SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Chase County Sheriff's Office at chasecountyks.com/index.php/health-emergency-services/sheriff-911 (page title: Sheriff | 911 | Chase County Kansas), phone 620-273-6313, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on October 2, 2026.
That page is the office's jail information page rather than a roster, so a search for a particular person goes through the office at 620-273-6313.
