Finding Someone in Custody in Converse County
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Converse County is held at the county jail, run by the Converse County Sheriff's Office, whichever agency made the arrest.
SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Converse County Sheriff's Office at conversecountywy.gov/m/directory/department?did=31 (page title: Staff Directory, Sheriff's Office), phone 307-358-4700, 1201 Mesa Dr. Suite C Douglas, WY 82633, Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 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 307-358-4700.
