King and Queen County Sheriff and Released Inmates

The King and Queen County Sheriff's Office is the lead law agency for the county. Phone: 804-785-7400. The Sheriff handles patrol, court security, civil paper service, the warrants division, the records desk, and 911 dispatch. The Sheriff is a constitutional officer, elected by the voters every four years. King and Queen County released inmates pass through the Sheriff's office and most are then sent to the Middle Peninsula Regional Security Center for housing.

Because the county is small and rural, the Sheriff is often the first and best stop for any release date or court date question. Staff can also point you to the right state portal for a name search. Mail to a current inmate must use the inmate name and ID at the regional jail.

Note: The county does not run a stand-alone jail page, so the Sheriff and the regional jail are the right tools for any King and Queen County released inmate question.
