This privately owned site is not connected with any government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provides services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another purpose covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The site helps visitors locate Des Moines County and Iowa custody-record resources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.


Nature of the Service

This is an independent reference site with no government ties. It stores no official record and cannot confirm custody, release anyone, or file a document.

Its pages point to Des Moines County jail and arrest resources, Iowa corrections services, and independently operated research tools.

FCRA Uses Are Prohibited

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and offer no background check, credit report, consumer report, or screening service. Our advertising partners do not provide those services through this site. You agree not to use any information found here for:

  • Hiring, discipline, or termination decisions.
  • Tenant or housing screening.
  • Creditworthiness or insurance pricing.
  • Licensing, permits, or government-benefit eligibility.
  • Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA.

Independent Websites

Links may lead to jail information, police logs, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, legal-aid resources, or outside search tools. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control their content, privacy practices, or availability. Review each destination’s own terms.


No Warranties

The site and its content are provided “as is.” We do not warrant:

  • Accuracy, completeness, or timeliness.
  • Continuous availability.
  • Freedom from errors, defects, or security weaknesses.
  • Complete results from a search partner.

Custody and public-record details can change quickly. Nothing on this site is an official statement by the Des Moines County Sheriff’s Office or any government agency.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for losses or damages arising from access to, use of, or reliance on this site.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend and hold this site harmless from claims, losses, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the site or your breach of these terms.


Ownership of Site Materials

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Des Moines County Recent Arrests or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, or altered without written permission.


Revisions to These Terms

We may change these terms at any time. Revised terms become effective when posted here.


Ending or Limiting Access

We may restrict or revoke access at any time, for any reason, without prior notice.


Iowa Law Applies

Iowa law governs these terms. Any dispute must be filed in a court located within Iowa.


If One Term Fails

If a court finds one part invalid, all other parts remain in force. The invalid part will be narrowed only as much as needed.
