This privately owned site has no affiliation with Shelby County, any sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides an FCRA-covered service for credit, employment, insurance, or tenant screening. We are not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency. The site only helps visitors locate Shelby County and Illinois public-record resources.
Nature of the Service
Shelby County Recent Arrests is a private reference resource. It stores no official arrest, booking, court, or custody records. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, change a government record, accept a records request for SCSO, or file court papers. Links point to official agencies and third-party research tools.

- Break any law while using the site

- Use information for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
- Attempt unauthorized access to systems or accounts
- Run bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools
- Disrupt service or interfere with another visitor
No Consumer Reports
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. We do not supply background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports, and neither we nor our advertising partners provides screening services. You agree not to use information from this site for:

Links Beyond This Site
Links may lead to SCSO, jail and corrections resources, court portals, legal-aid material, federal locators, news sources, and outside search tools. We do not control or endorse their content, availability, prices, or data practices. Review each destination’s own terms before using it.
No Warranties
The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not warrant accuracy, completeness, timeliness, uninterrupted operation, freedom from errors or security defects, or the scope of any partner search result. Custody and public records change often. Nothing here is an official statement from SCSO or another government body.

Illinois Governing Law
Illinois law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Illinois.
