Campton Hills, Illinois, in Kane County, has about 11,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and its arrests are reported to the FBI by an agency of its own. An arrest in the city leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the State's Attorney files charges, a case in the Circuit Court of Kane County. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts the agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Campton Hills
The FBI lists Campton Hills with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Campton Hills Police Department. It reported 26 arrests for 2025. A city is listed separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
Outside the city, the Kane County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 940 arrests for 2025.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Kane County: Aurora University, Waubonsee Community College and Elgin Community College (campus police); Kane County Forest Preserve and the Fox Valley Park District (other).
How Many Arrests Campton Hills Reports
The FBI publishes every agency's monthly arrest counts on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Campton Hills: 26 for 2025, 11 for 2024, 13 for 2023, 1 for 2022, 0 for 2020 and 0 for 2019; 2021 is missing months.
Through July 2026, Campton Hills reported 34 arrests, against 12 in the same months of 2025.
Across Kane County, the 19 agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 9,151 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Campton Hills Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Campton Hills and kept in custody ends up, whichever agency made the arrest, though a city department may hold someone in its own cells first and a person cited and released at the scene is never booked. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and once the person is released or sentenced the record continues in the court file.
On an average day in 2023 the jail held about 340 people, down from about 510 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023 was 640 beds, and it ran at 53 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Kane County Sheriff's Office at kanesheriff.com/Pages/Detainee-Search.aspx (page title: Detainee Search), phone 630-232-6840, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on October 4, 2026.
That page is the place to look for someone who was booked recently; a person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.
A person sentenced to prison serves the sentence in a facility of the Illinois Department of Corrections, whose inmate locator is at idoc.illinois.gov/offender/inmatesearch.html.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in Campton Hills
Whether someone was arrested in Campton Hills, and what came of it, shows up in three places: the custody page of the Kane County Sheriff's Office described above, for anyone booked into the county jail; the case index of the Circuit Court of Kane County, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at cic.countyofkane.org/pages/online-court-records.aspx); the State's Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at sao.kanecountyil.gov, phone (630) 232-3500).
Illinois is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: conviction information is public under the Uniform Conviction Information Act, through the Illinois State Police. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Campton Hills
An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. Under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act the agency must answer within 5 business days, with one 5-day extension, and it may charge copying only after the first 50 pages.
