Arab Police Department Jail Custody Search

Arab Police Department Jail Overview

The Arab Police Department is located at 740 North Main Street, Arab, AL 35016. Official police contact information lists the main phone as 256-586-7525, the non-emergency line as 256-586-8124, and fax as 256-586-9808. The official page names Shane Washburn as Chief of Police and Dusty Vaughn as Assistant Chief. It states that the department has 28 APOST-certified officers and 12 non-certified support staff, including Dispatchers, a Jail Warden, Jailers, Secretaries, and an Animal Control Officer. That staffing language is the official basis for treating Arab as a municipal jail or holding facility in the Marshall County facility map.

Arab did not publish a standalone jail roster, capacity table, online detainee search, booking-photo gallery, mail policy, money vendor, or visitation schedule in the official pages reviewed. However, a Dispatcher/Jailer job posting adds operational detail: the position monitors jail cells by closed-circuit TV, prepares and maintains prisoner records and the jail log book, processes admissions and discharges, monitors the jail, provides linens and laundry, and transports inmates, meals, and bed and bath items. Those duties support the existence of city holding operations, while still leaving many public-service rules unpublished. If Arab transfers a person to county custody, the fallback agency is the Marshall County Sheriff's Office tied to Sheriff's Department head Phil Sims.

The official Arab Police Department page at arabcity.org/police-department is the source for the address, police contacts, and jail staff references.

The captured page is facility-specific because it shows the police department context and the support staff references used to identify Arab's jail function.

Arab Police Department Jail Capacity and Population

No official Arab source reviewed for this project published a rated city jail capacity, current detainee count, average daily population, bed count, or demographic breakdown. The police page gives department staffing numbers, not jail population numbers. Those staffing figures should not be converted into a capacity estimate. The Dispatcher/Jailer duties confirm jail-cell monitoring and admissions and discharges, but they do not state how many people can be held or how many were held on a specific date.

For a current custody question, the correct first step is to call Arab Police. The Marshall County Jail current roster becomes relevant only if a person has been transferred to the sheriff-operated county jail in Guntersville. ADOC covers sentenced state-prison custody after transfer from local systems. BOP and ICE are federal custody lookups and should not be used as substitutes for Arab municipal jail contact.

How to Look Up Someone at Arab Police Department Jail

Arab did not publish an online public jail roster in the captured official sources. The lookup workflow is based on direct police contact, the records clerk, municipal court, and the county jail roster when transfer is involved. This matters because a person may be in city police custody, released on a city matter, held for an Arab Municipal Court setting, or moved to Marshall County Jail after processing.

1. Call Arab Police at 256-586-7525, or use the non-emergency line at 256-586-8124 for non-urgent police contact.
2. For report-related questions, contact the records clerk channel listed by the police department.
3. Search the Marshall County current inmate roster if Arab indicates the person was transferred to county custody.
4. Use Arab Municipal Court for city warrant, bench warrant, arraignment, payment, trial, or inmate docket questions.

Arab lists Sean Jepson as Records Clerk at 256-586-7525. The police page says accident reports require an incident report number and tells users to call 256-586-7525 Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. That records path is narrower than a public jail roster, but it is the official city channel located in the research. Arab's Municipal Court page is the matching source for city warrants and docket timing.

Arab Police Department Jail Address and Contact

The Arab Police Department and Arab Municipal Court share the same North Main Street address in the official research. Use the police number for custody and records routing, the non-emergency number for non-urgent police contact, and the municipal court number for warrant or docket questions. Emergency situations should go to 911 rather than a jail or records line.

Visiting Someone at Arab Police Department Jail

No official Arab visitor schedule was located for the police department jail or holding function. The captured sources did not publish in-person hours, remote video rules, a vendor, visitor identification requirements, dress code, visitation fees, or cancellation policies. Because of that, Arab's page should not import Marshall County Jail's remote visitation rules or Albertville's Sunday visitation schedule. Call Arab Police before traveling or trying to arrange a visit.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Arab Police Department Jail

The official Arab police and municipal court pages reviewed for this project did not publish an inmate mail address, personal-mail rule, legal-mail rule, commissary vendor, online deposit vendor, phone-call provider, video provider, or fee table for the Arab Police Department Jail. The Dispatcher/Jailer duties mention linens, laundry, prisoner records, jail logs, admissions, discharges, and transport of meals and items, but they do not describe public money or mail procedures.

If a person is moved to Marshall County Jail, the sheriff jail's mail, JailATM, and Inmate Sales rules may become relevant for that county custody period. The trigger is actual transfer to county custody, not the fact that Arab is located in Marshall County.

Booking, Warrants, and Arab Municipal Court

Arab Municipal Court is at 740 North Main Street, Arab, AL 35016, and the published phone number is 256-586-3540. The court page provides the main local warrant pathway. A person seeking a warrant must report the crime or violation to the Arab Police Department and obtain an incident report. The offense must have occurred within Arab's police jurisdiction. The magistrate determines probable cause, prepares a sworn complaint, and issues an arrest warrant if the facts support it.

The court page also warns that failure to appear can result in a bench warrant. Arab court dockets list a morning docket at 9 a.m. for trials and inmates and an afternoon docket at 1:15 p.m. for arraignments and payments. That docket language is useful for people trying to understand why a person in city custody may have a municipal court setting before release or transfer.

About Arab Police Department Jail

Arab's official materials do not present a standalone jail page in the same way Boaz does, but they do identify jail staff and describe jailer duties. The police page lists a Jail Warden and Jailers among the department's support staff. The Dispatcher/Jailer duties add operational detail by describing jail-cell monitoring by closed-circuit TV, prisoner records, the jail log book, admissions, discharges, laundry, linens, meals, and transport of inmates and jail items.

Those facts support a municipal jail or holding function, while the public lookup and service gaps remain significant. There is no public Arab inmate roster in the research, no city jail capacity, no visitor schedule, and no published deposit or mail vendor. For a complete custody search, move in order from Arab Police to Arab Municipal Court, then to the Marshall County Jail roster if transfer is indicated, and finally to ADOC, BOP, or ICE only when the custody type has changed.
