Choose the Correct Record Office
The Lyon County Sheriff's Office operates the Lyon County Detention Center and holds county booking materials. Its office is at 425 Mechanic, Emporia, KS 66801. Call 620-341-3205. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; patrol operates around the clock, and non-emergency dispatch is 620-343-4225. Use the following routes according to the record or custody stage.
- For a county booking sheet or identification photo, follow the Lyon County search and records-request steps, then submit a focused request to the sheriff.
- For a selected wanted notice or possible warrant, use the official channels explained under Most Wanted; absence from that list is not a warrant clearance.
- For current county custody or a release alert, use the sheriff booking interface and county-linked Kansas VINE service.
- For an Emporia police incident report, contact the Emporia Police Department records office at 620-343-4200.
- For a filed case or final disposition, use the Kansas District Court public-access path or contact the appropriate court clerk.
- For a person sentenced to state custody, search the Kansas Department of Corrections KASPER repository.
- For federal or qualifying immigration detention, use the Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator rather than the county jail.
