Huntingburg, Indiana, in Dubois County, has about 6,500 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 Prosecuting Attorney files charges, a case in the Dubois Circuit and Superior Courts. 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 Huntingburg
The FBI lists Huntingburg with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Huntingburg Police Department. It reported 175 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 Dubois County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 263 arrests for 2025.
How Many Arrests Huntingburg Reports

Across Dubois County, the three agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 881 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Huntingburg Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Huntingburg 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 2024 the jail held about 76 people, down from about 87 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2019, the last year with a capacity figure, was 84 beds, and it ran at 104 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Huntingburg
An arrest in Huntingburg can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: the case index of the Dubois Circuit and Superior Courts, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at in.gov/courts/local/dubois-county); the Prosecuting Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at duboiscounty.in.gov/government/county_offices/prosecuting_attorney.php, phone (812) 482-5725).

Indiana is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: the Limited Criminal History search is open to anyone online, through the Indiana 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 Huntingburg
The report of an arrest is released by the agency that made it; the jail and the court hold their own records of the same event, but not the report. Under the Indiana Access to Public Records Act the agency must answer within 24 hours for a request made in person and 7 days for one sent by mail or email, and it may charge a copy fee set by the agency, within statutory limits.
