The sheriff publishes no records-office hours or email address. ODRC requests should identify a specific existing release record or public Parole Board determination rather than a full institutional or supervision file. Ohio VINE can be reached at 1-800-770-0192 or by TTY at 1-866-847-1298; its official brochure states that operators are available around the clock.

  • For a released person or release entry, begin with the Paulding search and records path, then direct the request to the sheriff or court.
  • For post-release oversight, use the parole and probation contacts and read the individual ODRC APA office field.
  • For people who may have just left the jail, use the 24-hour release alternatives. Paulding has no official recent-release feed.
  • For a scheduled date or alert, compare the projected release date with the VINELink check.
  • For one custodian, use the county jail, ODRC, BOP, or ICE facility page listed below.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner, use the statewide Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction offender search.
  • For supported federal or immigration custody, use the BOP or ICE locator and the relevant court record.
