This is a private reference service, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or pull an official booking record. Contact the responsible agency directly for those needs.
Jail and Sheriff records
For an appropriate current adult jail question, use Lincoln County Corrections. For an existing Sheriff report, booking record, or possible releasable image, use the official public-records request route. The Sheriff states that requests are reviewed and generally answered within seven to ten working days; ask for a fee estimate because no fixed price was verified.

Sheriff public-records requests
Choose the correct custodian
The right office depends on who made the report and which record is needed.
- Merrill Police Records, 715-536-8311, for a Merrill Police incident.
- Tomahawk Police, 715-453-2121, for Tomahawk Police material.
- Lincoln County Clerk of Courts, 715-536-0319, for court copies and case questions.
- WI DOC Locator for Wisconsin DOC custody, not county jail intake.
- BOP Locator or ICE ODLS only for their separate federal scopes.
The Lincoln County record path explains why a police report, a jail booking, and a court case cannot be treated as the same record.
