Official Garrett County Contacts
The correct contact depends on whether the question concerns a published arrest card, present detention, a municipal incident, a court disposition, or later state custody.

Oakland, MD 21550
301-334-1911

No separate records-unit hours were verified in the project research. Call before visiting and ask the Sheriff’s Office to route a focused Maryland Public Information Act request to its Custodian of Records.
- For a booking photo, arrest-log entry, or defined historical record, start with the Sheriff’s Office and the county records guide.
- For current housing or release status, call the Detention Center. A historic arrest card does not prove present custody.
- For an Oakland municipal incident, contact Oakland Town Police at 301-334-2100; county booking records still belong with GCSO.
- For a court filing or disposition, use Maryland Case Search or the Garrett District Court directory.
- For an eligible state prisoner, use the Maryland DPSCS Incarcerated Individual Locator; federal and immigration custody use separate BOP and ICE locators.
- For a warrant concern, follow the safe verification routes on the Wanted Fugitives page.
