Pulaski County Jail Mugshots
Pulaski County jail custody is searched through New River Valley Regional Jail, not a county-only sheriff roster. The official NRVRJ lookup and inspected results table did not display booking photos in the captured public results. The confirmed table fields were inmate name, booking number, permanent ID, date of birth, and release date. The lookup page says a row can be clicked for profile information, but the full public profile was not captured in a stable way during research. Because of that, Pulaski County jail mugshots should not be described as posted in the NRVRJ results view.
No official NRVRJ recent-bookings gallery, mugshot gallery, or daily booking-report PDF was located in the official pages inspected. Commercial mugshot pages are not part of the official Pulaski County or NRVRJ record path and should not be used as an official source. The more reliable route is to search the jail lookup first, identify the booking, then request an existing adult booking photograph from the record holder when the photo is not published online.
What is and isn't public: Adult booking photographs can be public records under Virginia FOIA, but NRVRJ public search results did not confirm online mugshots. Juvenile confidentiality, exemptions, redactions, and agency custody of the record can still limit release.
Find Pulaski County Mugshots
The first practical step is a custody search. If the person appears in NRVRJ, record the public identifiers before contacting an agency. The booking number and permanent ID help separate people with the same name and help the records holder locate the existing record. If the public profile later shows a photo, rely on the live official page. If only the table fields appear, use the request route instead of assuming the photo is online.
- Open the official NRVRJ inmate lookup.
- Search by name, date of birth if known, or a specific identifier such as booking number or permanent number.
- Use Include released inmates if the person may have bonded out, completed a short hold, or transferred.
- Record the booking number, permanent ID, date of birth, and release-date status from the official result.
- If no booking photo appears online, request the existing adult booking photograph from NRVRJ or the sheriff, depending on who holds the record.
- For court outcomes tied to the arrest, search court records rather than a mugshot page.
The official NRVRJ inmate lookup is the proper first check before requesting a Pulaski County booking photo.
The lookup confirms the identifier fields that can make a later FOIA request more precise.
Pulaski County Booking Photo Fields
A booking photo, when held by the jail or sheriff, is different from the fields confirmed in the NRVRJ results table. The captured public table did not show height, weight, charges, bond, housing, or photo fields. It did show enough information to identify the booking and make a focused request. That distinction keeps Pulaski County jail mugshots in the right records lane: the online search may help locate the booking, while FOIA may be needed for the image itself.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking Photo | Not confirmed in the inspected NRVRJ public results table. |
| Inmate Name | Name in the public roster result, useful for matching the requested record. |
| Booking Number | Booking-specific identifier that can be cited in a photo request. |
| Permanent ID | Person-level jail identifier that may help the record holder locate the booking history. |
| Date of Birth | MM/DD/YYYY field for separating similar names. |
| Release Date | Blank for current inmates in inspected rows and expected to show a date for released entries. |
Pulaski County Mugshot Law
Virginia's public-records framework is the main law source for Pulaski County booking photos. Va. Code § 2.2-3704 governs inspection and copying of public records by eligible requesters. Va. Code § 2.2-3706 governs law-enforcement and criminal records, including mandatory-release categories and limits. The Virginia FOIA Advisory Council's AO-06-11 states that adult booking photographs are public records subject to FOIA. That advisory opinion is the clearest official Virginia source found for adult mugshot access.
Key statutes and authority:
Va. Code § 2.2-3704 - sets the general public-records request process, timing, and copying rules.
Va. Code § 2.2-3706 - covers law-enforcement and criminal-record disclosure rules and limits.
Virginia FOIA Advisory Council AO-06-11 - states adult booking photographs are public records subject to FOIA.
Public record does not always mean posted online. A record can be public yet require a request, review, redaction, or referral to the correct agency. Juvenile records, criminal investigative file exemptions, safety concerns, and records held by a different office can change the result.
Request Pulaski County Booking Photos
If a Pulaski County booking photo is not visible through NRVRJ, request the existing adult booking photograph from the agency that maintains it. Start with NRVRJ for jail booking records. Use the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office for sheriff-held investigative or arrest-file records. A request should be narrow and specific. Broad requests are slower and easier to misroute.
- Search NRVRJ first and save the official booking number or permanent ID if shown.
- Identify the person by full name, date of birth if known, and booking date if known.
- Ask for the existing adult booking photograph or mugshot for that booking.
- Cite Virginia FOIA and AO-06-11 if useful, especially when the request is for an adult booking photograph.
- Send the request to NRVRJ at 108 Baker Road, Dublin, VA 24084, or call 540-643-2000 for current routing.
- For sheriff-held records, contact Pulaski County Sheriff's Office, 802 E Main Street, Pulaski, VA 24301, phone 540-980-7800.
NRVRJ has an official FOIA Statement page, but detailed rendered request instructions were not found beyond the disclosure heading. Calling the jail before sending a request can help confirm where the records officer wants the request routed.
Pulaski County Record Holders
The correct record holder depends on the record. NRVRJ is the first point for jail custody and booking records. The Pulaski County Sheriff's Office, led by Sheriff Michael W. Worrell, is the first point for sheriff-held law-enforcement records. The court clerk is the first point for case records and court orders. A booking photo request should not be sent only to a court clerk unless the desired record is part of a court file, because the original booking photograph is typically a jail or law-enforcement record.

Pulaski County Mugshot Retention
No official Pulaski County or NRVRJ public page located in research published a mugshot removal policy, a recent-bookings retention window, or a daily booking photo archive. The NRVRJ lookup can include released inmates when the checkbox is selected, but that does not prove a photo remains posted after release. Retention and public display are separate questions. Agencies may keep records under retention rules even when they do not post those records online.
A release date in the roster means the person is no longer shown as current custody in that result. It does not answer whether the booking photo exists, whether it can be released, or whether a later court order changed access to related records. For case outcomes, use the Virginia court portals and the Pulaski court clerks.
Pulaski County Mugshot Removal
Official Pulaski County and NRVRJ pages did not publish a special mugshot-removal policy. If charges were dismissed, amended, sealed, or expunged, the court record and Virginia expungement process control the official path. The source agency may need a court order or formal record-change process before changing access to a booking photograph. Paying a third-party site is not the same as correcting an official government record and is not an official Pulaski County process.
For court record access and expungement context, use the Pulaski County court record path rather than a mugshot search. The court records after jail arrest page explains the distinction between charges, convictions, sealed records, and expunged records.
Federal and ICE Mugshots
Federal and immigration custody searches are different from Pulaski County jail mugshots. The BOP inmate locator is a custody locator for federal inmates from 1982 to present, not a mugshot gallery. The ICE detainee locator is used for current ICE custody or CBP custody held more than 48 hours, not for public booking photos. NRVRJ's identifier search includes FBI Number and ICE Number options, but that only means those identifiers may be used if the person is in the NRVRJ database.
VADOC is also a separate system. A person sentenced from Pulaski County to state custody should be searched through the VADOC inmate and supervisee locator. State prison photo and family-service rules should not be substituted for NRVRJ rules, and NRVRJ rules should not be used for state inmates after transfer.
Pulaski County Official Sources
Commercial mugshot sites may appear in search results, but they were excluded from the research because they are not official Pulaski County, NRVRJ, court, VADOC, BOP, or ICE sources. An official search should rely on the jail lookup, the sheriff or jail records process, Virginia court portals, VADOC, BOP, ICE, or VINELink as appropriate. The goal is to verify the record with the office that holds it, not to treat a copied image as an official current record.
Note: A mugshot documents a booking event only; it does not prove a conviction or current custody.
