Use the record type to route the question:
- For a booking record, booking photograph, holding location, transfer, or release, start with the Union County Sheriff's Office.
- For an Anna, Jonesboro, or Cobden incident report, contact that municipal police department.
- For a criminal case, hearing, or disposition, contact the Union County Circuit Clerk.
- For state prison or parole status, use the Illinois Department of Corrections search and records office.
- For federal prison or immigration detention, use the BOP or ICE locator.
- For a dated record not online, submit a narrow written FOIA request to the record custodian.
