Questions about official Albany County criminal records belong with the office that created or keeps the file. The contacts below route court documents to the proper clerk, Sheriff material and county custody questions to the Sheriff, and personal statewide rap sheets to DCJS. This private site cannot receive a government request or release a record.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference site cannot retrieve a criminal record, perform an official check, correct a government file, or accept a New York record-sealing application. Those actions must go through the proper agency or court.
