Patrick County Record Contacts

This private reference is not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking file. Contact the government office that holds the record.


Pick the right records route

Patrick County uses different custodians for different questions. A current local-custody issue should begin with the Sheriff. A specific existing booking record or adult initial-intake photo follows the County FOIA process. The courts handle hearing and disposition records, while state and federal systems have their own separate locators.

  • Use the Sheriff for current Patrick County custody or official routing.
  • Use County FOIA for a narrowly described existing booking or arrest record.
  • Use OCIS and the clerk for a court case, hearing, or disposition.
  • Use VADOC only for state custody or supervision, and BOP or ICE only for their distinct systems.
