Where to Look First
San Juan County uses different offices for jail custody, sheriff records, court cases, public-record requests, state prisoners, and federal or immigration custody. Start with the source that matches the record you need.
- County jail custody: San Juan County Adult Detention Center, 871 Andrea Drive, Farmington, NM 87401; general ADC information (505) 566-4500. The county says detainee information is available through the official Detainee Inquiry system.
- Visitation: For Adult Detention Center visitation questions, call (505) 516-0115.
- Commissary: For San Juan County ADC commissary questions, call (505) 566-4518.
- PREA: The ADC PREA Coordinator can be reached at (505) 566-4509 or preacoordinator@sjcounty.net.
- Sheriff records and patrol matters: San Juan County Sheriff's Office, Sheriff R. Shane Ferrari, main office at 211 S. Oliver Drive, Aztec, NM 87410; phone (505) 334-6107.
- Sheriff substations: Lee Acres substation, 21 Road 5500, Farmington; Kirtland substation, 6 Road 6360, Kirtland. Sheriff public offices are posted for Monday through Thursday service, with Aztec listed as 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Lee Acres/Kirtland listed as 7:00 a.m. to noon and 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., excluding holidays.
- Non-emergency dispatch: Call (505) 334-6622 for on-duty deputies when it is not an emergency. Call 911 for emergencies.
- Public records/IPRA: Use the San Juan County JustFOIA portal at https://sanjuancountynm.justfoia.com/publicportal. New Mexico records requests are governed by the Inspection of Public Records Act, including NMSA 14-2-1 and the law-enforcement-record framework in NMSA 14-2-1.2.
For common lookup goals, these pages explain the next steps:
- Use jail inmate records for a person who may be in the San Juan County Adult Detention Center or listed through the county detainee inquiry.
- Use jail roster mugshots for booking-photo availability, third-party warning context, and request limits.
- Use court records after a jail arrest for charges, case lookup, court calendars, and post-arrest court records.
- Use the facility pages in the footer for the Adult Detention Center and the Alternative Sentencing Division / DWI and Axis Detention Facility.
- Use New Mexico Case Lookup at https://caselookup.nmcourts.gov/caselookup/app for statewide electronic court-record searches after charges are filed.
- Use the New Mexico Corrections Department offender search at https://www.cd.nm.gov/offender-search/ for sentenced state prisoners, probation, or parole records outside the county jail roster.
- Use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator at https://www.bop.gov/inmate_locator/index.jsp for federal inmates and ICE Online Detainee Locator System at https://locator.ice.gov/ for immigration custody; those systems do not use the San Juan County roster.
