Phillips County Sheriff's Office Overview
Phillips County Sheriff's Office is the county law-enforcement and criminal-justice records office in Holyoke. The official sheriff page identifies Sheriff Michael Beard, Undersheriff Abelardo Magana, deputies, and Administrative Assistant/Victim Advocate Program Director Kelley Sullivan. Sheriff Beard joined the office in 2020 as undersheriff and was appointed sheriff after Sheriff Thomas Elliott died in February 2023.
The important custody distinction is that the Sheriff's Office is the local arrest and records starting point, not a verified online jail roster. The county website pages reviewed showed staff, public-records requests, victim services, concealed-handgun permits, VIN inspections, and related sheriff services. They did not publish a current Phillips County jail roster, jail capacity page, booking report, visitation schedule, commissary page, or mugshot gallery.
The official Phillips County sheriff staff page documents the local office and sheriff contact route.

Phillips County Sheriff's Office Capacity and Population
No current Phillips County jail capacity was published on the official sheriff pages reviewed, and the office should not be described as a confirmed public jail roster. For population trend context, Vera/Incarceration Trends marks Phillips County as a regional-jail county and allocated a 2024 jail capacity estimate of 19.85 beds, an allocated jail population of 2.44, and pretrial custody of 1.70. Those figures are county-level regional-jail estimates, not a live roster or a current headcount at the sheriff's office.
How to Look Up a Phillips County Arrest or Inmate Record
Use the Sheriff's Office first when the person was arrested by a Phillips County deputy, the record is an incident report, or the question is about local custody routing. If the person is currently in jail, the next practical step is Logan County Detention Center at 970-522-2578 option 2, because Phillips County did not publish a live roster or jail-housing contract page in accessible official sources.
- Call Phillips County Sheriff's Office at 970-854-3644 for local arrest, report, or custody-routing questions.
- For a written sheriff record request, email Mbeard@phillipscounty.co, fax 970-854-2332, or mail 221 S. Interocean Ave., Holyoke, CO 80734.
- Call Logan County Detention Center at 970-522-2578 option 2 for current jail housing confirmation.
- Register with VINELink or call COVINE at 1-888-263-8463 for custody notification where participating county jails are online.
- Search CDOC Offender Search for sentenced Colorado prison inmates, not new county arrests.
- Use the BOP Inmate Locator for federal sentenced prisoners and ICE ODLS for immigration detention.
- Use the Colorado Judicial docket search and Phillips Combined Court for court dates, charges, and case activity after arrest.

The Phillips County public-records page says a requester who wants a copy of a report or another public record should review the Sheriff's Office Records Release Policy and Fees, complete the request form, and submit it by email, fax, or mail. County CORA policy says requests should describe the specific records, search terms, and date range. One hour or less of research and retrieval is listed as no charge; additional time is $30 per hour, standard copies are $0.25 per page, and substantial requests may require approval and payment before work begins.

Visiting or Finding Someone Through Phillips County Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff's Office page did not publish a jail visitation schedule, public jail lobby hours, video-visitation rules, commissary vendor, jail phone vendor, or inmate mail format. The VIN inspection service page documents walk-in sheriff counter service Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for that service, but that should not be converted into jail visiting hours. For visits, first confirm whether the person is housed at Logan County Detention Center or somewhere else.
Phillips County's VINE page explains that COVINE helps victims and citizens obtain custody status for jail inmates under supervision in Colorado county jails that are online with the system. Users can register online through VINELink or call 1-888-263-8463. The county page also cautions that the service applies only to county jails that elect to participate and that CDOC has not been added to COVINE.

VINE is useful for notification, but it is not a complete Phillips County jail roster and should not be the only safety or custody-verification step.
| Need | Where to Start | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Current custody | Phillips Sheriff, then Logan jail phone | No Phillips live roster located |
| Visitation | Actual housing jail | No Phillips schedule published |
| Victim notification | COVINE/VINELink | County-jail participation varies |
| Court date | Colorado Judicial docket search | Dockets are not custody proof |
Mail, Phone, and Money After a Phillips County Arrest
Because the Sheriff's Office is not a confirmed public jail roster page and no Phillips County jail service rules were located, mail and money questions depend on actual housing. If the person is at Logan County Detention Center, ask that jail for the mail format, inmate ID requirement, phone vendor, commissary vendor, deposit methods, and fees. If the person has moved to CDOC after sentencing, use CDOC money and visitation rules instead. BOP and ICE detainees follow federal or immigration custody systems, not Phillips County jail rules.
| Custody System | Mail / Money Source |
|---|---|
| Regional county jail | Confirm with Logan County Detention Center before sending anything. |
| Colorado state prison | Use CDOC offender location and CDOC money/visitation rules. |
| Federal prison | Use BOP locator and BOP facility instructions. |
| Immigration detention | Use ICE ODLS and the listed detention facility rules. |
Booking and Intake Connected to Phillips County Sheriff's Office
A Phillips County arrest can involve a deputy, local police officer, Colorado State Patrol trooper, warrant, court order, or another authorized agency. The available research did not show a Phillips County public booking workflow or jail intake page. A person may be processed locally, routed to Logan County Detention Center for housing, released on bond, transferred to another county, held for DOC/parole, or held under federal or ICE authority. Court charges may differ from arrest charges once the 13th Judicial District Attorney files a complaint or information.
About Phillips County Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff's Office serves Phillips County through law enforcement, records, victim services, and public-facing sheriff services. Kelley Sullivan directs the Victim's Advocate Program serving Phillips and Sedgwick Counties. The office is the best first contact for Phillips County arrest records, but current jail housing should be confirmed with the actual detention facility. No Colorado DOC prison, federal BOP prison, ICE detention center, or U.S. Marshals-only detention facility was located physically inside Phillips County.
Roster caveat: The official Phillips County site did not publish a live jail roster or booking-photo gallery in the accessible sources reviewed.
