Find Broome County Jail Custody, Booking and Arrest Records Through Official Sources
For a Broome County Jail search, start with the Broome County Sheriff’s Office rather than a commercial mugshot directory. The Sheriff operates the county Correctional Facility and provides a dedicated Jail Inquiries option by telephone, while New York VINE can help users check and monitor qualifying custody-status changes.
Records Search
Court, Criminal, Marriage, Divorce, Property
Broome County does not currently present its Corrections Division page as a public gallery of inmate mugshots. A booking photograph can exist as part of jail processing without being openly displayed online. Use jail custody information first, then FOIL or the responsible police agency when you need a releasable arrest or booking record.
Which Broome County Record Do You Need?
A jail inquiry, booking photograph, Sheriff incident report and criminal court file answer different questions. Starting with the right source prevents a missing mugshot or a released inmate from being mistaken for a missing arrest.
Is the person in Broome County Jail now?
Call the Broome County Sheriff at 607-778-1911 and choose Option 2 for Jail Inquiries. Have the person’s full legal name and date of birth available when possible.
Sheriff contact information →Do you need release notification?
New York’s VINE system can provide custody-status and release notifications. Broome County’s District Attorney lists 1-888-846-3469 for VINE.
Broome County victim resources →Do you specifically need a booking photograph?
Do not assume a public mugshot will appear online. Broome County creates photographic records during jail admission, but public release depends on applicable New York records law and exemptions.
Booking-photo guidance →Do you need the arrest or incident report?
Use the Sheriff’s Records Division for records created by the Broome County Sheriff. For most other reports, submit a Broome County FOIL request.
Sheriff Records Division →What happened after the arrest?
Move to Broome County Court, Binghamton City Court or the responsible town/village court depending on where and how the case was filed.
Court-search guidance →Was the person transferred to NYS DOCCS?
Use New York State’s Incarcerated Individual Lookup when a person has moved from a county jail into state correctional custody.
NYS inmate lookup →How to Find Someone in Broome County Jail
The current Broome County Corrections page provides jail operations and family-service information but does not present a conventional searchable current-inmate roster on that page. The Sheriff instead publishes a direct Jail Inquiries telephone option.
Confirm this is Broome County, New York
The Sheriff’s Correctional Facility is in the Town of Dickinson at 155 Lt. VanWinkle Drive, with a Binghamton mailing address.
Gather identifying information
Use the person’s complete legal name and date of birth when known. If you have an arrest date, arresting agency, booking information or court paperwork, keep that available too.
Call the Sheriff’s main number
Dial 607-778-1911 and choose Option 2: Jail Inquiries. This is the current official routing published by the Sheriff.
Ask only for the custody information you need
Confirm whether the person is currently held and record any available identifying or case information that can help with your next search.
Use VINE when notifications matter
New York VINE can be used to check custody information and register for qualifying release or custody-status notifications.
Move to the court record for the case outcome
Jail status tells you where someone is held. The criminal court file is the better source for filed charges, appearances and later disposition.
Does Broome County Publish Jail Mugshots Online?
The Sheriff’s current Corrections Division page does not advertise a public mugshot gallery. That is an important distinction because commercial websites often imply that every county maintains a searchable booking-photo roster when the official agency may not do so.
Broome County’s correction-officer job description confirms that new admissions are fingerprinted and photographed as part of the jail-admission process. However, creation of a booking photograph does not automatically mean that the image must be published on the public website.
Booking photography is part of admission
Corrections staff prepare and maintain fingerprint and photographic records for jail admissions. Those records serve correctional and identification purposes.
FOIL access is a separate question
If you need a particular booking photograph, submit a sufficiently specific records request. Broome County can then determine whether the requested record is releasable under New York law.
For statewide distinctions between county jail, NYC custody and state prison records, see New York State Inmate Mugshots & Custody Search.
How to Check Recent Broome County Sheriff Arrests
The Broome County Sheriff currently publishes regular weekly arrest releases and individual news releases. These can help verify recent Sheriff activity, but the agency expressly warns that not all arrests or investigations are posted.
That means the Sheriff news page should not be treated as a complete countywide booking roster. An arrest by Binghamton Police, Endicott Police, Johnson City Police, Vestal Police, New York State Police or another agency may require a different records source.

