether accounts must be set up through a provider. |
| Attorney visits | Not published | Attorneys should contact the sheriff or jail directly. |
Public Records Request Path
Nebraska public-records law starts from openness unless another statute allows withholding. For Fillmore County jail records, the request should be narrow and factual: identify the person, date of birth if known, arrest date, booking date, arresting agency, and the records requested. Useful categories include admission record, release record, booking charge, bond information, case number, hold or detainer status, and booking photograph availability. Fillmore County has a public-records navigation page, but no sheriff-specific online records form or jail fee schedule was located in the research.
Send requests through the sheriff contact channels located in official sources: phone 402-759-4441, fax 402-759-4429, mail to PO Box 266, Geneva, NE 68361, or in person at 900 G Street during posted office hours. Ask whether copying fees apply and whether the request needs to be in writing. If the record concerns a pending investigation, protected personal information, jail security, or another statutory exception, the agency may withhold or redact parts of the response.
Confirm before acting: Custody, bond, release, visitation, and transfer status can change quickly. Verify details with the Fillmore County Sheriff's Office before driving, sending money, or relying on a record for a deadline.
