Adair County Sheriff 72 Hour Booking

The Adair County Sheriff's Office runs the county jail in Kirksville and handles all booking operations for 72 hour booking arrests processed in the county. When a person is arrested by any law enforcement agency in Adair County, they get booked into the Adair County Jail. The jail log shows names, charges, booking dates, and bond amounts.

Adair County is a small county, so the volume of arrests is lower than what you see in places like Jackson or St. Louis County. But the same rules apply. Every arrest must be logged. Every 72 hour booking must be reported to the state. The Sheriff is the main law enforcement agency for the rural parts of the county, while the Kirksville Police Department covers the city. Both agencies send their arrest data to the Adair County Jail for processing and to the state central repository under § 43.500 RSMo.

Note: The Adair County Jail may not post an online roster, so calling the Sheriff's Office directly is often the best way to check on a recent booking.
