Official DeKalb Records Contacts
The DeKalb County Sheriff's Office and Detention Center are at 2801 Jordan Road SW, Fort Payne, AL 35968. Public office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Call 256-845-3801 for the sheriff's 24-hour non-emergency line or 256-845-8565 for the jail. The sheriff publishes no separate records-unit number, fixed booking-photo fee, or response deadline, so ask the office to confirm the process, cost, and delivery options.
- For a current booking photograph, release timestamp, or recent arrest, start with the official roster paths explained on the DeKalb County home page.
- For a possible warrant, call the sheriff or DeKalb Circuit Clerk at 256-845-8525; the county has no verified public warrant portal.
- For a court result or copy, contact the clerk at 300 Grand Avenue South, Suite 200, Fort Payne, during weekday public hours.
- For a Fort Payne, Rainsville, or Henagar police report, contact that city's police department; the county jail remains the booking-photo custodian.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search, not the county roster.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the appropriate Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator; neither is a DeKalb booking-photo archive.
