St. Francois County Jail Roster
The St. Francois County Sheriff's Department uses MobilePatrol to provide information about inmates and bookings. The official county page links users to the app stores and describes MobilePatrol as a public-safety app with inmate, booking, news, and critical-alert information for selected places. The county pages reviewed did not expose a separate text-based jail roster, so the app is the online inmate lookup route documented by official local sources.
Local custody records should be kept separate from court records. A jail booking entry documents custody after arrest. A court charge record documents counts filed by the prosecutor. A person may appear first in MobilePatrol, later in Case.net after a case is filed, and later still in Missouri Department of Corrections records if sentenced to prison, probation, or parole. For filed counts after an arrest, use the St. Francois County arrest records and charges pathway.
Use MobilePatrol for St. Francois County Inmates
The Sheriff publishes MobilePatrol app information for St. Francois County inmates and bookings. Because this is an app route, the exact roster filters can differ by device and app version. The county confirms the channel, but does not publish every search field in text on the county website.
- Open the MobilePatrol app from the store link published on the Sheriff's county page.
- Select the St. Francois County Sheriff's Department or county location inside the app.
- Use the inmate or booking area to search by name or browse the booking list when available.
- Open the profile or booking result and compare the name, booking date, charge text, bond, and release status.
- Call the jail if the app result is unclear, missing, stale, or needed for travel, bond, mail, or visit planning.
The county MobilePatrol page is the official lead-in for St. Francois County inmate and booking app access.
App data should be treated as a current public-safety aid, not as a certified jail record. If an employer, attorney, family member, or bond contact needs a formal custody confirmation, call the jail or make a records request to the Sheriff's Department. The app may update on a different schedule than the booking desk, court docket, or release paperwork.
St. Francois County Inmate Search Fields
The official inventory supports a cautious field table. MobilePatrol requires a location or agency selection, and name search is the natural way to narrow inmate results if the app exposes that filter. For people not in county jail, the Missouri DOC search uses DOC ID, last name, and first name for state-supervised offenders. The MSHP registry has its own fields for sex-offender searches and should not be treated as a jail roster.
| Channel | Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MobilePatrol | Location or agency | App selection | Yes | Select St. Francois County Sheriff's Department or county location. |
| MobilePatrol | Name | Text | Likely optional | Use inmate name to narrow results if roster search is available. |
| MobilePatrol | Booking list | List or filter | Unspecified | County says the app provides inmates and bookings. |
| MobilePatrol | Alerts or follow location | Toggle | No | App advertises safety, news, and critical alerts for selected places. |
| Missouri DOC | DOC ID or offender number | Text | No | Best for sentenced state custody, probation, or parole records. |
| Missouri DOC | Last and first name | Text | No | Use when DOC number is unknown. |
What St. Francois County Inmate Profiles Show
The research did not open a live MobilePatrol inmate profile because the official route is app-based. Public inmate profiles should therefore be described with care. The app may show common booking fields, but unverified fields such as mugshots, medical status, pod location, full date of birth, judge, or internal alerts should not be promised. Call the jail to verify any field that affects bond, release, visits, or mail.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Inmate name | The person held or recently booked, subject to spelling and identity checks. |
| Booking date or time | When the person entered county custody, if displayed by the app. |
| Booking or roster number | A local custody identifier, if MobilePatrol exposes one. |
| Charges | Alleged charges or booking reasons, which may later differ from filed court counts. |
| Bond | Bond amount or release terms when public and entered. |
| Release status | Whether the person appears held, released, transferred, or otherwise updated. |
| Arresting agency | The agency connected to the booking, if shown. |
St. Francois County Jail Facilities
The Sheriff's official materials identify two local jail-related facilities in Farmington. The main Sheriff's Department and Jail are at Doubet Road, and the Weber Road Facility is also listed. Official county pages reviewed did not publish bed capacity, so capacity should be treated as not located in official sources rather than filled from third-party claims.
St. Francois County Sheriff's Department / Jail
1550 Doubet Road
Farmington, MO 63640
573-756-3252 or 573-431-2777

Use Sheriff's Department phone for custody questions
Capacity: not published in official county text reviewed.
The Sheriff's Department also publishes separate fax numbers for the office and jail, with the jail fax listed as 573-756-4327. Civil matters route through 573-431-2777 extension 6123, but inmate custody, mail, booking, and release questions should use the main jail phone lines. When a call involves both a court case and a booking, write down the case number and the booking name before calling so staff can direct the question to the right division.
