The DeKalb County Sheriff's Office is located at 109 W Main, Maysville, MO 64469. The main phone line is 816-449-5802. Sheriff Kasey Keesaman leads the office.

DeKalb County covers 426 square miles in northwest Missouri. The county seat is Maysville and the largest city is Cameron. The 2020 census placed the county's population at 11,029. The regional jail arrangement means DeKalb County inmates are housed alongside Daviess County detainees at the Pattonsburg facility rather than in a standalone county jail. This is a unique arrangement in Missouri.

How to Search DeKalb County Inmate Population

The easiest way to search the DeKalb County inmate population is through the Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail website. The facility uses the Jail Tracker system, which lets you search by name or browse all current detainees. Each record includes identifying details, arrest information, bond amounts, booking date, release date if applicable, and mugshots when available. The roster is updated as new bookings and releases occur.

You can also search through the VINE Link system, which covers county jails and state prisons across all of Missouri. Search by full name, partial name, or inmate ID number. VINE returns custody status, charges, location, and booking details. You can also register for free alerts if you want to be notified when a specific person's status changes.

If the person you need is not in county custody, check the Missouri DOC Offender Search for state prison records. The Missouri Department of Corrections maintains a separate database for sentenced individuals held at state facilities. For federal cases, the Bureau of Prisons operates its own inmate locator at bop.gov.

Note: There can be a short delay between when someone is booked and when they appear on the online roster. Call 660-367-2200 for real-time status.

State Resources for Missouri Inmate Records

The Missouri Department of Corrections operates separately from county jails. If an individual has been sentenced to state prison, their records are in the DOC system rather than the county roster. The DOC Offender Search lets you look up inmates at any Missouri state prison. The DOC also maintains a full directory of adult institution addresses at doc.mo.gov/facilities/adult-institutions/address-listing.

VINE Link at vinelink.com covers both county and state facilities in Missouri. It is free to use and available around the clock. Victim registration is available for those who want automatic notifications when a specific inmate's custody status changes. The DeKalb County inmate population at the regional jail is tracked through this system.

For probation and parole information, visit the Missouri DOC Probation and Parole page. Individuals who have been released from custody but remain under supervision are tracked there rather than in jail rosters.

VINE Link and Victim Notification

VINE Link is Missouri's statewide inmate tracking and victim notification system. It is run by Appriss Insights and available to anyone at vinelink.com. You can search by name or ID without creating an account. For ongoing notifications, register for free alerts tied to a specific inmate. Alerts go out when the inmate is released, transferred, or has a court event. The service is available 24 hours a day and supports phone, email, and text alerts.

The Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail reports custody data to the VINE system. This means you can check on DeKalb County inmates through VINE at any time without calling the jail directly.
