Use the Monroe County Source That Matches the Question
The Sheriff publishes several jail reports because one document cannot answer every question. Use the roster for a fast name check, the census for custody and bail detail, and the received or released reports for recent movement.
Roster, census, received and released reports are linked from the Sheriff’s incarcerated-individual page.

This local browser tool collects no names, dates of birth or case numbers. It simply routes you to the correct official page.
Common Monroe County Arrest-Record Tasks
Use the browser’s Find function and search the surname before trying the complete name.
Use the census when you need custody, bail or bond, charges and court-date fields.
Use these reports when the person entered or left custody recently and the roster alone is unclear.
Use WebCrims, the handling court or a Certificate of Disposition to verify what happened in court.
Confirm the MCJ number and current facility before creating accounts, paying fees or mailing items.
Contact the Public Defender, assigned-counsel system, District Attorney victim staff or VINE as appropriate.
How to Search the Monroe County Jail Roster and Census
The Sheriff links four downloadable reports from one official page. They are generally updated on weekdays, so note the report date before relying on a result.
Use the official page that links the roster, census, received and released reports.
Use the roster for a quick name check, census for detail, received for recent intake and released for recent release.
On desktop press Ctrl+F or Command+F. On mobile, use the PDF viewer’s search option.
A surname-only search is less likely to miss an entry filed with a middle name or spelling variation.
Use these identifiers when calling, sending mail, paying bail or checking another report.
A jail report shows custody information, not the final criminal-case disposition.
Official report | Best use | Typical fields | Next action |
|---|---|---|---|
Fast current-name check | MCJ number, last name, first name and entry date | Open the census when more custody or bail detail is needed | |
Detailed custody review | Custody, bail or bond, charges, court and appearance information | Confirm changing details with the jail or court | |
Recent jail intake | People recently received into custody | Check the current roster or census after intake processing | |
Recent release check | People recently released from the jail | Check the court case, VINE or state custody if status remains unclear |
Confirm that the record belongs to the correct person
- Compare the full legal name.
- Confirm the MCJ number.
- Check the date of entry.
- Compare age or date of birth when available.
- Review the listed court.
- Check the charge description.
- Confirm current custody.
- Compare the case number or court date.
How to Verify and Pay Bail for a Monroe County Jail Case
The Sheriff provides separate online bail routes for Town or Village Court, County Court and Family Court matters. Confirm the court and case details before paying.
Do not begin from an advertisement or a payment link sent by an unknown caller.
Prepare the defendant’s name, date of birth, Jail ID, court or judge, case number, charges and cash-bail amount.
The Sheriff’s bail page directs users to call 585-753-4182 to verify the information.
Choose the Town or Village, County Court or Family Court link that matches the case.
Record the transaction number and retain any payment documentation.
Payment of one bail does not necessarily remove another warrant, detainer or court restriction.
How to Find a Rochester Criminal Court Date or Official Case Outcome
Use the court that actually handled the case. Rochester City Court, Monroe County Court, the County Clerk and the statewide Criminal History Record Search serve different purposes.
Official source | Use it for | Important limit | Contact or next step |
|---|---|---|---|
Future appearances in participating New York criminal courts | Not a complete criminal-history report | Confirm the court and appearance information | |
Rochester City Court criminal matters | Does not replace County Court or another local court | 150 S. Plymouth Ave; 585-371-3413; weekdays 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. | |
County-level criminal cases and felony matters | The case may originate in another court | 99 Exchange Blvd; 585-371-3758; weekdays 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. | |
Filed Monroe County felony conviction records | City, town and federal matters are not all filed there; sealed records are restricted | Request the needed record or certificate from the proper office | |
Statewide name-and-date-of-birth exact-match court search | Current listed fee is $95; no sealed, federal, family or civil records | Use only when a formal statewide court search is needed |
Micro-steps for checking a court date
Use the detailed census or booking information as the starting point.
Use the legal name and confirm that the result points to the correct court.
Have the name, date of birth, case number and scheduled date ready.
The certificate is a sealed court document stating how the case ended.

Use the census, WebCrims or case paperwork to determine where the case was handled.
This sealed court document states the official outcome of the criminal case.
Check the name, date of birth, case number, charge and disposition.
Eligibility and procedure depend on the case and New York law.
Private databases or agencies may request an official disposition or sealing order.
