Reynolds County Sheriff's Office 24 Hour Booking

The Reynolds County Sheriff's Office manages all 24 hour booking for the county. The office is at 221 S Main St in Centerville, MO 63633.

Reynolds County belongs to the 42nd Judicial Circuit in Missouri. Criminal cases that begin with a Reynolds County booking proceed through this circuit court. The county covers a large area of rugged Ozark terrain with very few people. Centerville is a tiny town. But the booking process runs the same way here as in Missouri's biggest counties. Every arrest makes a record. Every record is public unless a specific exemption applies.

Given the county's small size, the jail sees a low number of bookings. That can make it easier to get information from the sheriff's office by phone. Call (573) 648-2491 to ask about recent bookings. Staff can tell you if someone is in custody and what charges are on file.
