If the arrest was recent
Start with the statewide custody system
Vermont uses a unified state correctional system rather than separate county sheriff jails. Start with the statewide custody locator or notification service linked here. A person arrested very recently may still be with the arresting police agency before transfer; contact that agency if no record appears.
Vermont DOC custody and community-supervision status information after DOC intake. Police station holding or another agency’s custody before DOC intake must be checked with that agency. A local arrest does not establish DOC intake.
Vermont DOC / VINE status assistance — 866-976-8267
After DOC intake is confirmed, call 866-976-8267 for status information or use the official DOC custody locator. Confirm present custody and location; facility-to-facility and out-to-court transfer notifications were discontinued in August 2025.
Published DOC status assistance, verified from a recent full official page copy. Direct page access was blocked during review. No answered call, individual record or notification delivery was tested.
Find the responsible local agency
Official government agency/contact directory. It is not a person-search tool.
Find the county/agency, then use its published jail or custody-assistance instructions.
Local source reviewed 2026-10-06. This is published phone assistance; the number was not called.
If nothing appears, contact the arresting agency or the responsible jail to ask how to confirm booking. A missing record does not prove release, and an agency may limit what it can disclose.
