Perryville Police Department Holding and Transfer Custody Lookup

Perryville Police Department Holding / Transfer Custody Overview

The official Perryville Police Department page describes a city law-enforcement agency with 27 trained professional members serving residents and visitors. The research did not locate an official separate Perryville municipal jail page, public city jail roster, municipal bed count, booking photo gallery, or city detention schedule.

For inmate-population purposes, Perryville police custody should be treated as arrest and transfer custody. A person arrested by city police may move quickly to the Perry County Sheriff's Office Jail, appear in court, be released, or be handled through another agency depending on the matter. The city police department may hold police reports, incident records, or arrest-agency details, but the county jail is the practical custody contact after booking.

The county's Joint Justice Center release says the Perryville Police Department is included in the same roughly 60,000-square-foot public-safety building as the Sheriff's Office and Jail, courts, prosecutor, emergency management, dispatch, and coroner. That shared setting can make records look connected, but the custody records still depend on which agency created or now holds the record.

The city police page is the official source for Perryville Police Department public contact and agency context.

The city page supports the police-agency context, while county jail custody questions still route to the Perry County Sheriff's Office Jail.

Perryville Police Custody Capacity and Population

No official source reviewed published a separate Perryville Police Department jail capacity, detention-bed count, average daily population, current-inmate list, mugshot gallery, or city jail roster. The correct build treatment is short-term holding or transfer custody, not a stand-alone municipal inmate population.

The strongest local facts are civic rather than detention-population figures. Perryville is the county seat, sits near Missouri Route 51 and Interstate 55 exit 129, and had a 2020 population of 8,555 according to the city profile. Perry County's 2020 population was listed as 18,956. Those figures help identify the city setting but do not describe a separate city inmate count.

How to Look Up a Perryville Police Arrest

Because no official Perryville police jail roster was located, the lookup path depends on the status of the case. Start with the custody question first. If the person was booked into county custody, the county jail is the key contact. If the question is about filed charges, court dates, or prosecution, Case.net and the 32nd Judicial Circuit are the better tools. If the question is about a police report or city agency action, contact the Perryville Police Department.

1. For an emergency or active incident, call 911. For city contact, use Perryville City Hall's published phone number, 573-547-2594, and ask for the appropriate police-record or police-contact path.
2. For current jail custody after booking, call Perry County jail staff at 573-547-4071 or the sheriff/jail office at 573-547-4576. Ask whether the person is currently held at the Perry County Sheriff's Office Jail.
3. For filed charges, use Missouri Case.net. Perry County's court information says pending prosecutions can be tracked in the 32nd Judicial Circuit by defendant name, case number, or scheduled hearings and trials.
4. For a person sentenced to Missouri correctional supervision, use MODOC Offender Search. That system covers active state offenders, probationers, and parolees, not new city arrests waiting on county booking.
5. For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator or ICE ODLS. No federal BOP or ICE detention facility was located in Perry County.
6. For release notification, use VINELink when Missouri notification is available for the custody event.

This distinction prevents a common mistake: a Perryville police arrest is not the same thing as a city jail inmate roster. The arresting agency, county jail, prosecutor, and court can each hold different pieces of the record.

Perryville Police Department Address and Contact

The research located the City of Perryville general contact address and phone for city contact, and it located the county jail address for booked custody. Use the police path for city police records and the county jail path for custody after booking.

The Joint Justice Center context means a Perryville police arrest may be closely connected to the county jail, prosecutor, and courts. It does not create a separate public police jail roster in the sources reviewed.

Visiting Someone After a Perryville Police Arrest

No separate Perryville Police Department visitation schedule was located. If a person arrested by Perryville police is booked into the Perry County Sheriff's Office Jail, county jail visitation rules apply. The official Perry County visitation page says special visits must be cleared in advance by the Sheriff or Jail Captain and that visitors may leave cash, money orders, or cashier's checks for commissary accounts.

Do not rely on a general police contact number for visit approval once a person is in county jail custody. Call the jail before traveling.

Mail, Phone, and Money After Perryville Police Custody

No city police mail, inmate phone, video visitation, commissary, or trust-account vendor was located for a separate Perryville detention population. If the person is booked into Perry County Sheriff's Office Jail, the county jail mail and commissary rules apply instead.

The county correspondence page supplies the mailing address only for Perry County Sheriff's Office Jail custody. It should not be recast as a separate Perryville police jail address.

Booking and Transfer After a Perryville Police Arrest

A local arrest may begin with a Perryville police officer, but the long-term record path can change quickly. After arrest, a person may be searched, identified, documented by the arresting agency, transported, booked into county jail, released, or taken through court steps. The county jail may create the booking record while the police department may hold the incident or arrest report created by the officer.

Missouri's public-record rules matter at this stage. Section 610.100 addresses arrest reports and incident reports, while the broader Sunshine Law request process is in Chapter 610. Section 544.170 addresses detention timing after a warrantless arrest unless charges and a warrant support continued detention. Filed charges, amended charges, court settings, and dispositions belong in the court-record path rather than in a police holding page.

Joint Justice Center Context

The county's Joint Justice Center is the main reason Perryville police appears on an inmate-population facility map. The county release says the building brings together the Sheriff's Office and Jail, Perryville Police Department, Circuit Court Clerk, Prosecuting Attorney, Emergency Management, state and municipal courts, city and county joint 911 dispatch, and the Coroner's Office. The release also describes voter-approved Prop C.O.P.S. funding from April 2021 and a project estimate of $26.5 million.

The Joint Justice Center groundbreaking release shows how the city police department fits into the broader custody and court campus.

The shared campus helps explain why police, jail, prosecutor, and court records may all matter after a city arrest, even though the city police department is not documented as running a separate public inmate roster.

About Perryville Police Department Holding / Transfer Custody

Perryville is the county seat of Perry County and sits in southeast Missouri near Missouri Route 51 and Interstate 55 exit 129. The city profile says it is about 70 miles south of St. Louis and 30 miles north of Cape Girardeau. That local position helps explain why city police, county sheriff, courts, and prosecutor records often overlap in practical searches after an arrest.

The important records boundary is simple: Perryville Police Department is the arresting or police-record agency for city matters, while the Perry County Sheriff's Office Jail is the custody point after county booking. Missouri DOC, BOP, ICE, Case.net, and VINELink each serve separate lookup needs and should not be treated as substitutes for one another.
