Niagara County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot retrieve or confirm official records, custody, or release status, and we cannot release anyone, post bond, or obtain an official booking record. Please use the responsible government office for those matters.


Niagara Sheriff Record Contacts

For county custody, jail information, or an agency record question, begin with the Niagara County Sheriff's Office: 5526 Niagara Street Ext., P.O. Box 496, Lockport NY 14095-0496. The main, non-emergency number is 716-438-3393. Jail information is available at 716-438-3446, and police records are listed at 716-438-3416. The Sheriff's administrative office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, Eastern time.

For an official county FOIL submission, complete the county form and return it to Niagara County Legislature, Niagara County Courthouse, 175 Hawley St, Lockport NY 14094-2740. Name the Niagara County Sheriff's Office as the likely record holder and ask that the request be routed to the appropriate Records Access Officer. The County Public Information Office is listed at 716-439-7241 and ncpio@niagaracounty.com, but the county FOIL instructions are the submission route.

  • For a current county custody search or a narrowly identified booking-record request, start with the Niagara County record guide and then use the Sheriff's roster or records line as appropriate.
  • For a warrant-list question, consult the official Sheriff warrant page described on Wanted Fugitives or call the warrants unit at 716-438-3344. A public listing does not prove a person is currently in custody.
  • For a final case result or a sealing question, use the responsible court. New York CPL 160.50 and CPL 160.59 can affect access to a record.
  • For a person serving a state correctional sentence, use the New York DOCCS incarcerated-individual lookup. Its result is separate from the county jail roster.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the Bureau of Prisons locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator, as applicable.
