Leavenworth County Jail Mugshots
Sheriff Dedeke's Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office roster displays booking photos on list entries and full inmate profiles when images are available. The inspected sample profile showed the photo above the booking fields. The roster is not a separate mugshot gallery. It is a jail custody and release tool with photos attached to records when the jail system publishes them.
The official entry point is the Leavenworth County inmate roster disclaimer, which leads to Current Inmates and 48 Hour Release. Current Inmates covers people still held at the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office Detention Center. The release list covers people released from the detention center within the last 48 hours. A photo for a released person is most likely to be visible through that short release path, unless a public-records request later produces the booking record or photo.
Use factual record terms when reading these pages. A booking photo shows that a person was processed into custody. It does not prove guilt, conviction, or case outcome. For formal charges and dispositions, use court records after jail arrest.
Find Leavenworth County Mugshots
The public route is simple: search the sheriff's roster, open the profile, and check whether a photo appears. If the person is not on the current list, use the 48 Hour Release category. If neither category shows the record, a Kansas Open Records Act request to the sheriff is the documented fallback for a booking photo or booking record that is not online.
- Open the roster disclaimer and choose Current Inmates for present custody.
- Use Search By Name on the roster search page.
- Open View Profile for the booking photo, booking number, charges, bond, and court-date fields.
- Check 48 Hour Release if the person was recently released from the detention center.
- Submit a sheriff KORA request if the photo is no longer listed and a copy is still needed.
The approved roster disclaimer capture from the sheriff's roster entry screen shows the two official roster paths.
Those two categories are the official county routes for public booking-photo lookup, not a commercial image index.
Leavenworth County Booking Profile
A Leavenworth County booking profile combines the photo with fields that help identify the record and separate custody facts from court facts. The inspected profile included name, mugshot, booking number, age, gender, race, arresting agency, booking time, charges, bond, and next court date when scheduled. Some profiles may not have every field or may show no photo.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking Photo | Public image on the list or profile when the jail roster publishes one. |
| Name | Full roster name, often all caps and with middle name or suffix. |
| Booking # | Numeric booking identifier tied to the jail intake record. |
| Age, Gender, Race | Demographic fields shown on full roster profiles. |
| Arresting Agency | Leavenworth County Sheriff, Leavenworth Police, or another agency. |
| Booking Time | Date and time the jail lists for booking. |
| Charges | Kansas statute or local code, short description, and level when supplied. |
| Bond | Bond type, amount, and authority such as Warrant, Court, or Statute. |
| Next Court Date | Appears on some profiles when a setting is scheduled. |
The profile warning is important. Charges and bail amounts may change after court appearances, so bond companies and people posting bail should contact the Detention Center for correct bail amount, charges, and case numbers.
Are Leavenworth County Mugshots Public?
Kansas official sources did not show one simple mugshot-only statute. The better framework is the Kansas Open Records Act, the roster exception language, and the sheriff's KORA process. K.S.A. 45-221 lists records that are not required to be disclosed, including criminal investigation records, but the criminal-investigation-record language excludes police blotter entries, court records, and rosters of inmates of jails or other correctional or detention facilities from that category. That supports public access to jail rosters while still allowing lawful limits.
Key Statutes:
K.S.A. 45-215 is part of the Kansas Open Records Act structure governing public agency records.
K.S.A. 45-221 lists exceptions and is central to criminal-investigation, privacy, victim, medical, juvenile, and roster-access limits.
K.S.A. 19-811 places charge and custody of the county jail and prisoners with the sheriff.
The sheriff's KORA FAQ lists common exceptions, including criminal investigation records, criminal intelligence information, victim identities in sexual offenses, medical records, and body or dash camera viewing limits. It also says Standard Arrest Reports are not subject to disclosure and that only the first page of a Standard Offense Report may be obtained from the law-enforcement agency that filed it.
Current and Release Photos
The sheriff's public roster has two documented categories, not a long-term official mugshot archive. Current Inmates shows people currently held at the detention center. 48 Hour Release shows people released from the detention center within the last 48 hours. A released person's booking photo may drop from public view when the release listing expires, even if the jail still has an internal record.
What is and is not public: The roster can show a booking photo and booking fields when available. Investigative, victim, juvenile, medical, sealed, or otherwise exempt material may be withheld or redacted.
If a photo is not shown online, that does not prove no booking occurred. It may mean the person is outside the roster window, the name is spelled differently, the record is in another custody system, or the photo is not published on that profile.
Request Leavenworth County Booking Photos
When a Leavenworth County booking photo is not on the current roster or 48 Hour Release list, use the sheriff's open records request form. Identify the person by full name, booking date or incident date if known, case number if available, and the exact item requested, such as a booking photo or booking record. The form asks for requestor name, email, delivery choice, address, and a description of the information requested.
| Request Item | Documented Sheriff Detail |
|---|---|
| Case report fee | $5.00 per case report. |
| Video/audio work | $30.00 per hour, with media estimate approval. |
| K.S.A. 45-230 acknowledgement | Required on the sheriff's form. |
| Response timing | The KORA FAQ says the office must act within three business days. |
The approved capture below shows the sheriff's KORA form from the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office open records request page.
The form is the documented path for requesting sheriff records that are not available through the public roster.
Mugshot Removal and Records
Booking-photo removal is not handled by paying a private publisher or by asking a third-party search result to change a court file. The official route is the record route: check the court case, determine whether a charge was dismissed, amended, resolved, sealed, or expunged, and work through the court or originating agency when a legal order affects public access. For Leavenworth County court status, use Kansas CaseSearch and the District Court records clerk.
Kansas KORA still allows exemptions and redactions. A sealed or expunged court matter may affect what is publicly available, but the details depend on the case and order. The sheriff's roster is also time-limited for current custody and 48-hour release display, so many older photos will not appear on the public roster even without a removal request.
State and Federal Photos
County jail mugshots are not the same as state prison, federal prison, immigration, or military custody photos. KDOC KASPER is for sentenced Kansas residents and is updated each working day excluding weekends. The KASPER disclaimer says digital image dates may reflect database recording dates rather than exact photo dates. Lansing Correctional Facility residents are searched there, not on the county roster after transfer.
The BOP inmate locator and ICE ODLS generally do not publish county-style arrest mugshot galleries. FCI Leavenworth and Midwest Regional Reception Center are separate federal or immigration custody paths. For jail booking and release notification, VINELink is available, and the sheriff says Leavenworth County jail data is sent to VINE. Kansas courts do not participate in VINE court-date or outcome notifications.
The Leavenworth County KS Sheriff app is documented for alerts, registered offenders, press releases, and contact messages through the sheriff's app listings. Official store text did not confirm an app-only mugshot lookup or roster, so the roster website remains the documented official photo path.
