DuPage and Will County Handle Naperville Bookings
Naperville sits in both DuPage County and Will County. Most of the city is on the DuPage side.

If you are not sure which county a Naperville arrest falls in, check DuPage first. That covers the larger portion of the city.
Naperville Police Department Records
The Naperville Police Department is the law enforcement agency for the city. NPD makes arrests within city limits and then sends people to the right county jail for booking.

You can reach the records section through the Naperville PD records section page.
The Naperville Police Department website is where you will find all the services the department offers. It covers everything from reporting a crime to asking for records.

How to Get Naperville Arrest Records
Getting jail mugshots and arrest records in Naperville works a bit differently than in larger cities like Chicago. Naperville does not run its own public arrest search portal. Instead, you go through the police records section or the county jail search tools. The records section handles requests for arrest reports, and the county jails show who is currently in custody.
The records section page from the Naperville Police Department is shown below. This is where you can learn about how to request copies of arrest reports and other police documents.
Contact the records section at (630) 420-6666 for questions about getting specific reports. They can walk you through the steps needed to get the records you are looking for.
Under 5 ILCS 140/2.15, the Naperville Police Department must release arrest data within 72 hours of an arrest. That includes the person's name, age, address, and photograph when available. It also covers the charges, arrest time and location, and the arresting agency name. You can file a FOIA request with the department to get this data if it is not available through other means. Send it to 1350 Aurora Avenue, Naperville, IL 60540.
For people in county custody, the DuPage County inmate search is free to use online. The Will County jail system can be reached at 815-740-1250. Both show current inmates and may include booking photos.
Note: Naperville does not have its own online mugshot search, so use the county jail tools or file a FOIA request with NPD.
Naperville Mugshot Laws
The same Illinois laws that cover jail mugshots statewide apply to Naperville. The Freedom of Information Act is the big one. It says arrest info, including photos, must be released to the public. But there are rules about how that works. Police in Naperville cannot post booking photos on social media for low-level offenses like petty offenses, Class B misdemeanors, or Class C misdemeanors. That limit comes from 5 ILCS 140/2.15.
The Uniform Conviction Information Act (20 ILCS 2635) gives the public access to conviction records through the Illinois State Police. This is separate from arrest records. The UCIA only covers convictions. If someone was arrested in Naperville but not convicted, their case would not show up through this system. You need a special form from the Bureau of Identification to make a request, and each form has a unique processing number that cannot be copied.
Under 5 ILCS 160, agencies like the Naperville Police Department can charge for copies of arrest records. The fee must match the actual cost of making the copies. No added labor charges. And 815 ILCS 505/2QQQ makes it illegal for any website to charge a fee to take down someone's mugshot. The Illinois Attorney General enforces this rule. Anyone with wrong info posted can sue for $100 per day until the error is fixed.
State Resources for Naperville Records
State-level tools can also help when looking for records tied to a Naperville arrest. The Illinois Department of Corrections inmate search shows anyone serving time in a state prison. This covers people who were originally arrested in Naperville but later sentenced to state prison. IDOC is at 1301 Concordia Court in Springfield. Call 217-558-2200 for help.
The Illinois State Police also keep a sex offender registry at sor.isp.illinois.gov. You can search by name, address, or city to find registered offenders in Naperville. The Bureau of Identification handles criminal history requests and can be reached at 815-740-5160 or by email at ISP.BOI.Customer.Support@illinois.gov. They are open weekdays from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
