Custody and Records Contacts
Centre County uses different custodians for jail status, warrant matters, police reports, and court records. The following contacts are the research-confirmed starting points. A request for a record should identify the agency that created or holds it.
Centre County Correctional Facility
700 Rishel Hill Road
Bellefonte, PA 16823
814-355-6794
The county FAQ directs callers to option 0 for a jail-status inquiry. Central Booking is reached at 814-548-1186 and accepts required appointments Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Centre County Sheriff's Office
213 East High Street
Bellefonte, PA 16823
814-355-6803
Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The Sheriff directory identifies a Warrants Department Clerk. For an emergency, call 911.
The county's Open Records Request page routes county requests through its Right-to-Know process. Sheriff and Court Administration requests may need to go to those offices. For existing CCCF material, ask the facility or confirmed custodian for the record, its date range, and any available electronic copy.
Where to Look First
Pick the source that matches the question. Custody status, a police report, and a later court outcome do not live in the same system.
- Use the county custody and record path for VINE, CCCF, official request steps, and court-routing context.
- For a sheriff warrant question, use the Most Wanted Fugitives contact and court-check information.
- For a state-sentenced person, start with the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections locator.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP locator or ICE detainee locator.
- For an arresting-agency publication or local reporting context, use Crime News and the applicable city source.
