Official Taylor County criminal records must come from the office that created or keeps them. The routes below separate court files from sheriff reports, jail records, and Iowa DCI checks. This is a private reference resource, so it cannot receive a filing or issue a record. Use the verified Bedford addresses and phone lines for the government service you need.

This Is Not a Government Office. We run a private reference site. We cannot pull criminal records, run official background checks, remove or correct a record, or accept expungement filings for anyone. For any of those, you need to reach the right government office directly.

  • Sheriff reports: the sheriff's Civil Division by counter, phone, fax at 712-523-3545, or the published sheriff and civil clerk email channels; records hours are weekdays, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
