Questions about official Ohio County criminal records belong with the office that created or keeps the record. This private site cannot fulfill a request or change a file. The contacts below route court records to the clerks, sheriff reports to Sheriff Records, local police reports to the proper department, custody questions to WVDCR, and fingerprint-based checks to the West Virginia State Police.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference site cannot retrieve or correct a criminal record, conduct an official check, issue a certified copy, or accept an expungement petition. Contact the responsible government office directly.
