Official Records Contacts

Shenandoah County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, post bond, arrange a visit, or obtain official booking records. For those matters, contact the agency that holds the record.

Choose the Custodian That Holds the Record

Shenandoah County uses RSW Regional Jail for regional custody. An arresting agency, the jail, and a court can each hold different records. Virginia FOIA, Va. Code ยง 2.2-3704, requires a timely response from the appropriate public custodian to a reasonably specific request, but it does not guarantee that every requested record or photo is releasable.

Shenandoah County Sheriff's Office

810 N Main St, Suite 1
Woodstock, VA 22664
Phone: (540) 459-6100
Email: sheriff@shencosheriff.com

The reviewed official source did not publish public office hours. Use this office for Sheriff-created records and agency-directed questions, not as a substitute for RSW's jail record custodian.

RSW Regional Jail Records Department

6601 Winchester Road
Front Royal, VA 22630
Records: (540) 622-5024

Use RSW Records for a narrowly described existing booking or incarceration record, including an existing booking photograph if releasable. No fixed public photo fee or records-office hours were identified in the reviewed materials, so ask for a written cost estimate and the jail's current request instructions.

Use the record type and custody stage to select the next step:

  • For current regional custody, start with the official RSW Inmate Locator. It is a current-custody tool, not a permanent county booking archive.
  • For a past booking record or an existing photo that is not shown in a live interface, contact RSW Records with the full name, known date of birth, approximate date, and the specific existing record sought.
  • For an adult case, hearing, charge context, or disposition, use Virginia Court Case Information and the appropriate Shenandoah court clerk for an official court record.
  • For an official Sheriff media release, use the Sheriff's Office. Releases are selected incident information, not a complete arrest or booking feed.
  • For a possible warrant, review the Wanted Fugitives guidance and contact the responsible agency or court directly. Do not approach anyone based on a listing.
  • For someone in Virginia state custody or supervision, use the Virginia Department of Corrections locator, which is distinct from RSW custody.
  • For a federal prisoner or immigration detainee, use the official BOP Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator only when that separate system applies.
