This is a private reference site, not a Chautauqua County office. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Those questions belong with the agency or court that controls the record.
County Custody and Records
Start with the Sheriff for a current Chautauqua County Jail custody question, a photo inquiry, or a targeted public-record request. The records staff handles FOIL, arrest-related records, sealing orders, and photo inquiries. The jail directory separately lists a jail information line.

For a written request, use the county FOIL request form. A precise request should identify the agency, person, date range, and record type. The county states that paper copies cost $0.25 per page and that acknowledgment is expected in about five business days.
- Use the county records and custody page for the current roster and FOIL path.
- Use Most Wanted Fugitives for official warrant information and safety-focused checking.
- Use New York DOCCS lookup for state custody rather than a county booking record.
- Use the BOP locator or ICE locator for the appropriate federal custody question.
