The Kootenai County Jail roster is published by the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office in Idaho. Its official Current Inmate List With Pending Bonds is a PDF report containing names, incarceration dates, arrest information, alleged offenses, related case numbers and available bond details.
The jail is located at 5500 N. Government Way, Coeur d’Alene, ID 83814. Call 208-446-1400 to confirm current custody, bond eligibility or inmate services.
Official Kootenai County Jail Roster & Current Inmates
The Sheriff’s Office provides four important reports on its In-Custody Report page: the current inmate list, wanted felony report, wanted misdemeanor report and daily press log.
How current is the official roster?
The PDF displays a “Current as of” date and time. For example, the report reviewed during this article’s preparation displayed October 10, 2026, at 11:00:54 PM. That is the timestamp of the reviewed report, not a guarantee that the same data will remain current.
Always open the latest PDF from the Sheriff’s Office rather than relying on an older saved copy or screenshot.
Does the roster have a name-search form?
No. The official roster is a PDF report rather than a conventional database search form. Use the search function in your PDF viewer.
Does the report include bond amounts?
Yes. The report includes a Remaining Bond Due field when applicable. The amount must be confirmed with the jail before payment.
Are warrant reports the same as the inmate roster?
No. A person named in a wanted report is not necessarily in jail custody. A person on the custody roster is not necessarily wanted on a separate warrant.
How to Search the Kootenai County Jail Roster by Name
Because the county uses a PDF report, the most reliable search method is to open the document and search for the inmate’s surname.
Click the link labeled “Current Inmate List (PDF).” Avoid confusing it with the wanted felony or misdemeanor reports.
Look near the beginning of the document for “Current as of” followed by the date and time.
Press Ctrl+F on Windows or Command+F on Mac. Enter the inmate’s last name.
Use the PDF viewer’s magnifying-glass or Find function. If the document opens in a browser, you may need to download it into a PDF reader.
Names are displayed in surname-first format. Compare the full name and other available details.
Check the incarceration date, arrest type, arresting agency, offense description, related case number and remaining bond due.
Call 208-446-1400 before relying on custody or bond details.
Can I search by first name?
Yes. The PDF’s Find function can locate matching text. Searching by surname is usually more useful, but first names can help narrow multiple matches.
Can I search by a partial name?
Yes, if the PDF viewer supports text search. Try part of the surname, then verify the full record.
Can I search by case number?
You can search for a case number appearing in the PDF. The same number may also help locate the related court record.
What if the PDF is slow to open?
The official report can be lengthy. Allow the document to finish loading, use a PDF reader if necessary, or open the report on a computer. If the county’s direct PDF address changes, return to the Sheriff’s In-Custody Report page.
Kootenai County Jail Booking Records & Recent Arrests
The current inmate report provides booking-related information for listed people in custody. It is not a complete historical record of every person arrested or released in Kootenai County.
How to check a recent booking
What is the difference between arrest date and incarceration date?
The arrest date identifies the recorded arrest event. The incarceration date indicates when the person entered the custody reflected by the jail report. These dates may differ because of transfers, court proceedings or other processing.
Does the roster include the arresting agency?
Yes. The report can identify agencies such as the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office, Coeur d’Alene Police Department, Idaho State Police, courts or other agencies.
Does the Daily Press Log show all current inmates?
No. The Daily Press Log is a separate law-enforcement report. Use the Current Inmate List for custody information.
How can I request older booking records?
Contact the Sheriff’s Office and ask about public-records requests for historical booking or arrest information. Provide the person’s name, approximate date and relevant case or incident number.
Understanding Kootenai County Jail Roster Fields
The county’s current inmate PDF includes more detail than a simple name list. The following field descriptions help you interpret the report correctly.
| Official roster field | Meaning | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Inmate Name | Person’s recorded name, usually surname first | Full name and identity |
| Incarceration Date | Date and time associated with entry into custody | Not necessarily arrest date |
| Scheduled Release Date | Release-related date when recorded | Not a guaranteed release |
| Arrest Type | Category such as custody, warrant or court arrest | Reason for custody |
| Arresting Agency | Agency associated with the arrest | May differ from jail operator |
| Arrest Location | Recorded location connected to the arrest | Not necessarily the inmate’s residence |
| Arresting Officer | Officer or identifier associated with the arrest | Not the assigned prosecutor |
| Arrest Date | Recorded date and time of the arrest | May precede incarceration |
| Offense Description | Listed charge or detention-related offense | Not proof of conviction |
| Related Case | Case or incident reference | May help with court lookup |
| Remaining Bond Due | Bond-related amount when shown | Must be confirmed before payment |
What does $0.00 bond mean?
The county’s report cautions that zero or blank bond amounts may mean an inmate is sentenced or is not bondable on that offense. A zero amount does not automatically mean the person can be released without payment.
What does Hold for Other Agency mean?
It indicates custody associated with another authority. Release may depend on that agency’s requirements even if local charges have been resolved.
What does Warrant Arrest mean?
It identifies an arrest associated with a warrant. The related court or issuing authority should be checked for the warrant’s status and case information.
Can the scheduled release date change?
Yes. New court orders, additional holds, administrative processing and transfers can change release timing.
Kootenai County Jail Mugshots & Booking Photographs
The official Current Inmate List is primarily a text-based PDF containing custody, arrest and bond information. It should not be treated as a dedicated public mugshot gallery.
How to request a booking photograph
Are all jail mugshots available online?
No. A current official mugshot search gallery was not confirmed through the Sheriff’s published custody report.
Can third-party mugshot websites be outdated?
Yes. They may display records after release or fail to reflect dismissed charges and other case developments.
Does a mugshot prove guilt?
No. A booking photograph documents an aspect of the booking process, not a court conviction.
