Ocean County Busted Mugshots is a private reference service, not a government office. It cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, arrange a release, post bond, retrieve an official record, or answer for the sheriff, jail, police, prosecutor, or court. Contact the agency that controls the question.
Current Ocean County Jail Custody
For a current-custody question, contact Ocean County Department of Corrections. The department's inmate-information page is the official starting point for its lookup. A current jail result does not provide a final court disposition, and a person who has been released, transferred, or handled outside county custody may not appear.
Ocean County Department of Corrections
Justice Complex
114 Hooper Avenue
Toms River, NJ 08754
Jail information: (732) 929-2043
Official source: Ocean County Inmate Information
The 114 Hooper Avenue address is the Corrections and jail contact. It is distinct from the sheriff's records address at 120 Hooper Avenue. Use the correct destination so a custody question is not sent to an OPRA office.
Sheriff Records and OPRA Requests
For a specific sheriff-held record or an OPRA request, use the Ocean County Sheriff's Office records route. Describe the record narrowly, such as the person's name, approximate date, known agency, booking number if available, and the item requested. A records request does not guarantee release of every item; the custodian may request clarification or apply lawful redactions or exemptions.
Ocean County Sheriff's Office Records
120 Hooper Avenue
Toms River, NJ 08754-2191
Phone: (732) 929-2044
Email: OCSheriffOpraRequests@co.ocean.nj.us
Online form: Ocean County Sheriff OPRA request
Administrative source: Sheriff Administration
The county lists the sheriff's OPRA block with the 120 Hooper Avenue and P.O. Box 2191 mailing information. The Ocean County OPRA page provides county instructions and the official form is an alternative request route.
Case Outcomes and Court Records
A jail record or a police report does not establish the result of a case. For public case and judgment paths, begin with the NJ Courts search. The Ocean County Superior Court handles adult indictable criminal matters, while municipal matters can follow a municipal-court path. The court record is the appropriate source for later procedural events and a disposition.
Ocean County Superior Court Criminal Records Room
120 Hooper Avenue
Toms River, NJ 08753
Phone: (732) 929-4780
Criminal Division: (732) 504-0700, extension 64320
Records Requests: extension 64310
Ask the court clerk about the correct request type for the case. Confidential or nonpublic material may not be available through public access, and the presence of an initial charge does not show that the charge remained unchanged.
Municipal Police Record Directions
For a report created by a local police department, contact that department or its records custodian rather than the jail. Lakewood, Toms River, and Brick each maintain their own records routes. A municipal report request is separate from a sheriff booking-record request and from a court disposition search.
- Lakewood: Lakewood Police Central Records explains its report-request and identification process.
- Toms River: Toms River Police Records provides police-report directions and record contact details.
- Brick: Brick Police Administrative Services identifies the Records Bureau and OPRA dissemination route.
- State custody: Use the NJDOC Offender Search Engine for a person in state-prison custody, not the county jail line.
Wanted-List Information
For a non-emergency tip tied to the official wanted list, Ocean County Sheriff's Field Services is listed at (732) 929-2050. Local police are another official route for a tip. Do not approach or confront anyone. Field Services, a court clerk, or an attorney is the appropriate path for a question about a specific warrant; the jail line addresses current custody rather than a certified warrant search.
