Pershing County Jail Overview
The official local jail name is best treated as Pershing County Jail / Pershing County Sheriff's Office Detention because the county does not publish a separate jail page with a stand-alone brand name. The Pershing County Sheriff's Office says the office is responsible for the professional care and custody of people confined in the jail, court security, and prompt crime investigation. Sheriff Jerry Allen is named on the official sheriff page. The facility is local detention, so it is the first place to check for a new Pershing County arrest before looking at state or federal systems.
The sheriff's office is at 395 9th St., Lovelock, NV 89419, with mailing at P.O. Box 147, Lovelock, NV 89419. The main phone is (775) 273-2641 and the fax is (775) 273-5052. Official local sources did not publish a jail bed count, housing-unit list, classification chart, public lobby schedule, booking desk number, or detailed detention bureau page. That gap matters. It means a Pershing County Jail custody check should be framed as a set of official channels instead of a promise that one public web roster has every field.
The official sheriff page is the source for the jail custody role, sheriff contact information, forms, OffenderWatch, the app banner, and the Nevada S.A.V.E. reference.
Pershing County Jail Inmate Lookup
No official browser-based Pershing County Jail roster was located on the county website or the sheriff page. The county does, however, advertise an official mobile app with an Inmate Search feature. The Pershing Sheriff, NV app page lists Sheriff's Welcome, FAQs, Join Our Team, Most Wanted, Inmate Search, Sex Offenders, Contact Us, Submit a Tip, Social Media, and more. The OCV app landing page points users to the mobile app store links.
The app is important because it appears to carry the official digital inmate search that the public website does not expose. The browser page does not show app search fields, sample results, mugshot behavior, refresh frequency, or release retention. Do not infer those details. If the app does not answer the custody question, call the sheriff's office and then use the public records form when a record, report, or booking image is needed.
- Start with the official Pershing Sheriff, NV mobile app and use the advertised Inmate Search feature if mobile access is available.
- Call the sheriff's office at (775) 273-2641 with the person's full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, and arresting agency.
- Ask whether the person is currently held, recently released, transferred, or not found in county custody.
- Use the sheriff public records request form if written booking records, reports, or public jail records are needed.
- Search NDOC only if the person has been sentenced or transferred to Nevada state prison custody.
The county app page is the official source showing Inmate Search as an app feature for Pershing County Jail users.
Pershing County Jail Search Channels
Pershing County Jail custody records can involve several systems. The sheriff app and sheriff phone line are local jail channels. The public records request process is the written fallback for booking records, arrest reports, public portions of incident reports, logs, and booking-photo requests, subject to Nevada law. Nevada S.A.V.E. is a custody notification channel, not the source record for booking facts. NDOC is a sentenced state-prison locator. BOP and ICE are federal systems, not county jail rosters.
| Channel | Use It For | Important Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Pershing Sheriff, NV app | Advertised Inmate Search and Most Wanted features | Browser research did not show app fields or sample records |
| Sheriff phone | Present custody, release, transfer, and records questions | No separate booking desk number was published |
| Public records request | Booking records, reports, mugshot requests, and logs | Redaction, denial, timing, and fees may apply |
| Nevada S.A.V.E. | Custody notification and release or transfer alerts | Not the official booking record |
| NDOC offender search | Sentenced Nevada state prisoners, including LCC | Not for most fresh county jail arrests |
A person arrested in Pershing County may be booked locally, released, moved to court, held on another agency's request, or later transferred after sentencing. The Pershing County jail inmate records page covers the broader roster and records-request pathway for current and past county custody records.
Pershing County Jail Contact
Use the sheriff's office contact for local jail custody questions because official sources did not publish a separate public jail information line. For in-person custody or records questions, bring photo identification and enough details to distinguish the person from others with similar names. Staff availability, security rules, and public-records processing may affect what can be answered at the counter.
Pershing County Jail / Sheriff's Office Detention
395 9th St.
Lovelock, NV 89419
Mailing: P.O. Box 147, Lovelock, NV 89419
(775) 273-2641
Fax: (775) 273-5052
Lake Township Justice Court is nearby at the Pershing County Courthouse lower level, 400 Main St., P.O. Box 8, Lovelock, NV 89419, phone (775) 273-2753. Court contact is useful after booking because first appearance, probable-cause review, bond, and charge status are court matters, not just jail matters.
Pershing County Jail Records Requests
The Pershing County Sheriff's Office public records request form is the official fallback when the app or phone line is not enough. The form asks for requester contact fields, a description of the records requested, format choices such as paper, electronic, certified copy, or in-person inspection, and delivery choices such as pickup, USPS, or email when the format allows. Office-use fields track status, estimates, received and acknowledgment dates, filled or denied dates, payments, and notes.
