Walton County arrest information is divided by record type and custody stage. For county jail questions, contact the Walton County Sheriff’s Office Main Operations at 10 Sheriff Circle, DeFuniak Springs, FL 32433. The non-emergency number is 850-892-8111, and the Walton County Jail number is 850-892-8196. Public-record walk-in requests are accepted at 37 S. 10th Street and 10 Sheriff Circle in DeFuniak Springs, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding holidays.
WCSO accepts requests through its JustFOIA public portal and may issue a fee estimate when a charge applies. It does not publish a flat booking-photo fee or promise a fixed response time. Use the routes below to avoid sending a county booking question to the wrong agency.
- For a current or past county booking, photo, roster entry, or date-range search, begin with the Walton County booking guide. Call the jail for custody information or use JustFOIA for the official record.
- For a current warrant lead, use the paths explained under Most Wanted Fugitives, then confirm the result with WCSO or the court.
- For a release date, check the WCSO inmate inquiry. For custody alerts, use WCSO victims’ resources and VINE rather than relying on an old roster result.
- For filed charges, court events, or the final disposition, use the Walton County Clerk court search or call the Clerk at 850-892-8115.
- For a person serving a Florida state sentence or under state supervision, use the Florida Department of Corrections Offender Search. FDC is not the county jail roster.
- For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator. It covers federal records from 1982 forward and does not show inmate photographs.
- For adult immigration custody, or CBP custody lasting more than 48 hours, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator. It does not publish booking photos.
