Pike County Booking Reports

Pike County booking reports are maintained at the Pike County Correctional Facility in Milford. These records track each arrest and intake processed in the county. The public can access Pike County booking reports through online tools, phone calls, and written requests. Milford serves as the county seat and the center of law enforcement operations. Pennsylvania law supports open access to these records, and Pike County updates them on a regular basis.

How Pike County Booking Reports Are Created

When someone is arrested in Pike County, officers transport them to the Pike County Correctional Facility at 506 Broad Street in Milford. Staff at the facility begin the intake process right away. This includes gathering personal details such as name, date of birth, and home address. The process runs at all hours, every day of the year.

Fingerprints are scanned through the LiveScan system and sent to state and federal databases for matching. A mugshot is taken from two angles. Medical staff screen the person for any health concerns or current needs. Personal items are logged and stored in a secure area. Officers check for open warrants through NCIC and JNET. Charges are entered with references to the applicable Pennsylvania criminal statutes. Bail or bond terms are then set based on the charges. All of this data becomes part of the Pike County booking report, which stays on file as a public record.

Local police, the Pike County Sheriff's Office, and the Pennsylvania State Police Blooming Grove station all bring arrested individuals to this one location. The State Police can be reached at 570-226-5718 for law enforcement questions in the Pike County area.

Note: Booking reports show charges at intake and do not prove guilt or reflect a final court ruling.

A booking report is one piece of a broader criminal record. The Criminal History Record Information Act under 18 Pa.C.S. § 9101 controls how criminal history data is stored and shared across Pennsylvania.

Qualifying misdemeanors and summary offenses may be sealed under this law. Once sealed, those Pike County booking reports no longer appear in public record searches. Only law enforcement and a few authorized agencies retain access.

Juvenile records follow separate rules under 42 Pa.C.S. § 6308. Records for minors are generally private. They do not appear on the Pike County jail roster or in standard public searches.
