Questions about an official Carbon County criminal record belong with the public office that maintains it. Court cases, police reports, local custody files, and Pennsylvania repository checks each follow a separate route. The contacts below direct those requests to the Clerk of Courts in Jim Thorpe, the Carbon County Correctional Facility in Nesquehoning, the arresting police agency, or Pennsylvania State Police.

This Is Not a Government Office. Carbon County Criminal History is a private reference. It cannot retrieve, correct, seal, or certify a record, perform an official check, or accept a court filing.

Need an Official Record?

Use the channel tied to the record's source. Carbon County and Pennsylvania offices divide responsibility as follows:

  • Common Pleas criminal files and expungement filings: Carbon County Clerk of Courts, P.O. Box 107, Jim Thorpe, PA 18229; 570-325-3637; weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
  • Current local custody and booking questions: Carbon County Correctional Facility, 331 Broad Street, Nesquehoning, PA 18240; 570-325-2211.
  • Preliminary cases, bail, and MDJ records: contact the correct Carbon County magisterial district court based on the municipality where the case began.
  • Police incident and arrest reports: contact the arresting police department or Pennsylvania State Police station. The Sheriff's Office does not hold every municipal arrest narrative.
  • Pennsylvania criminal-history checks: use the Pennsylvania State Police Central Repository and PATCH. A person seeking the complete personal record, including non-convictions, uses the mail-only Access and Review process.
  • County sheriff functions and bench warrants: Carbon County Sheriff, P.O. Box 147, Jim Thorpe, PA 18229; 570-325-2821; weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The Clerk maintains Common Pleas criminal cases from filing through final disposition. The facility answers custody questions, while the arresting agency owns its police narrative. Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law requests may not compel release of criminal investigative material, so identify the exact record and ask the agency whether segregable public portions exist.
