An arrest without disposition is not an indication of guilt. Scott County places this warning directly on its inmate and warrant databases. A jail charge is a starting point; use the court docket to determine whether the charge was dismissed, changed, prosecuted or resulted in conviction.
Roster update
Approximately every 10 minutes.
Public jail window
Current custody plus releases from the last 7 days.
Jail capacity
394-bed county facility.
Initial appearance
Generally within 24 hours of booking.

$15 per last name searched.
Which Scott County record answers your question?
JAIL ROSTER
Is the person in custody?
Shows current and recent custody, booking date, release, committing agency and charges.
Best first step after a recent arrest.
BOOKING REPORT
Who was booked on a specific day?
Daily booking reports list people booked into Scott County Jail by date and time.
Useful when the name is uncertain.
POLICE REPORT
What happened during the arrest?
Contact the committing law-enforcement agency identified in the jail record.
The Sheriff does not own every arrest report.
IOWA COURTS ONLINE
How did the criminal case end?
Use the statewide electronic docket for filed charges, proceedings and disposition.
Essential before describing an arrest as a conviction.
IOWA DCI
Need statewide Iowa history?
DCI provides Iowa criminal-history record checks that go beyond one Scott County agency.

Open the official Scott County inmate listing
Use the county-hosted roster rather than a private inmate website.
Open Scott County Jail search
Search by last name
Add a first name only when the surname produces too many results.
Or choose a letter A–Z
The roster can display names alphabetically by last name.
Filter by committing agency
This can separate Davenport Police, Bettendorf Police, Sheriff, Iowa State Patrol and other arrests.
Check custody status
Results can distinguish a current inmate from someone recently released.
Open the inmate profile
Record the booking date, booking number, committing agency, charges, bond and case number when displayed.
Read the release field carefully
Release from jail does not mean the criminal charge was dismissed.
Follow the case number into Iowa Courts Online
Use the court docket to verify the outcome.
Fast-changing data: Scott County states that the roster is updated approximately every ten minutes.
The public roster is not a complete list of every person physically held by the jail. Scott County specifically excludes federal prisoners and detainees from the public listing.
Use Scott County daily booking reports when you know the date
Open the inmate listing
The top of the roster displays booking reports for recent dates.
Select the arrest or booking date
Results are sorted by booking time.
Compare the committing agency
This immediately tells you which law-enforcement office likely owns the arrest report.

Save the criminal case number when displayed
Scott County inmate profiles can connect a charge to an Iowa court case such as an FECR, AGCR, SRCR or SMCR file.
Seven-day limit: the online inmate listing covers people currently in custody and people released within the previous seven days. Older arrests require police/Sheriff records, Iowa court research or a broader criminal-history check.
Understand a Scott County inmate profile before using it
| Field | What it tells you | What it does not prove | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Permanent ID | An identifier associated with the individual in the jail system. | It is not the court case number. | Use booking and case numbers for event-specific research. |
| Booking number | Identifies a specific jail intake. | It does not show final guilt. | Use it when discussing the custody event. |
| Committing agency | Shows the agency connected to the booking. | It does not mean Scott County Sheriff wrote the arrest report. | Request the report from that agency. |
| Booking date/time | When jail intake occurred. | It may differ from the time of arrest or alleged offense. | Compare with the arrest report. |
| Release date/type | Shows when and how jail custody ended. | Release does not equal dismissal. | Check Iowa Courts Online. |
| Bond | Shows a release amount/type associated with a case. | Another charge or detainer may prevent release. | Verify every open bond and detainer. |
| Detainer | Another agency or authority may be requesting continued custody. | Paying the local bond may not clear it. | Identify the issuing agency. |
| Case number | Links the charge to an Iowa court matter when available. | A case number alone does not show the result. | Search the complete docket. |

Why an older Scott County arrest can disappear from the jail search
The person was released more than seven days ago
The public inmate listing is intentionally limited to current custody and recent releases.
The arrest is still being processed
Very recent intake may not yet have synchronized with the public roster.
The person is a federal detainee
Scott County states that federal prisoners and detainees are excluded from the public roster.
The person was booked elsewhere
Search the actual county of detention.
The arresting agency was outside Scott County Sheriff
Contact the committing agency for the arrest report.
The name was entered differently
Try a legal surname, former surname, suffix or alternate spelling.
You need the court case instead of jail data
Iowa Courts Online remains the better source after jail custody ends.
The record is legally restricted
Juvenile, expunged and other confidential records may not be publicly available.
Use the jail record to find who owns the arrest report
| Agency | Phone | What to request there |
|---|---|---|

Open the Sheriff’s warrant search
Search Scott County warrants
Search any part of the first or last name
The advanced search also allows a warrant number or charge search.
Use issue-date filters when necessary
This helps isolate a specific warrant.
Check the warrant number

Review the listed charge and bond
Do not assume every warrant has the same surrender or release process.
Read the status carefully
Scott County also displays recently served or otherwise updated warrant records.
Verify validity through authorized law enforcement
The Sheriff’s site expressly states that no action should be taken solely from the online list.
Public warrant window: the Sheriff’s dataset covers possibly active warrants issued approximately 7 days to 18 months ago and disposed or served warrants within the previous 30 days. A missing online warrant does not establish that no warrant exists.
If your own name appears
The Sheriff’s warrant FAQ states that a person who has an attorney should contact that lawyer. It also directs people appearing on the list to the Clerk of Court’s office on the first floor of the Scott County Courthouse between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. to report for a warrant surrender and have the case pulled.
Never attempt to physically apprehend another person based on this database.
Know when a newly arrested person first sees a judge
Scott County states that new arrests facing Iowa state charges generally appear before a judge within 24 hours of booking.
Regular business days
Initial appearances generally begin at 8:30 a.m. at the Scott County Courthouse.
Weekends and state holidays
Initial appearances generally begin at 8:00 a.m. through a virtual court proceeding.

