Where to Ask First
Lancaster County records are split by custody, court, prosecution, and public-record type. Start with the jail for current custody, UJS or the Clerk of Courts for filed criminal cases, the District Attorney for DA records, and the state or federal locator when the person is no longer in county custody.

Records and Warrants
County Right-to-Know requests generally go to the county open-records process unless the record belongs to the DA or court. DA requests use the DA RTK Open Records Officer at 50 N. Duke Street, Lancaster, PA 17608, email dartk@lancastercountypa.gov. Court records may use UJS, the Clerk of Courts, or the Lancaster County court Rule 509 route. Sheriff Christopher R. Leppler's office is a warrant and fugitive channel, but warrant questions may still need the issuing Magisterial District Court or the District Court Warrant Control Unit at 717-723-4929, press 0.
