Nebraska public-records requests are governed by Neb. Rev. Stat. sections 84-712 through 84-712.09, with response timing addressed in section 84-712.03. When asking for a jail or booking record, include the person's full name, date of birth if known, booking or arrest date, arresting agency, and case or citation number if you have it.
- For a person believed to be in local jail custody, use the jail inmate records guide and then confirm with Valley County Jail.
- For booking photos, use the jail roster mugshots page and verify any image or listing with the jail.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and contact Garfield County Court when the case is local.
- For facility address, mail, and visitation context, use the Valley County Jail page linked in the footer.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, search the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services incarceration-records locator.
- For a federal prisoner or immigration detainee, use the federal BOP locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System instead of the county jail path.
