Where to Route a Clinton County Record Question

For local jail custody, start with the Clinton County Sheriff's Office and Jail, 25 McCarthy Drive, Plattsburgh, NY 12901. Sheriff David N. Favro's main office number is 518-565-4300. The corrections line is 518-565-4343, and the booking office number listed for bail booking-number questions is 518-565-4351. Administration hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM; patrol and jail operations run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

For county court records and filings, the Clinton County Government Center is at 137 Margaret Street, Plattsburgh, NY 12901. County Clerk Brandi B. Lloyd can be reached at 518-565-4700. District Attorney Andrew J. Wylie's office can be reached at 518-565-4770. Sheriff's public-record requests use New York FOIL under Public Officers Law Article 6, including sections 87 and 89.

  • For someone held at Clinton County Jail, use jail inmate records, VINELink/New York VINE, MobilePatrol, or the corrections phone line.
  • For booking photos or related access limits, review jail roster mugshots and then use the Sheriff's FOIL route if the image is not publicly available.
  • For charges filed after a local arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, the County Clerk, the court clerk, or the District Attorney as appropriate.
  • For facility-specific basics, use the facility pages linked below for Clinton County Jail, Clinton Correctional Facility, and Altona Correctional Facility.
  • For a sentenced New York state prisoner, use the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision incarcerated lookup, not the county jail route.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the Bureau of Prisons inmate locator, U.S. Marshals case channels, or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
