Official Offices and Records
For a current local custody question, call the Preble County Jail. Requests for an existing booking, movement, release, or booking-photo record go to the Sheriff's Office through its records-request instructions or online request form. The research did not identify published records-counter hours, so confirm access before an in-person visit.
