Great Falls sits along the Missouri River and is a regional hub for north-central Montana. Malmstrom Air Force Base, located within the city, brings a substantial military population to the area. The Great Falls Municipal Court publishes an active warrant list online. Cascade County Detention Center maintains a public inmate roster with current bookings.
