Beaver County Quick Facts
Finding Beaver County Inmate Population Records
Searching for someone in the Beaver County inmate population starts with identifying which system covers their situation. Pre-trial detainees and those serving county sentences are held at the Beaver County Jail. The county website at beavercountypa.gov provides information on the jail roster, visitation schedules, and inmate services. State-sentenced inmates from Beaver County are tracked through the PADOC system and do not appear in the county jail roster.
For state inmates, use the Pennsylvania Official Inmate Locator. This tool is updated daily and covers more than 36,000 men and women held in 24 state facilities. No login is required. Enter a last name or inmate number to begin your search. The committing county filter allows you to select Beaver County specifically, so results are limited to people whose crimes originated there. This is the fastest way to find Beaver County inmates who have been transferred to state custody.
The state locator and the county jail roster serve different populations. Neither system will show records from the other. Keep this in mind when your initial search returns no results. Checking both systems covers the full Beaver County inmate population across state and county custody.
Note: Individuals held in federal custody are not searchable through either the county or state systems. See the federal inmate section below for BOP search instructions.
