Comanche County Jail Roster
The county jail route is the "Current Inmates - Comanche County Detention Center" portal at inmates.bluhorse.com. Indexed official content showed roster fields, but direct retrieval did not return readable live HTML during source review. Treat the roster as the first lookup route when it opens, then call the Comanche County Sheriff's Office for confirmation if the portal fails, looks stale, or does not show the person searched.
The Comanche County sheriff page identifies Sheriff Jacob Bruckner. The Sheriff's Office website lists Comanche County Sheriff's Office, 408 North Central Avenue, Coldwater, Kansas 67029, phone 620-582-2511, emergency 911, and fax 620-582-2261. The county page gives the mailing address as PO Box 16, Coldwater, KS 67029. Staff listed in the research include Sheriff Jacob Bruckner, Undersheriff Jesse Brumbaugh, and deputies Tanner Huck, Tanner Maas, Stetsen Underwood, and Bryan Shanniak.
No official Comanche County Sheriff's Office mobile app was located in the official pages reviewed. No official Coldwater, Protection, or Wilmore police app was found in the official sources reviewed. The Sheriff's resources page links web resources rather than app badges, so inmate lookup should not be described as app based.
Use the Comanche County Roster
Use the roster for current local custody, then use the sheriff phone number when the search result needs confirmation. A jail roster result is not the same as a full criminal case record. The roster may show charges or bond, while the full court history, pleas, disposition, and sentencing belong with the District Court record. For the court side of a booking, use the Clerk of the District Court or Kansas CaseSearch after the case is filed.
- Open the Comanche County Detention Center current-inmates portal.
- Search by first name, last name, ID fields, or date range when those fields are available.
- Review any matching result for booking date, charges, bond, court, and hearing information.
- Call the Sheriff's Office at 620-582-2511 if the record is missing, unclear, or may involve a transfer.
- For court dates or filed case details, check Kansas CaseSearch or the Clerk of the District Court at 620-582-2182.
If a person has moved to state custody, the local Comanche County roster may no longer show the person. In that case, switch to state or federal tools instead of forcing another county jail search.
Comanche County Inmate Search Fields
The indexed roster content showed several search fields for current inmates. These fields let a user search broadly by name or narrow by identifiers and booking dates. Because the live page was not fully readable during research, the safest practice is to use the displayed fields when the portal loads and then verify any match with the Sheriff's Office before relying on the status.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Name | Text | Optional | Search current inmates by first name. |
| Last Name | Text | Optional | Search current inmates by last name. |
| Perm Id | Text | Optional | Permanent ID field shown in indexed page. |
| StateId | Text | Optional | State ID field shown in indexed page. |
| Start Date | Date | Optional | Date-range search field. |
| End Date | Date | Optional | Date-range search field. |
| Clear / Search | Button | N/A | Clears fields or executes the search. |
Note: A missing roster result is not proof that no arrest occurred, since a person may have bonded out, transferred, or entered state custody.
Comanche County Inmate Profile Fields
The indexed inmate profile inventory included custody and court-related fields. These details can help identify whether a person is being held by Comanche County, what agency made the arrest, what charges are listed, and whether a court event or bond entry is tied to the booking. Use the fields as a roster snapshot, not as the final court outcome.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name / citizen | The listed inmate or person profile name. |
| Booking number | The local booking identifier tied to the jail entry. |
| Booking date and time | When the jail booking was entered, when available. |
| Arrest agency | The sheriff, police, highway patrol, or other agency tied to the arrest. |
| Charges | The charges listed at booking or in the custody record. |
| Bond | Bond amount, bond type, or related bond status if shown. |
| Court and court date | The court and date connected to the custody or charge entry. |
| Room and hearing type | Hearing location or hearing category when indexed. |
| Perm ID and State ID | Identifier fields used by the roster system. |

VINE is useful when custody status and notification, rather than the full local jail roster, is the main concern.
Comanche County Jail Contact
Official local sources list one law enforcement office for jail and inmate questions. No official jail capacity, pod names, separate detention center mailing rules, or jail manual was published in the reviewed official sources. For current custody, visitation, mail, commissary, money deposits, and transfer questions, call the Sheriff's Office before visiting or sending anything.
Comanche County Sheriff's Office / Law Enforcement Office
408 N Central Ave.
Coldwater, KS 67029
620-582-2511
Fax: 620-582-2261
Mail: PO Box 16, Coldwater, KS 67029
Published jail policy details: no official visitation, mail, or commissary schedule located.
