This private reference site is not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible agency or court directly for those services.
Official Buchanan Records Contacts
For a county law-enforcement question, contact Buchanan County Sheriff’s Office. A regional-jail booking record or adult intake-photo request belongs first with SWVRJA’s FOIA contact because the authority holds the relevant regional-jail materials. No separate Sheriff records-unit number or public office hours were located in the county directory.

- For present regional custody, use the SWVRJA Current Facility Inmates entry point.
- For a past booking record or an adult initial-intake photo, use the SWVRJA FOIA contact and provide a narrow, specific request.
- For what happened after a booking, use Virginia case information and contact the proper Buchanan clerk for verification.
