This private reference service is not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, arrange release, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Please contact the agency or court that holds the record for those matters.
Where to Direct Your Request
For a current Hamilton County Jail custody question or to ask how to submit a written request, contact the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office. The office and jail use the following verified county contact details. Directory-listed administrative hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to noon and 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.; law-enforcement services are listed as available at all times. Call before visiting because office availability can change.
A request for a past record should be in writing and narrow enough to identify the person, approximate date, arresting agency, and whether the request concerns a record, a photo, or release information. The Sheriff’s official contact form can carry a general inquiry, but call first to confirm the formal delivery method. The county’s March 2025 resolution reports a $5 initial report fee, $1 per additional page, a possible $5 USB charge, and up to 30 days for redaction review. A fee does not guarantee that a photo or record will be released.