Ask whether the person is currently housed in Comanche County or was transferred to another county or facility. If transferred, the receiving facility may control visits, mail, money, phone accounts, video visits, dress code, and minor-visitor rules.
Comanche County Booking Process
A Comanche County booking can start after arrest by a sheriff's deputy, city officer, highway patrol trooper, or warrant agency. The person may be transported to the county jail or a holding facility for intake identification, booking photo, fingerprints when required, property inventory, and medical or security screening. The roster may then list charges, arrest agency, bond or no-bond status, court, and hearing information.
The first court stage can include a first appearance, bond review, or setting in the District Court or another court tied to the arrest. Booking charges are not the same as a conviction. Filed charges, amendments, dismissals, pleas, disposition, and sentence belong in court records. For the court outcome after booking, use Kansas CaseSearch or contact the Clerk of the District Court at the courthouse.

The KBI criminal history system is not a Comanche County jail roster, but it may be relevant when a statewide criminal history record is needed.
Comanche County Inmates Beyond Jail
Several statewide and federal tools can be confused with a county inmate roster. KDOC and KASPER concern Kansas Department of Corrections custody or supervision, not every local jail booking. The KASPER disclaimer notes that it is not a complete criminal history and that updates follow KDOC working-day processes. If a person has moved from Comanche County jail to state custody, KDOC may become the better route.
Kansas VINE and VINELink provide custody-status search and notification registration. The KBI Registered Offender Website covers sex, violent, and drug offender registration under Kansas law. The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator is for federal custody and does not replace a local Comanche County jail search.
| Tool | Best Use | Not For |
|---|---|---|
| County jail roster | Current Comanche County custody and booking clues | Full criminal history or state prison custody |
| KDOC / KASPER | Kansas prison, parole, or KDOC program records | Every local arrest or county booking |
| Kansas VINE | Custody status and notification registration | Complete court case documents |
| KBI Registered Offender Website | Registered sex, violent, and drug offender records | General jail roster searches |
| Federal inmate locator | Federal Bureau of Prisons custody | Comanche County jail bookings |
The manifest image from the KBI registered offender website shows another public safety search that is separate from Comanche County inmate records.
Use offender registration records only for registered-offender questions, not to decide whether someone is now in the county jail.
Comanche County Inmate Visitation
The official visitation, mail, commissary, phone, tablet, video-visit, and money-deposit schedule was not located in the reviewed Comanche County Sheriff's Office pages. No official vendor names for inmate money or communications were located. Do not assume common vendors or use a third-party deposit page without first confirming it with the sheriff.
Call the Sheriff's Office at 620-582-2511 before sending mail, visiting, or placing money for an inmate. Ask for the inmate's booking name, booking number if known, correct mail address format, visitor photo ID rules, minor visitor rules, dress code, whether visits are in person or video, and whether the person was transferred.
Ask also whether attorneys, clergy, and family visitors follow different rules. If the person is held for another agency or has been moved to a regional facility, Comanche County may not control the visit schedule or money-deposit method. This is especially important before a long rural drive to Coldwater.
| Topic | Published Official Schedule | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Visitation | Not located in official pages reviewed | Call the sheriff at 620-582-2511 before visiting. |
| Not located in official pages reviewed | Call for address format and restrictions before sending mail. | |
| Commissary | Not located in official pages reviewed | Call before sending funds or using any vendor. |
| Phone or video visits | Not located in official pages reviewed | Call to ask whether in-person, video, or both are used. |
| Money deposits | Not located in official pages reviewed | Call to confirm accepted methods and whether the inmate was transferred. |
Comanche County Inmate Records Requests
The Sheriff's services page says open-records requests may be completed using the provided form and hand delivered, mailed, or submitted through the Contact Us page. It also says not all records are subject to KORA and cites K.S.A. 45-221 exemptions. For inmate records, that means basic public information may be available while investigative, sealed, juvenile, medical, security, or exempt content may be withheld.
Use a sheriff records request for sheriff-held records, accident reports, civil process records, or booking-related documents that are public. Use the District Court Clerk or Kansas CaseSearch for court records tied to charges, hearings, pleas, disposition, or sentencing. KBI criminal history is the separate paid statewide route for criminal history checks and has a listed $30 Kansas.gov purchase price with daily 4 a.m. to midnight Central availability.
Important: Do not send money, mail, or private identifying details until the sheriff confirms current custody and rules.
The manifest image from the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator shows the federal custody route that applies outside the Comanche County jail system.
Federal custody searches are useful only when the person may be in the federal system rather than the local jail or Kansas state system.
