Where to Look for an Inmate or Record
For Hancock County arrest and report questions, start with the office or system that controls the record. The Hancock County Sheriff's Department lists Sheriff Scott Gittings at P.O. Box 458, 102 N.

- For someone in regional jail custody, use jail inmate records and the WVDCR regional jail search, then call Northern Regional if the web result is unclear.
- For booking-photo questions, review jail roster mugshots; the research did not confirm a Hancock sheriff mugshot gallery.
- For charges filed after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, Magistrate Case Record Search, WVPASS, or the Hancock clerk offices.
- For the detention facility serving Hancock County, use Northern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the WVDCR DOC offender search rather than the regional jail search.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator, U.S. Marshals district contacts, or ICE Online Detainee Locator.
