Official Records Contacts

The following routes match common requests to the office or system that can answer them:
- For a county booking record or photo, use the official lookup and records-request path, then contact EDSO Records.
- For a warrant self-check, review Most Wanted; EDSO requires the subject to appear at a records office with valid photo identification.
- For a recent incident or arrest, check EDSO Current Inmates and the selected daily Media Bulletins described on the home page.
- For custody or release status, use the current-inmate roster or EDSO's VINE notification service. Placerville Jail is (530) 621-6000, and South Lake Tahoe Jail is (530) 573-3030.
- For a city police report, start with Placerville Police or South Lake Tahoe Police. The jail booking record still belongs to EDSO.
- For a person serving a California state-prison sentence, use the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's CIRIS search.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the separate Federal Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator. Neither is an El Dorado County arrest-history source.
