Iroquois County Busted Mugshots is a private reference service, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, confirm a release, release anyone, post bond, or pull an official booking record. Contact the government office that created or holds the record for an authoritative answer.
Where County Records Are Held
The right contact depends on the question. The jail can address current custody, the sheriff can route county law-enforcement questions, the FOIA officer processes county records requests, and the Circuit Clerk handles court-file questions. A phone call may provide routing, but a written request is the better path when a copy of an existing record or a photograph is needed.
County FOIA Officer
Amanda Longfellow, Executive Assistant
1001 East Grant Street
Watseka, IL 60970
Phone: 815-432-6955
Fax: 815-432-5462
Iroquois County Jail
550 South 10th Street
Watseka, IL 60970
Jail information: 815-432-6970
Use this line for a current-custody question. The county pages reviewed did not show a public current-custody roster or booking-photo portal.
Dispatch and Non-Emergency
Iroquois County 911 / dispatch
Call 815-432-4918
The county says texting 911 does not work. Dispatch can route a non-emergency question to the correct agency.
Circuit Clerk
Court records: 815-432-6950
Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
Use the clerk for case numbers, hearings, and dispositions. The county also links to Iroquois Circuit Court on Judici.
Choose the Right Record Path
Start with the record owner, then ask for the narrow record needed. Illinois arrest information can include a photograph when and if available, but the law does not require a public web roster or a photo for every arrest. The county search and records page explains the fallback when no online booking view is available.
- For a county booking record or a booking photo, send the request to Amanda Longfellow through the county FOIA form or email. Say which person or date range is involved and ask for the photograph only when and if available.
- For a current custody question, call the Iroquois County Jail at 815-432-6970. For non-emergency agency routing, use county dispatch at 815-432-4918.
- For a Watseka police report, use the Watseka forms page; a city report and a county-jail intake are separate records.
- For Gilman city-held records, use the City Clerk at City Hall, 215 North Central Street, Gilman, IL 60938, or the Gilman FOIA form. The city's published contact is clerk@cityofgilman.com, and its listed weekday hours are 8:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m.
- For a Clifton police or village record, start with Lesa Wilken, Clerk/FOIA and OMA Officer, or the village office at 350 East Fourth Avenue, P.O. Box 472, Clifton, IL 60927, 815-694-2273.
- For a state-sentenced individual, use the Illinois Department of Corrections Individual in Custody Search. For federal or immigration detention, use the BOP locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator.
- For custody notifications, check Illinois VINE. For a warrant or wanted-person question, use the Most Wanted page for the safe confirmation path, not an old article or a third-party list.
