Official Records Contacts

This private reference resource is not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, arrange a release or bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible public office directly for those actions.


Washoe County Offices

The Washoe County Sheriff's Office operates the adult detention system and its Records Section handles the county request route. The public roster is a current-custody tool; a past booking or a photo request should be directed to Records.

Washoe County Sheriff's Office and Records Section
911 Parr Boulevard
Reno, NV 89512
Main: (775) 328-3001
Records: (775) 328-3023
Detention/current-custody fallback: (775) 328-3062
Warrants: (775) 328-3398

WCSO does not publish dependable general public hours for booking-record requests. Call Records or use its GovQA request portal to confirm the current submission method and hours.


Choose the Correct Custodian

Each office maintains a different record. Starting with the right one avoids treating a news item or a roster result as a full case record.

  • For present adult custody, use the WCSO inmate search or detention line.
  • For a Washoe booking record or possible booking photo, contact WCSO Records.
  • For a Reno-created report, contact Reno Police Records at 911 Kuenzli Street, Reno, NV 89502, (775) 334-2155 ext. 0.
  • For a Sparks-created report, contact Sparks Police Records at 1701 East Prater Way, Sparks, NV 89434, (775) 353-2279.
  • For a court outcome, use the appropriate Washoe court portal or records office.
  • For a sentenced state-prison record, use the Nevada Department of Corrections offender search.