Missouri Inmate Record Fallbacks
When a person is not listed in the St. Francois County app, the next question is custody type. The county jail covers local pretrial and short-term custody. The Missouri DOC offender search covers people supervised by the Department of Corrections, including state prison, probation, and parole records. Victim notification may route through MOVANS or VINELink when the case qualifies.
The Missouri DOC offender search is the official statewide lookup for DOC-supervised offenders.
The Missouri Department of Corrections homepage also links to offender search, facility information, visiting resources, and family services.
Sex-offender registration is another separate record system. The Missouri State Highway Patrol sex offender registry can be searched by fields such as name and location, but it does not confirm current county jail custody.
Victim notification is another route when the goal is status awareness rather than a roster search. The prosecutor and sheriff materials point to MOVANS and VINELink for automatic victim notification. Those systems can help track custody or case changes in covered matters, but they do not replace the jail, Case.net, or DOC source for the underlying record.
St. Francois County Booking Process
Booking records are law-enforcement records under Missouri open-records rules. After an arrest, a person may be entered into county custody and later appear in MobilePatrol if the Sheriff's app publishes the booking. A court case may not yet exist at that moment. Once the prosecutor files charges, Case.net may show the court case, count details, bond, warrant entries, and hearing settings if public.
This timing gap is common. A booking can appear before a formal charge, and a court charge can change after the first booking reason. If a person is released, transferred, or sentenced, the app, Case.net, jail staff, and DOC search may update at different times. Verify urgent custody, bond, and release details by calling the jail.
A public-record request may be needed when a booking, report, or release detail is not visible in MobilePatrol. Under Missouri's Sunshine Law framework, the request should go to the agency that keeps the record. For St. Francois County jail records, that means the Sheriff's Department rather than the Circuit Clerk. Release can still be limited by active-investigation rules, redaction duties, juvenile confidentiality, or safety concerns tied to victims and witnesses.
If a person was arrested by a city police department, the first incident report may sit with that police agency, while the jail booking sits with the county and the filed charges sit with the court. That split explains why one lookup can miss a record that another office has. Use dates, names, agency names, and case numbers together when asking staff to locate the correct file.
Note: Booking records show custody events; they do not prove a conviction or final court outcome.
St. Francois County Jail Visitation
The Sheriff's online detention page publishes mail and commissary-related information, but the official text reviewed did not publish a full visitation calendar, video visitation provider, visitor ID rule, dress code, attorney visit rule, child visitor rule, remote-visit price, or holiday policy. Call 573-756-3252 or 573-431-2777 before traveling to visit an inmate.
| Topic | Official Detail Located | Practical Use |
|---|---|---|
| In-person schedule | Not located in official text reviewed | Call the jail before travel. |
| Video visitation provider | Not located in official text reviewed | Do not assume remote visits are available. |
| Visitor ID rules | Not located in official text reviewed | Ask staff what ID is required. |
| Attorney visits | Not located in official text reviewed | Attorneys should contact the jail directly. |
| Holiday or lockdown rules | Not located in official text reviewed | Confirm the same day when timing matters. |
Mail and Commissary Rules
The detention page gives concrete mail rules for St. Francois County Jail. Incoming mail must have a full return address and the complete inmate mailing address before delivery. Mail must be in postcard form only. Books must be softcover and come from a vendor, with county examples including Borders and Barnes & Noble. Personal checks and cash are not accepted by mail or drop-off.
| Item | Official Rule |
|---|---|
| Mail format | Postcard form only. |
| Return address | Full return address required before delivery. |
| Inmate address | Complete inmate mailing address required. |
| Books | Softcover only and must come from a vendor. |
| Payments by mail or drop-off | Government checks and facility checks may be mailed or dropped off; no personal checks or cash. |
Use this mail format: inmate name, St. Francois County Jail, 1550 Doubet Road, Farmington, Missouri 63640. The official page has a commissary funds section, but deposit provider, kiosk location, phone deposit option, fees, and ordering schedule were not found in official text. Call the jail before sending funds, mailing books, or arranging a visit tied to a release date. When money, mail, and visitation rules conflict with app data, jail staff are the controlling local source.
Do not send cash or a personal check by mail based on an app entry alone. Confirm the inmate is still in custody, confirm the full mailing name, and ask whether the jail has changed any postcard, book, vendor, or deposit rule. Returned mail and rejected funds can delay contact, and official rules may change before a county webpage is updated.
