Contacts

This site is not a government office and cannot confirm custody, post bond, schedule visits, pull police reports, change court records, or answer for any jail. The contacts below route Ohio County inmate, jail, sheriff, court, state corrections, federal, and immigration questions to the offices or official tools that handle those records.

Do not send urgent custody, bond, medical, or emergency messages to this private site. For an emergency, call 911. For a current custody question, use the official jail or corrections contact that matches the person's custody type.

Ohio County Sheriff Records

The Ohio County Sheriff's Office is the local law-enforcement and police-report contact, not the operator of Northern Regional Jail. The sheriff's site lists the office at 51 Sixteenth Street, Wheeling, WV 26003. Law enforcement is listed at (304) 234-3680, records at (304) 234-3792, and non-emergency dispatch at (304) 234-3606.

For sheriff police reports, the FAQ says to contact administrative offices Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The listed police-report fee is $15 per report. A records request for WVDCR jail custody should go to the corrections custodian instead of the sheriff unless the sheriff created the specific report being requested.
