Delaware County Criminal Records

A useful Delaware County records search depends on matching the record to the right custodian. Use the questions below for a fast orientation, then follow the linked court, jail, police, and statewide sources for the authoritative record. The county seat is Delaware, and the county has about 242,000 residents (2025 estimate). Offices and online systems change, so confirm details with the agency before relying on a record.

Delaware County court and felony records

The Delaware County Clerk of Courts maintains Common Pleas criminal filings and records. The Clerk's office is at 117 North Union Street, Level 300, Delaware, Ohio 43015; call 740-833-2500. The Common Pleas criminal division is at Level 500 and lists 740-833-2530 and 740-833-2550. Start at the official Clerk site for current case-search and records-request instructions instead of hard-coding a deep docket URL.

Municipal courts and other local systems

Delaware Municipal Court is the county's primary municipal-court source and serves countywide municipal-court jurisdiction. Its address is 70 North Union Street, Delaware, Ohio; criminal and traffic questions are listed at 740-203-1570 and administration at 740-203-1550. Sunbury Mayor's Court is a separate village court. Powell does not operate a separate municipal court; the city points residents to its Police Department resources and links page. Confirm the filing court before relying on a search result.

Delaware County custody and jail information

The Delaware County Sheriff inmate page is the official starting point for current county custody information. The corrections facility is at 844 US Highway 42 North, Delaware, Ohio; corrections questions are listed at 740-833-2840. A jail or inmate page is a current-custody source, not a complete historical arrest record or conviction database, and booking does not establish guilt.

Police records and public-record requests

For Delaware Police records, use the City's Police Services and Programs page; the department lists 740-203-1100 and policerecords@delawareohio.net for police-record questions. Powell and Sunbury records should be requested from the agency that created the report, using each city's current public-records instructions.

Ohio state-level record sources

The Ohio DRC Offender Search is separate from Delaware County jail and local court records. It covers people in state custody or under state supervision. Ohio BCI is also separate and restricted; use the Attorney General's BCI page and WebCheck information. BCI is not an unrestricted public name-search database.

Local cities and separate court systems

Delaware is the first city-page candidate because it is the county seat and has the Clerk, Common Pleas Court, Municipal Court, Sheriff, jail, and police records sources. Powell is the next candidate, followed by Sunbury because its Mayor's Court is a distinct local court source.

Official Delaware County and Ohio record sources

For official Delaware County sources, start with the Clerk of Courts for Common Pleas records and the Sheriff inmate page for current custody information. Delaware Municipal Court and Sunbury Mayor's Court are separate local sources.
