Where to Ask About Custody or Records
For a current county custody question, start with the official inmate search or the Allegany County Detention Center. The research sources did not publish separate records-unit hours, so call before traveling.
Allegany County Detention Center14300 McMullen Highway, SW
Cumberland, MD 21502
Phone: 301-729-8540
The Allegany County Sheriff’s Office is another official contact for sheriff-created records and custodian questions.
Allegany County Sheriff’s Office695 Kelly Road
Cumberland, MD 21502
Patrol/Judicial: 301-777-1585
General number listed by the Maryland Manual: 301-777-5959
Published records hours: not stated; call first.
Use the source that matches the record or custody stage:
- For a booking record or photo, use the county hub’s official roster and request path, then contact the Sheriff’s Office or the police agency that created the record.
- For a warrant question, contact the Sheriff’s Patrol/Judicial division or the court. Do not treat a web search as warrant clearance.
- For a very recent arrest, check the official current-inmate roster, then call the detention center or arresting agency if the person is not listed.
- For release or transfer alerts, use Maryland VINELink or the Sheriff app, while confirming urgent facts with the holding agency.
- For a Cumberland, Frostburg, or Westernport police record, contact that municipal department rather than the county’s general information-request office.
- For eligible sentenced state custody, use the Maryland DPSCS Incarcerated Individual Locator.
- For federal prison or immigration custody, use the official federal Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator because neither is covered by the county roster.
