This is a private reference service, not a government office. It cannot verify custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve official booking records. Direct those requests to the government office that maintains the record.
Cherry County Record Routing
For a Cherry County booking, custody, or public-records request, start with the office that owns the record. The county has not published a public online roster, so a call can help identify the right custodian before a written request is submitted.
Cherry County Sheriff’s Office
365 N Main Street #9
Valentine, NE 69201
402-376-1890
Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–12:00 p.m. and 1:00–4:30 p.m.
Cherry County Justice Center
365 N Main Street #13
Valentine, NE 69201
402-376-1890
Use the county’s public-records entry point and its form for a bounded request for existing county-held material. Ask separately for a booking log and any existing, releasable identification photo.
- For an arrest report or booking record, begin with the full records path on the home page.
- For a warrant question, use the official confirmation route described under Most Wanted Fugitives.
- For a recent Valentine Police report, confirm whether the city department or the Sheriff/Justice Center is the actual custodian.
- For a court case after booking, call County Court at 402-376-2590 or the District Court Clerk at 402-376-1840.
- For a person in state-sentenced custody, begin with the NDCS Incarceration Record Search.
- For a federal or immigration custody question, use the responsible federal locator rather than a county booking request.
