This is not a government office. It cannot confirm custody or release, retrieve records, change a court file, or resolve a warrant. Use the responsible Luzerne County, city, state, federal, or court office for those matters.
Sheriff and Warrant Routing
The Luzerne County Sheriff’s Department is located at 200 North River Street, Courthouse Basement Level, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711. Its listed telephone number is 570-825-1651, and public hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., excluding holidays.
For a warrant or record-check routing question, the county directory lists Warrants / Record Checks at 570-825-1855. The issuing court or responsible office, rather than this resource, must address a person’s individual warrant status.
County Custody and Booking Records
The Luzerne County Correctional Facility lists Water Street, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711, and 570-829-7741. It is the correct starting point for a county custody-routing question. The facility page does not establish a public live photo roster.
For a specific county booking or correctional record, begin with the county’s Right-to-Know request route and direct the request to the appropriate Open Records Officer. State the person’s name, known date, originating agency, and the exact record sought. An agency may apply lawful redactions or exemptions.
Police and Court Records
An arresting department may hold the originating report even when county custody follows. Wilkes-Barre Police Records, Hazleton Police, and Kingston Borough’s Open Records Officer each maintain separate municipal processes. Direct a municipal report request to the agency that created it.
For a public case outcome, search the Pennsylvania UJS Case Search. Recent entries can be delayed, and restricted or limited-access matters may not appear. A docket, not an online mention, is the appropriate public path for checking disposition.
Urgent and Safety Matters
Call 911 for an emergency. The sheriff’s warrant pages direct tips about a wanted person to the designated law-enforcement channel; do not approach or attempt to detain anyone. A person who believes a warrant concerns them should contact the issuing court, a lawyer, or the responsible office.
