Finding Someone in Custody in Grant County
The county jail, run by the Grant County Sheriff's Office, holds everyone kept in custody after an arrest in Grant County, from every agency.
SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Grant County Sheriff's Office at grantcoks.org/154/Sheriff (page title: Grant County Sheriff's Office | Grant County, KS), phone 620.356.3500, 210 E. Central Avenue Ulysses, KS 67880, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on October 4, 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 620.356.3500.
