Use 911 for an immediate emergency. For an existing county record, use the county FOIL process rather than relying on a phone confirmation. The county says city and state police records should be requested directly from the City of Watertown or NYSP, and court files belong with the appropriate court.
- For booking records or a county photo request, follow the county records and custody route.
- For a possible warrant tied to a court or agency, use Sheriff's Most Wanted for the court and Sheriff routing distinctions.
- For a local report about a recent arrest, use the agency named in the story and verify it through the local news record path.
- For a City of Watertown arrest report, use the WPD Records Section or City FOIL route.
- For a state-sentenced person's location, use the NYS DOCCS incarcerated-individual lookup.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP or ICE locator that matches the person's custody system.
