Phillips County Recent Bookings

Phillips County recent bookings are posted by the Phillips County Sheriff's Office in Helena-West Helena. The Phillips County jail is the Hickey Detention Center. Phillips County does not publish a fully self-hosted online roster, so inmate lookups go through the sheriff, the Arkansas Sheriffs' Association, and state tools. This page lays out the Phillips County sheriff contact, the Phillips County circuit clerk, FOIA steps for Phillips County booking records, and the state systems that track a Phillips County inmate past release.

Phillips County Sheriff and Recent Bookings

The Phillips County Sheriff's Office runs booking, patrol, and jail operations for Phillips County. The office is at 313 South Izard Street, Suite 10, with a mailing address of P.O.
