Official Cecil County Contacts
The Cecil County Sheriff's Office is at 107 Chesapeake Boulevard, Suite 112, Elkton, MD 21921, and its main number is 410-996-5500. The Cecil County Detention Center, 500 Landing Lane in Elkton, answers facility and custody questions at 410-996-5800. Sheriff's Central Records accepts written requests and lists public-record hours Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.; records questions go to 410-392-2159 or recordsccso@cecilsheriffmd.gov. Choose the office by the kind of information needed:
- For a booking record or photo question, use the county arrest and records path, then send a focused written request to Central Records.
- For current local custody, use Maryland VINE through the Detention Center's Find an Inmate link or call the facility.
- For a newly reported arrest, compare VINE with the arresting agency's report route because Cecil County publishes no complete same-day list.
- For a court charge or outcome, use Maryland Judiciary Case Search and then the appropriate clerk for the actual file.
- For a person serving a state sentence, use the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services locator.
- For federal custody, use the Bureau of Prisons locator; immigration detention is covered by the separate ICE detainee locator.
