About Yellowstone County Law Enforcement
Yellowstone County is Montana's most populous county, home to Billings — the state's largest city. Law enforcement is handled by the Yellowstone County Sheriff's Office, the Billings Police Department, and the Laurel Police Department, among others. The county seat, Billings, sits at the junction of Interstate 90 and I-94, making it a key transit corridor that law enforcement monitors closely for drug trafficking and vehicle crime. The Yellowstone County Detention Facility is located in Billings and publishes a live inmate roster online. The county also operates a dedicated cold case unit.
This page is designed to answer the searches people actually make around Billings and Yellowstone County: police blotter, arrests, jail roster, warrants, and recent law-enforcement activity.
Yellowstone is currently one of the deepest county archives on Montana Blotter, so this page can act as both a county landing page and the main internal hub for Billings, Laurel, county arrest coverage, and warrant-related searches.
