Finding Someone in Custody in Indiana County
The county jail, run by the Indiana County Sheriff's Office, holds everyone kept in custody after an arrest in Indiana County, from every agency.
SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Indiana County Sheriff's Office at indianacountypa.gov/departments/sheriffs-office (page title: Sheriff's Office | Indiana County Pennsylvania), phone (724) 465.3930, 825 Philadelphia St. Indiana, PA 15701-3973, Mon-Fri 8am-4pm, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on October 3, 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 (724) 465.3930.

The FBI's agency list also places three state agencies, one state police unit, one campus police department and one other agency in Indiana County (the arrest records guide names each one).
The largest arrest counts reported to the FBI were Indiana's 383 for 2025, Blairsville's 144 for 2024 and Saltsburg's 1 for 2024.
Together, the five agencies in Indiana County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 383 arrests to the FBI that year. Those kept in custody were booked into the county jail; a person cited and released at the scene was not.
The counts, agency by agency and year by year, are in Indiana County arrest records.
From the Jail to State Prison
A sentence of more than a year is served in state prison, not the jail; the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections lists its inmates at inmatelocator.cor.pa.gov.
