Questions about official Jackson County criminal records belong with the office that created or maintains the document. The contacts below route court files to the courthouse in Ripley, sheriff reports to the sheriff, custody questions to WVDCR, and city police reports to the proper department. This is a private reference, not a government records counter.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private site cannot retrieve official records, perform a fingerprint check, change agency data, or accept an expungement filing.

Use the custodian that matches the Jackson County record:

  • Circuit criminal files: Circuit Clerk, 100 Court Street, PO Box 427, Ripley, WV 25271; 304-373-2210; fax 304-372-6237
  • Magistrate records: Magistrate Clerk, 100 Court Street, PO Box 368, Ripley, WV 25271; 304-373-2313; fax 304-372-7155
  • Sheriff reports: Jackson County Sheriff, PO Box 106, Ripley, WV 25271; 304-373-2280; fax 304-372-5259. No separate counter hours were published

  • Ripley police reports: 375 South Church Street, Ripley; 304-372-4711; Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Court papers should go to the clerk rather than the sheriff. WVDCR holds booking and custody data, and the agency that wrote an incident report remains the proper report custodian.
