Official Tazewell Record Routes

Use the custodian that matches the record. An arresting agency's record, a regional-jail booking file, and a later court disposition can be held by different bodies.

  • Sheriff-created records and county law-enforcement routing: Tazewell County Sheriff's Office, Sheriff Brian Hieatt, 140 School Street, Suite 3, Tazewell, VA 24651. The published non-emergency number is 988-0902; administration is (276) 988-5970.
  • Current facility questions and jail context: Southwest Virginia Regional Jail Authority Tazewell Facility, 115 Court Street, Tazewell, VA 24651, (276) 582-0650. Current-custody information and a regional booking record are not the same request.
  • Booking record or adult routine intake-photo request: SWVRJA's published FOIA policy lists Lt. Jeannie Patrick, P.O. Box 279, Meadowview, VA 24361, (276) 739-3527, fax (276) 739-3534, and jpatrick@swvrja.com. Because that published policy is older, confirm the current routing before sending a request.
  • County-held public records: the County FOIA policy lists C. Eric Young, 197 Main Street, Tazewell, VA 24651, (276) 385-1208, eric.young@tazewellcounty.org, with listed hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. See the published County FOIA policy for the agency's current request information.
  • Court outcome after booking: use Virginia OCIS for the available adult court record, then the appropriate local court or clerk for official disposition routing. A roster result or booked charge does not establish a court outcome.
  • Finding the appropriate path: the home guide separates current regional custody, a booking-record request, and later state or federal custody. Most Wanted explains the limited official wanted-person resources and is not a warrant-confirmation service.
