This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody or has been released, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the agency that holds the record for those services.
Official Offices and Record Routes
For a Polk County booking record, booking photograph, or current local custody question, start with the county office below. No dedicated records email, public counter hours, booking-photo price, or Polk-specific response deadline was verified. Call to confirm access before visiting. Sheriff Scott Sawyer and Jail Administrator Craig Mohr have published email addresses, but neither is identified as a dedicated records inbox.
Polk County Sheriff's Office / Polk County Detention Center507 Church Ave.
Mena, AR 71953
Phone: 479-394-2511
Fax: 479-394-1975

Jail Administrator Craig Mohr: cmohr@polkcountyar.org
Counter hours and record costs: contact the office to confirm
Arkansas FOIA requests may be made through several channels, including mail, email, telephone, fax, or an in-person request. A written request creates a useful record of its scope. State law permits actual reproduction cost plus delivery, not an assumed county price. These routes lead to the office suited to each question:
- For a Polk County mugshot or booking sheet, use the county search and records path, then ask the sheriff for a focused record by full name and approximate booking date.
- For an active wanted notice or possible warrant, consult Most Wanted and confirm the entry with the Polk County Sheriff's Office or the issuing court. Do not approach a listed person.
- For a recent arrest report, compare the official sheriff app's Jail Info module with the weekly agency reports described on the home page. Neither this private site nor a newspaper can confirm live custody.
- For a release time or custody alert, call the detention center and use Arkansas VINE where its participating record coverage applies.
- For a city incident report, contact Mena Police at 304 DeQueen St., Mena, AR 71953, 479-394-1212, or Grannis Police at 132 Frachiseur Road, Grannis, AR 71944, 870-385-7852. Wickes has no verified current municipal police department, so call Town Hall at 870-385-2575 to identify any town custodian.
- For a sentenced state prisoner's profile and institutional photo, use the Arkansas Department of Corrections inmate search. That profile is not the county booking image.
- For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator. For covered immigration custody, use the ICE detainee locator. Neither service is a Polk County jail roster or mugshot source.
