Where to Ask About an Inmate or Record

For a person currently held at Buffalo County Jail, start with the jail confirmation line because the P2C roster itself tells users to call the jail before relying on a listing. The sheriff and jail share the public-safety building at 2025 Avenue A in Kearney, and the sheriff page lists the mailing address and business hours below.

Use these routing points to avoid asking the wrong office for the wrong kind of record.

• For someone in the county jail, use the P2C roster help on jail inmate records and confirm important details at 308.233.5281.
• For booking photos, check current rows first, then use the records-request path described on jail roster mugshots if the person is no longer listed.
• For charges filed after booking, use court records after a jail arrest. Buffalo County Court handles many misdemeanor, traffic, preliminary felony, and first-appearance matters. Clerk Sharmin Gonzales can be reached through PO Box 520, Kearney, NE 68848, phone 308.236.1228, fax 308.236.1243.
• For felony and higher-level district matters, contact Buffalo County District Court. Clerk Cheryl Stabenow can be reached through PO Box 520, Kearney, NE 68848, phone 308.236.1246, email districtcourt@buffalocounty.ne.gov.
• For the local prosecutor, contact Buffalo County Attorney Shawn R. Eatherton, PO Box 67, Kearney, NE 68848, phone 308.236.1222, email attorney@buffalocounty.ne.gov, Monday-Friday, 8:00am-5:00pm.
• For a specific detention facility, use the facility page in the footer. This project lists Buffalo County Jail as the only Buffalo County detention facility.
• For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services incarceration record search, not the county jail roster.
• For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator, the U.S. Marshals Service District of Nebraska for federal pretrial questions, or the ICE Online Detainee Locator as appropriate.
