Jackson County Sheriff and Jail Contacts
Jackson County Sheriff's Office102 East Laurel Street
Scottsboro, Alabama 35768
Office and non-emergency: 256-574-2610
Jail: 256-574-1884
Emergency: 911
Office hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
JCSO has not published a dedicated records-unit telephone number or email, an online sheriff records-request form, a booking-photo fee schedule, or a fulfillment deadline. Call the office number to identify the custodian and current procedure before sending a request. The Jackson County Commission's public-document form applies to Commission records and should not be treated as the sheriff's form.
Choose the contact that matches the record or custody stage:
- For a booking photo or arrest record, begin with the home search and records guide, then ask JCSO or the arresting municipal police department for the specific item.
- For the newest county bookings, use the Daily Arrest Report; for a broader local-news window, see the Weekly Arrest Log.
- For current county-jail custody or the 48-hour release view, use the official JCSO roster and call the jail when confirmation matters.
- For a served warrant or later case disposition, contact the Jackson Circuit Clerk. An unserved warrant is not public under the clerk's stated procedure.
- For someone convicted and sentenced to state prison, use the Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search. Alabama VNS is also limited to qualifying post-conviction ADOC cases, not fresh Jackson County Jail bookings.
- For federal prison custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator. For federal immigration custody, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
- For a city arrest, contact Scottsboro, Bridgeport, or Stevenson police about the incident record and JCSO about any later county-jail booking.
