Cass County, Indiana, has about 38,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Cass County Sheriff's Office and one city agency. An arrest 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 Cass Circuit and Superior Courts. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts each agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies, cities and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Cass County
The Cass County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Cass County. It reported 127 arrests for 2022, its latest complete year.
One city in Cass County reports its arrests to the FBI separately:
- Logansport, 18,168 residents: 684 arrests reported for 2025.
A city on that list is reported separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
How Many Arrests Logansport 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.
- Logansport: 684 for 2025, 677 for 2024, 858 for 2023 and 749 for 2021; 2022 is missing months.
- Cass County Sheriff's Office: 127 for 2022 and 101 for 2021.
Logansport's 677 arrests in 2024 were down 21 percent from 858 in 2023.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Cass County Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Cass County 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 200 people, down from about 220 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023, the last year with a capacity figure, was 384 beds, and it ran at 54 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 Cass County
Whether someone was arrested in Cass County, and what came of it, shows up in two places: the case index of the Cass 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/cass-county); the Prosecuting Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at in.gov/counties/cass/departments/prosecutors-office, phone (574) 753-7790).
Statewide, mycase.IN.gov is the Indiana courts' free statewide case search.
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 Cass County
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.
- An arrest by the Cass County Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit, reached through the office at (574) 753-7805.
- An arrest in Logansport: the records unit of the agency that reports for that city.
- A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the Prosecuting Attorney, (574) 753-7790, handles discovery for pending cases.
