The Johnson County Jail roster helps users find people held in county custody, check booking and release information, and locate official detention services. This guide covers Johnson County, Kansas, including Central Booking in Olathe and the New Century Adult Detention Center.
The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office provides an official Inmate Search for current custody and previous booking history, plus a separate Booking and Release Report. Both are more reliable starting points than third-party inmate directories.

How to Search the Johnson County Jail Roster by Name
The Sheriff’s inmate search provides two distinct lookup methods: current custody and previous booking history. Follow the steps below to avoid confusing a historical arrest with current incarceration.
Visit the Johnson County Sheriff’s Inmate Search.
The county directs users to enter an inmate’s first and last name.
Use the person’s first and last name as accurately as possible.
For someone believed to be in jail now, perform the ordinary current-custody search. For previous arrests, select Show Previous Booking History.
Wait for the Sheriff’s embedded inmate search to display matching records.
Compare the full name and any available booking, charge, case or custody details.
If the entry is historical, do not assume the person remains incarcerated.
Contact Central Booking at 913-715-5100 or New Century at 913-715-5900 when current custody or release status is critical.
Can I search Johnson County inmates by last name only?
The Sheriff’s published instructions specify entering both first and last name. If you only know the surname, try to obtain the legal first name before searching.
Can I search by booking number?
The Sheriff’s public instructions specifically describe a first-and-last-name search.