Check the Sheriff’s News Releases page for current weekly arrest summaries and specific investigations.

Request the underlying police report from the agency that created it. The county FOIL office cannot provide municipal or New York State Police reports that it does not possess.

Broome County Sheriff’s Correctional Facility
The Sheriff’s Corrections Division currently operates a 536-bed direct-supervision correctional facility in the Town of Dickinson. The facility opened in 1996 and houses people committed to the Sheriff’s custody.

NYS county-jail directory →How to Pay Bail for a Broome County Jail Inmate
The Sheriff’s Corrections page links to its GovPayNet bail-payment instructions. The current county page lists Pay Location Code 1657 for cash bail payments processed through the service.

Broome County Sheriff’s Office
Attn: Records
155 Lt. VanWinkle Drive
Binghamton, NY 13905
Use FOIL when requesting reports other than the accident-report products that the Sheriff separately makes available through its current online provider.
How to Submit a Broome County FOIL Request
Broome County provides an online Freedom of Information Law request form. When requesting Sheriff information about a particular individual, the county specifically asks users to provide available dates of birth and a time frame.
If you omit a time period, the Sheriff may need to search records back to the individual’s date of birth, which the county warns can make the request take longer.
Identify the correct department
Select the Sheriff when you are requesting Sheriff-maintained records. Do not use Broome County FOIL to request a report created solely by Binghamton Police, another municipality or New York State Police.
Provide the person’s full name
Use the legal name associated with the arrest or report whenever possible.
Add date of birth
Broome County specifically requests DOB information for individuals named in Sheriff requests because it helps distinguish people with similar names.
Give a useful date range
Include the arrest date or a reasonable range such as a specific year rather than requesting an unlimited lifetime search unless that is genuinely necessary.
Describe the exact record
State whether you need an incident report, arrest-related record, booking-related record, photograph or another identifiable document.
Review the response or appeal instructions
Some records can be withheld or redacted under New York law. If access is denied, the response should provide information about the appeal process.
Current Broome County FOIL timing and costs
| Item | Current county guidance |
|---|---|
| Initial FOIL response | The county FAQ describes a response, denial or acknowledgement within about five business days. |

| Inspection without copies | The county states that records can be inspected without purchasing a copy where access is permitted. |
Where to Search Broome County Criminal Court Records
A jail record describes custody. It does not tell you the complete later outcome of the prosecution. Court jurisdiction depends on the offense and where the case began.

Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., excluding state holidays

New York Court Locator →When New York WebCrims Can Help
New York Courts provides WebCrims for criminal-case information in participating courts. Its public guidance describes WebCrims as a source for cases with future appearance dates in covered courts.
WebCrims is not a complete historical criminal-record database. New York Courts explains that it does not display warrants, finished cases or sealed cases in contexts where the service is available.
Good use
Checking an active case or upcoming appearance when the applicable court participates.

If the Person Was Transferred to New York State Prison
The Broome County Sheriff jail and New York State DOCCS are different custody systems. A person can disappear from local jail custody because they were released, transferred, sentenced to state custody or moved for another lawful reason.
New York’s official Incarcerated Individual Lookup covers people in the state’s DOCCS correctional facilities and supports searches using a DIN, NYSID or name with birth-year information.

Best Starting Point for a Broome County Jail Search
If the person may currently be in Broome County Jail, use the Sheriff’s official Jail Inquiries route at 607-778-1911, Option 2. Do not rely on a commercial website simply because it displays the words “Broome County mugshots.”
If you need a booking photograph or older Sheriff record, submit a specific FOIL request with the person’s name, DOB and a useful date range. For the actual outcome of the charges, move to the responsible New York criminal court. If the person has entered state-prison custody, switch to NYS DOCCS.
