Finding Someone in Custody in Republic
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Republic is held at the county jail, run by the Greene County Sheriff's Office, whichever agency made the arrest.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Greene County Sheriff's Office at greenecountymo.gov/sheriff/division/detention/jailtracker.php (page title: Inmate Booking Photos and Active Jail Population), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
Someone booked recently shows on that page; someone cited and released at the scene, or held a few hours at a city station, does not.
