Huntsville, AL arrest records & inmate search
For Huntsville arrest records, first distinguish a jail booking from a police report. The city directs detention inquiries to Madison County, while Huntsville Police maintains its own incident and case reports.

Use the Madison County inmate roster
The City of Huntsville identifies the Madison County Sheriff’s Office as the provider of its detention services at the Madison County Metro Jail. This is the starting point for the county booking lookup described here. City of Huntsville detention services ↗
If you are searching for “Huntsville jail view,” use the sheriff’s current inmate roster and its name-search controls. Compare the booking number, date and reported charges, and check the original entry for the latest available information. Madison County Sheriff’s Office inmate roster ↗
Our Madison County collection contains county records, not a list filtered to Huntsville arrests. It includes historical entries and available releases as well as last-observed custody information. Text records remain searchable even when this collection does not include a mugshot.
Find a Huntsville Police report
Huntsville Police’s Records Division maintains criminal case and traffic accident reports. Its Records & Reports page explains how to request a copy and what information is needed. Use those instructions for a police report rather than treating the jail roster as the full incident record. Huntsville Police Records & Reports ↗
Verify current inmate information
For a current detention question, follow the jail contact information on the city’s official Records & Reports page. A missing name in our collection may reflect publication timing, source coverage or a later change; it does not confirm that someone is or is not in custody.

Search our Madison County collection
Start with a first or last name. If you know the booking or arrest date, use the record-date field to narrow the results. Each record links to its original source and shows when it was last checked. Names can match different people, so compare the record details.
This searches all published Madison County records in our collection, not only Huntsville. Coverage depends on the source and collection window; it is not a complete city arrest history or a live inmate roster.
