Lyon County Contacts

This private reference is not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the office that holds the record.


Official Release Record Contacts

The Lyon County Sheriff and Detention Center are the first contacts for a county booking or release transaction. Records requests may be sent to sheriff@lyoncountyks.gov. The office lists weekday hours, while detention operations continue around the clock.

Choose the route that matches the custody system. A county release, a state corrections event, and a federal transfer do not share one record office.

  • For a named released person or release record, start with the home search and records path.
  • For supervision, consult the parole and probation reference.
  • For a same-day window, use the 24-hour release process, which explains Lyon County's lack of a public feed.
  • For a state sentence, search KASPER or call KDOC sentence computation at 785-296-3317.
  • For custody alerts, use Kansas VINE online or call 866-574-8463.
  • For a federal sentence or immigration transfer, use the official BOP or ICE locator tied to that authority.