Requests should identify the person by full name, date of birth if known, date and time of arrest or booking, incident or case number if known, and the exact item requested. Useful terms include booking record, arrest report, public portion of incident report, jail log entry, booking image, or mugshot. Nevada public records law allows access to public records but also allows confidentiality, redaction, and denial when a specific law applies.
| Fee Item | Amount Listed |
|---|---|
| Research or data compiling | $25 per hour |
| Inspection | $25 per hour |
| Crime, crash, or coroner report | $15 each |
| Photo CD/DVD | $10 each |
| Photo print 8x10 | $10 each |
| Video redaction | $40 per hour |
The sheriff's public records request form is the route for written jail records that are not published as a web roster.
Pershing County Jail Visiting
Official local sources did not publish a Pershing County Jail visitation schedule, video visitation vendor, dress code, child-visitor rule, attorney-visit rule, holiday schedule, or lockdown notice process. The safe rule is to call the sheriff's office before any visit. Do not rely on a private jail-info site for local visit times or provider names because the county research did not confirm them.
| Topic | Published Local Status | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visits | No official schedule located | Call (775) 273-2641 before traveling |
| Video visits | No official vendor located | Ask the sheriff before creating any account |
| Visitor ID | No jail-specific list located | Bring government-issued photo ID |
| Parking and entry | No visitor parking rules located | Confirm entry and avoid secured areas |
Rural travel makes confirmation important. Pershing County includes long distances outside Lovelock, and the sheriff page does not promise that visiting is available at all times.
Pershing County Jail Mail and Money
No official local mail rules, inmate money procedure, phone provider, tablet vendor, video vendor, commissary vendor, property-release rule, or deposit fee schedule was located for Pershing County Jail. Mail and funds can be rejected or delayed when an agency uses a specific format, vendor, inmate ID, or sender rule. Call the sheriff before mailing letters, sending property, or using any third-party deposit website.
| Service | Official Pershing County Jail Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail address | Jail-specific inmate mail format not published; call before sending |
| Phone calls | No local jail phone vendor published |
| Money deposit | No commissary or deposit provider published |
| Property | No public property-release rule located |
Published NDOC banking and phone rules do not apply to ordinary Pershing County Jail detainees. They apply to sentenced Nevada state prisoners in NDOC custody, including people at Lovelock Correctional Center.
Pershing County Jail Booking
Pershing County did not publish a booking-process page, roster refresh rate, new-booking delay, property list, phone-call timing, classification policy, or medical-screening policy. Local court pages still describe the early case path. Lake Township Justice Court reviews probable-cause determinations for arrested people within 48 hours, arraignments or advisements occur within 72 hours, and felony or gross misdemeanor preliminary examinations occur within 15 days from arraignment or advisement.
Booking is administrative intake after arrest. It may include identity checks, fingerprints, a booking photo, property inventory, medical screening, charge basis, arresting agency, and custody status. Those items may exist in the underlying jail record even when they are not displayed on a public web roster. Court charges may later differ from booking charges because the district attorney decides what to file.
- Booking
- Initial jail processing after arrest.
- Probable-cause review
- Court review of whether detention is legally supported.
- Detainer
- A hold request from another agency that may delay release.
- Remand
- A court order returning a person to custody.
Pershing County Jail Population
Official county jail numbers are a documented research gap. No Pershing County sheriff dashboard, current jail count, rated jail capacity, average daily population, annual booking total, average length of stay, or demographic breakdown was located in official local sources. The page should not compare Pershing County Jail population to capacity because the county did not publish a source number for either point.
Pershing County has a separate state prison population at Lovelock Correctional Center, but that is not the local jail count. The county community resources page lists LCC with 1,680 people, and NDOC lists LCC capacity at approximately 1,680 offenders. Those figures help explain Pershing County inmate population context, but they should not be treated as sheriff jail capacity.
Pershing County Jail Programs
Official jail program information is limited. The sheriff page did not publish GED, substance abuse, medical, mental-health, religious services, grievance, tablet, or reentry programming details for county jail inmates. One local program clue is the county's Request for Inmate Labor form. It allows organizations to request inmate work by listing project details, work type, location, dates and times, equipment, personal protective equipment, supervision, sergeant recommendation, cost estimate, sheriff signature, and approval status.
That form supports the existence of sheriff-managed inmate labor under local control, but it does not publish family-facing eligibility rules. Do not assume that a pretrial detainee, a person held on bail, or any specific inmate can join a work program. The records source notes that local code concepts include trustee, volunteer, and required work programs, subject to screening, credits, and policy approval.
Note: Confirm custody, visiting, mail, and money rules with the sheriff before driving to Lovelock or sending funds.
