Find the Correct Records Office
Nevada County Sheriff's Office is at 950 Maidu Avenue, Suite 280, Nevada City, CA 95959. Its main and Records Division line is 530-265-1471. Public office hours are Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Corrections operates Wayne Brown Correctional Facility at 925 Maidu Avenue, Nevada City, CA 95959, and uses 530-265-1291. The best contact depends on the record:
- For a Nevada County booking record or image, begin with the county search and request instructions, then submit the precise request to Sheriff Records.
- For reported warrant status, use Most Wanted Fugitives and verify the active result through the proper court or counsel.
- For a recent arrest, use the official 30-day Jail Media Report; for current custody, use the separate incarcerated-person list.
- For custody or court-change alerts, follow the county's VINE route. Corrections staff do not publish release dates by phone.
- For an incident created by Truckee, Grass Valley, or Nevada City police, request the report from that police department rather than the jail.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation CIRIS locator and its separate photo-request channel.
- For federal prison or immigration detention, use the official Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator, both of which have their own scope limits.
