Welcome to the Norman Co Sheriff's Directory on InmateAid. Use this tool to find recent arrestees and check the status of arrest warrants. This directory provides current, accurate information, respecting privacy while meeting your needs. Thank you for visiting; we are here to help.

The Norman County Sheriff's Office, led by Sheriff Ben Fall, operates a 72-hour holding facility for short-term detention purposes. In 1976, Norman County partnered with Polk and Red Lake Counties through a Joint Powers Agreement, resulting in the establishment of Tri-County Community Corrections. This regional collaboration enables the counties to efficiently provide correctional services, including inmate housing and rehabilitation programs.

When an individual is arrested in Norman County, the Sheriff's Office manages the initial booking process, which includes recording personal details, taking fingerprints, and photographing arrestees. Due to the county’s limited holding capabilities, detainees are promptly transferred to the Tri-County Community Corrections-Northwest Regional Corrections Center (TCCC serves as an administrative and operational agency managing community-based correctional services across multiple counties, including probation, parole, and rehabilitation programs. The NWRCC is a physical jail facility under TCCC’s management, responsible for the detention and supervision of adult inmates within a secure environment.), where they receive secure housing, meals, medical care, and access to legal and rehabilitative resources. This arrangement allows the Sheriff's Office to focus on law enforcement and administrative responsibilities while ensuring detainees are appropriately housed and supported until their legal proceedings are resolved.
