Finding Someone in Custody in Kane County
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Kane County is held at the county jail, run by the Kane County Sheriff's Office, whichever agency made the arrest.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Kane County Sheriff's Office at kane.utah.gov/301/Inmate-Information (page title: Inmate Information | Kane County, UT), phone 800-943-2189, 971 E Kaneplex Drive Kanab, UT 84741, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on October 4, 2026.
That page is the place to look for someone booked recently. A person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.
