This website is a private reference guide, not an Erie County office. We cannot confirm custody, release an inmate, post bond, schedule visitation, pull official booking records, or change a court or jail record. Use the official offices below for those actions.

Where to Start for Erie County Records

For adult custody, the main local office is the Erie County Sheriff's Office and Erie County Jail, 2800 Columbus Avenue, Sandusky, OH 44870. The sheriff's main phone is (419) 625-7951, toll free 1 (888) 399-6065, and the Jail Division line is (419) 627-7569. Research materials identify Lieutenant Sidney Timko as Jail Administrator at (419) 627-7569 ext. 6233. For sheriff report records through the Glyph portal, the listed Records Department contact is (419) 625-7951 ext. 6250, with hours shown as 8:00AM to 5:00PM Monday through Friday.

Use the route that matches the record or custody system you need:

  • Current adult county jail custody: start with jail inmate records and the JDS Erie County Jail roster, then call the Jail Division if a recent booking is missing or unclear.
  • Booking photos: review jail roster mugshots; for a non-posted booking photo or related sheriff record, use the sheriff's public-records process or Glyph Records contact.
  • Charges filed after arrest: use court records after a jail arrest. Erie County Municipal Court is at 150 W Mason Road, Milan, OH 44846, phone (419) 499-4689. The Erie County Clerk of Courts Legal Office is at 323 Columbus Avenue, Sandusky, OH 44870, phone (419) 627-7706, Monday through Friday 8:00AM to 4:00PM.
  • Specific facilities: use the facility pages linked in the footer for the Erie County Jail, Erie County Detention Center, and Northern Ohio Juvenile Community Corrections Facility.
  • Sentenced Ohio prisoners: use the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Offender Search at appgateway.drc.ohio.gov/OffenderSearch.
  • Federal or immigration custody: use the BOP Inmate Locator at bop.gov/inmate_locator or the ICE detainee locator at locator.ice.gov. If ICE results do not resolve the question, USAGov directs users to contact an ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations field office.
