Direct answer

For Douglas County Nebraska arrest records, use the Department of Corrections inmate locator for current county custody, use the Sheriff or actual arresting agency for law-enforcement records, and verify the filed criminal case and disposition in the responsible Nebraska court.

Douglas County Nebraska splits custody and Sheriff law-enforcement records across different offices

Douglas County Department of Corrections operates the county inmate locator and is the custody layer when the immediate question is whether a person is presently held in county corrections. That result is time-sensitive, so keep the lookup date and inmate or booking identifier with any statement about detention.

Douglas County Sheriff is a separate law-enforcement source for Sheriff records, warrants and related services. If the arrest was made by another agency in the Omaha area, the original report can remain with that agency. A court case is yet another layer and should be used when the question becomes filed charges or final disposition.
