Clinton County Records Contacts
The Sheriff is the starting point for county-jail custody questions, county booking material, and the county FOIL form. For an arrest report, identify the agency that made the arrest because a municipal police department, NYSP, or another authority may hold a different part of the record.

Choose the Right Official Path
Different records live with different public offices. The following route list is designed to avoid sending a request to an office that does not hold the material.
- For current county custody, start with the Sheriff Corrections route and its VINELink link, described on the home page.
- For a specific county booking record or releasable photo, submit a narrow Sheriff FOIL request.
- For a City of Plattsburgh police report, use the city police records and FOIL page.
- For a court outcome or warrant issued by a court, contact the issuing court clerk or use New York eCourts where supported.
- For an available custody notification, use VINELink; the service is not a final court record.
- For a state-prison custody record, use the DOCCS lookup.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP or ICE locator that matches the custody type.
The Wanted Fugitives page gives the county’s official probation and Sheriff routing for a warrant question. A warrant notice or a search result should never be treated as permission to approach a person.
