Why We Built This Site
Finding the custodian is often harder than asking for the record. The Mineral County Sheriff keeps its own incident and arrest reports, while Circuit and Magistrate Court clerks maintain filed charges and dispositions. Regional booking and custody data belongs to the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation, not a county jail. The West Virginia State Police maintains both the biometric criminal-history repository and the statewide sex offender registry. This site organizes verified contact details, request steps, official search links, and any confirmed fees so readers can start with the office that actually controls the file.
What You Will Find Here

What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site. We have no connection to any West Virginia court, sheriff’s office, police department, or state agency. There are real limits to what we can help with:
- We cannot issue a certified court record, rap sheet, or other official copy
- We cannot submit an expungement petition, public-records request, or other filing for a reader
- We cannot retrieve a person’s criminal record or conduct an official background check
- We cannot interpret a charge or give advice about a specific legal matter
- We cannot promise that an agency’s hours, address, fee, or telephone number has not changed
An official copy must come from its custodian, such as the Mineral County Sheriff, the appropriate court clerk, or the West Virginia State Police. This resource can provide directions, but it cannot issue the document.
Search Partners
Third-party providers power search boxes that appear on some pages. Each provider controls its own service, results, terms, and prices. A paid signup reached through one of those tools may generate a referral fee that supports this free site. We do not set the provider’s price or decide what its search returns.