- State offender supervision.
- Prison location after transfer.

DCI states that most juvenile information is confidential and cannot be included in ordinary Iowa criminal-history results.
Correct a wrong Scott County or Iowa criminal record
Identify which system contains the error
Compare the jail profile, police report, court case and DCI result.
Save the incorrect data
Record booking number, report number, case number, charge and disposition.
Obtain the controlling official court document
A judgment or dismissal entry is stronger than a website screenshot.
Correct the originating agency first
Police-report errors generally start with the law-enforcement agency; court errors start with the Clerk or court.
Contact DCI when its criminal-history result is inaccurate
DCI asks the subject to provide details of the disputed information and may require fingerprints to verify identity.
Recheck every connected system
One agency’s correction may not immediately change all other databases.
Correction is different from expungement. Correct a record when it is factually inaccurate. Expungement addresses an accurate record that qualifies for statutory removal or restriction.
Check whether a Scott County arrest or case qualifies for expungement
Iowa does not provide one universal rule that erases every arrest after dismissal. Different laws apply to dismissals, acquittals, certain misdemeanors and deferred judgments.
Not-guilty verdict
Iowa Code chapter 901C contains a specific expungement path for qualifying not-guilty cases.
Dismissed criminal charge
Chapter 901C also addresses qualifying dismissed charges.
Qualifying misdemeanor
Iowa Code 901C.3 provides a separate misdemeanor-expungement process with eligibility restrictions.
Deferred judgment
Completed deferred judgments are addressed under Iowa’s deferred-judgment statutes rather than being treated like a standard conviction.
Juvenile matter
Juvenile confidentiality and sealing procedures are separate from adult chapter 901C relief.
Non-qualifying record
Some offenses and circumstances remain outside ordinary Iowa expungement statutes.
Micro-step record-relief workflow
Find every Scott County criminal case
Search Iowa Courts Online and make a list of case numbers and dispositions.
Get the final disposition
Do not evaluate eligibility from the Sheriff’s booking charge.
Determine the correct Iowa statute
Iowa Code chapter 901C separates not-guilty/dismissed cases from qualifying misdemeanor convictions.
Open current Iowa Code chapter 901C
Check connected cases and outstanding obligations
Court debt, unresolved charges or other statutory conditions can matter depending on the requested relief.
Contact the Scott County Clerk for filing procedure
Criminal Clerk: 563-326-8787.
Use the correct court form or electronic filing process
Follow the Iowa Judicial Branch requirements for the specific petition or application.
Keep the signed court order
Save a permanent copy for future record disputes.
Recheck the court, arresting agency and DCI records
Allow the agencies time to process the court’s order.
Important DCI distinction: Iowa DCI states that a completed deferred judgment can remain in the DCI record as a discharged non-conviction even when the court-level deferred judgment has been expunged. Disclosure rules can differ depending on whether the subject signs a release authorization.

Local facts that prevent bad arrest-record searches
The roster updates quickly
Scott County publishes updates roughly every ten minutes, making it useful for fresh bookings.
But it only keeps seven days of releases
Use court records, agency reports or DCI for older research.
Daily booking reports are built in
You can search by booking date rather than knowing the person’s exact name.
The arresting agency matters
Davenport and Bettendorf Police arrests can appear in the Scott County jail even though those departments control their own reports.
Warrant search has a limited time window
The public list does not represent every possible warrant ever issued.
New arrests usually see a judge quickly
State-charge initial appearances generally occur within 24 hours of booking.
Personal mail is photocopied
Since March 11, 2024, the inmate receives a copy and the original is stored with property.
Photos must come from the printer
Current jail rules do not allow personal photos to be enclosed with an ordinary letter.
The Sheriff’s $5 background check is local only
Use Iowa DCI when statewide Iowa history is actually required.
Scott County arrest-record questions answered
How do I search Scott County Iowa arrest records?
Start with the official Sheriff inmate listing for current and recently released people. Then identify the arresting agency and search Iowa Courts Online for the final criminal case.
How often is the Scott County inmate roster updated?
The Sheriff’s public roster states that it is updated approximately every ten minutes.
How far back does the jail roster go?
It covers people currently in custody and those released within the previous seven days. Federal detainees are not included.
How do I find an older Scott County arrest?
Use the arresting agency’s records, Iowa Courts Online or an Iowa DCI criminal-history record check rather than relying on the seven-day jail roster.
How do I get the final court result?
Search Iowa Courts Online using the case number or defendant name. Review every count for dismissal, plea, conviction, judgment or other disposition.
How do I request a Scott County Sheriff arrest report?
Contact Sheriff Records & Reports at 563-326-8719 when the Sheriff created the record. If another agency made the arrest, request the report there.
How do I search Scott County active warrants?
Use the official Sheriff’s warrant search and verify any result with law enforcement because the public database has a limited date window and warrant status can change.
How do I pay Scott County Jail bond?
Cash, qualifying credit or debit payment and bail-company bonds are available depending on the court order. Verify every bond and detainer before paying.
How do I visit an inmate?
The inmate must list you as an approved visitor, you must pass a background check and the appointment must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance.
Can a Scott County arrest be expunged?
Some dismissed charges, not-guilty cases and qualifying misdemeanors may be eligible under Iowa law. Use the court disposition and current Iowa Code chapter 901C before filing.
