This privately owned site is not affiliated with a government office, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides services covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It is a public-resource guide for Brooke County and West Virginia, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
Nature of the Service
The site is a private guide to official record sources and outside tools. It holds no official custody or court record, cannot confirm a status, release a person, or file paperwork. Its function is to point visitors toward official Brooke County, WVDCR, court, and federal resources.
Pages may also direct a visitor to independently operated research tools. Those providers are separate services with their own terms and policies.

FCRA Limitations
This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not furnish consumer reports, credit reports, or screening services, and neither it nor its advertising partners offers a product for FCRA-covered decisions.

Third-Party Links
The site may link to jail searches, agency pages, court portals, public-record materials, legal resources, and outside search tools. A link does not endorse a destination or make this site responsible for that destination’s content, availability, or handling of data. Review the terms of each external service before using it.

The site is supplied on an “as is” and “as available” basis. It makes no promise concerning:
- The accuracy, completeness, or currency of information.
- Uninterrupted access to the site or an outside resource.
- Freedom from errors, defects, or security problems.
- The breadth or correctness of results supplied by a partner.
Custody and court information can change quickly. Nothing on this site is an official statement by the Brooke County Sheriff’s Office, WVDCR, a court, or another government body.
