This is a private reference site, not an Onondaga County office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, schedule a visit, or obtain an official booking record for you. For those actions, use the official office or facility contact below.

- FOIL requests: the county FOIL form at forms.ongov.net/foil-requests is the official route listed for the Sheriff's Office, District Attorney, 911/Emergency Communications, and Fire Investigations.
For common record searches, the fastest route depends on the type of information you need.
- For someone currently in an Onondaga County jail, start with jail inmate records and check both the Justice Center and Jamesville lookups when needed.
- For booking-photo questions, review jail roster mugshots and use FOIL when the image is not public online.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the New York court search options described there.
- For a facility-specific question, use the Patrick J. Corbett Justice Center or Jamesville Correctional Facility pages listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced New York state prisoner, use the New York State DOCCS incarcerated individual lookup instead of the county roster.
- For federal or immigration custody, check the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator because no local BOP or ICE facility was identified in Onondaga County.
