Andrew County Jail Roster

Andrew County Jail and Sheriff's Office

The Andrew County jail is located in Savannah, the county seat. The Andrew County Sheriff's Office oversees all jail operations, including bookings, releases, and the jail roster. Andrew County is a smaller jurisdiction, and its jail capacity reflects that. The county borders DeKalb, Platte, and Buchanan counties in the northwest corner of Missouri. Because of its size, Andrew County has historically worked with neighboring counties on jail services. At one point, Buchanan County housed Andrew County inmates when the local jail was not available.

Today the Andrew County jail roster is maintained by the sheriff's office in Savannah. Every person booked into the facility appears on the roster with their name, charges, and booking date. The roster is a public record under Missouri law. Anyone can ask to see it.
