FOIL Requests for Warren County Booking Records

New York's Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law Sections 84 through 90, gives anyone the right to request government records. That includes 72 hour booking records from the Warren County Sheriff's Office. You do not need to be a resident of Warren County or state a reason for your request.

Send your FOIL request to the Warren County Sheriff's Office at 1400 State Route 9, Lake George, NY 12845. Include the person's name, approximate date of arrest, and any other identifying information. The agency has five business days to respond or acknowledge your request. Extensions are possible for complex requests. Denials must include a specific legal basis, and you can appeal. The DCJS FOIL page has more information about the process at the state level.

Correction Law Section 9 restricts some details about incarcerated individuals from being published on the internet. The booking record itself is subject to FOIL, but parts may be redacted in the copies you receive. This is not the same as the record being sealed. It just means certain identifying details might be blacked out for privacy reasons.

What Warren County 72 Hour Booking Records Show

A booking record from Warren County includes the person's full name, date of birth, and physical description. The charges at the time of booking are listed. So are the arresting agency, arrest date and time, and the booking number. Bail information is included if bail was set. The record notes which court the person is scheduled to appear in.

The booking record may also show holds from other agencies, such as parole violations or out-of-county warrants. Release status is documented too. If someone posted bail, was released on their own recognizance, or is being held without bail, that shows up in the record. This is a point-in-time document. Charges listed at booking can change later in the court process. The booking record itself does not get updated after the fact. For current case status, check with the Warren County Clerk or the court handling the matter.

Record Sealing and Warren County 72 Hour Booking

CPL Section 160.50 requires automatic sealing when a criminal case is dismissed or the person is acquitted. If someone was booked in Warren County and the charges were dropped, that 72 hour booking record gets sealed. It disappears from public search results. This is automatic and does not require the person to take any action.

CPL Section 160.59 provides a path for people with certain convictions to apply for sealing after completing their sentence. The person must file a motion with the court. If the judge approves, the booking record and all related records are sealed from public view. Youthful offender cases are confidential under CPL Section 720.35 from the start. The 2020 repeal of Civil Rights Law Section 50-a opened police disciplinary files to FOIL, but booking records were already subject to public access under FOIL before that change. The sealing provisions under the CPL are the main limits on accessing older Warren County booking records.

The Warren County Sheriff's Corrections page provides information about the county correctional facility and how to contact them.

This is a useful starting point if you need to reach the Warren County corrections division about a recent 72 hour booking or inmate status.
