This private reference service is not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or obtain official booking records. Contact the responsible public office directly for those needs.
Where to Route a Records Question
A Jefferson County arrest can involve the committing agency, the sheriff, Eastern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility, or the court. Start with the office that created or maintains the item sought. The home page supplies the DCR search and request sequence, while the contacts below are useful for agency routing.
- For a current or recent regional-jail result, start with the WVDCR search landing page.
- For a Jefferson County sheriff report, contact the Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Office.
- For a court case or later disposition, use WV Courts access or the Magistrate Court.
- For a municipal report, contact the police department that created it.
- For federal custody, use the appropriate federal locator instead of treating ERJ as a federal roster.
Sheriff Records Routing
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Office lists its physical office and business hours below. Its services page says incident and accident reports can be requested in person or by mail and publishes a $20 per-copy report charge. Associated-picture charges are listed separately, but a booking photograph may instead be held by ERJ, DCR, or the committing agency.

For an ERJ record, identify Eastern Regional Jail, the person, approximate admission date, and whether the request concerns an admission record, photo, or both.
