This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, post bond, release anyone, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the office that created the record.
Official Hancock Record Contacts
Choose the contact by record type. The Hancock County Sheriff handles county-created arrest, transport, incident, and related records. DCR operates Northern Regional Jail and holds its custody and release records. Court staff provide case entries and signed orders. A person sentenced in Hancock County may be supervised elsewhere, so use DCR's current directory rather than assuming the reporting office.

DCR Parole Services and West Virginia VINE
Use the current DCR Parole Services directory to find the office tied to an approved release address. DCR supervises parolees; the West Virginia Parole Board makes parole decisions. For custody-status information and phone-notification registration, call VINE at 1-866-WV4-VINE (1-866-984-8463).
These routes match the most common requests:
- Use the home page for the full named-person search and release-record request path.
- Use Probation & Parole to distinguish Board decisions from DCR supervision.
- Use Jail Releases: 24 Hours for the official-source fallback when no county release feed exists.
- Use Projected Release for a tentative date and VINELink Inmate Search for an alert.
- Use DCR's offender-search hub for current regional-jail custody or a state prison record.
- Use the BOP Inmate Locator for a federal prisoner or the ICE locator when a transfer to immigration custody is documented.
- Use the facility links below to identify the office responsible for a specific kind of record.
