Linn County Sheriff Busted Mugshots

The Linn County Sheriff's Office is at 117 S Main St., Linneus, MO 64653. Phone: (660) 895-5407. The sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer for the county and operates the Linn County Jail.

Every booking at the Linn County Jail creates a mugshot record. The staff photograph the person, log their charges, and note the bond amount. These busted mugshots are public records under Missouri law. Linn County is a small, rural county, so the jail does not hold many inmates at once. But each arrest still gets a full record. The sheriff handles most of the law enforcement work since few towns in the county have their own police force. Brookfield is the biggest city and has its own department, but bookings still go through the county.

Call the jail to ask about a current inmate. Staff can confirm custody status and charges over the phone.
