Find the Right Gulf Office

Gulf County divides arrest, detention, and court records among separate custodians. No verified records hours or email were published for the Sheriff's Office, so call before visiting. The detention facility has its own contact because the county, not GCSO, operates the jail.

Use these routes according to the kind of help needed:

  • For a recent mugshot, current-custody check, booking file, or release record, begin with the Gulf County arrest and booking hub, then contact GCSO or the detention facility as directed.
  • For an active-warrant concern or a public wanted listing, follow the safe confirmation routes on the Most Wanted page.
  • For a Port St. Joe police report, contact Port St. Joe Police Department at 850-227-1414, option 3, or City Hall at 850-229-8261.
  • For a criminal case or final disposition, contact the Gulf County Clerk at 850-229-6112. The Port St. Joe office lists weekday hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern.
  • For a sentenced Florida state offender, use the Florida Department of Corrections offender search or contact FDC Central Records.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the official Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator. Neither is a Gulf County booking-photo source.
