Where to Ask for a Gove County Inmate or Record
Gove County contracts with nearby counties for inmate housing, so the first call is usually the Gove County Sheriff's Office. Once the housing location is known, use the holding jail, court, or statewide locator that matches the record you need.

Phone: 785-938-2250

Trego County Detention Facility
525 Warren Avenue, WaKeeney, KS 67672

Use this facility contact when Gove County confirms the person is housed in WaKeeney or when the Trego roster/details page does not load current information.

- For a current jail custody check, start with jail inmate records and then call Gove, Trego, or Thomas as needed.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots; Kansas allows some mugshots and arrest reports to be withheld at agency discretion.
- For filed charges, hearing dates, and case outcomes, use court records after a jail arrest and the Gove District Court contact above.
- For a specific holding jail, use the facility pages for Trego County Detention Facility and Thomas County Jail.
- For a sentenced Kansas prison record, use KDOC KASPER. It is for KDOC custody, supervision, and discharge records, not most brand-new Gove County arrests.
- For federal sentenced prisoners, use the BOP inmate locator. For immigration detention, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator. VINELink may be useful for custody-change notifications where available.
