Lehigh County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, arrange a release, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Use the relevant public office below for an official answer.
Official Lehigh County Contacts
Lehigh County Jail and Central Booking are part of the County Department of Corrections system. The Sheriff’s Office is a separate office and should not be treated as the jail operator. No verified public LCJ roster, booking-photo desk, booking-photo fee, or public photo feed was located. The research did not establish public office hours for the jail, Sheriff’s Office, or Open Records Officer, so confirm current availability with the office before visiting or mailing a request.

Use the current Lehigh County Right-to-Know page for forms, instructions, and confirmation of the active officer or mailing method. A precise request should identify the person, date range, agency, and record sought. The custodian determines whether a record may be released under Pennsylvania law.
Choose the office that actually holds the record. A jail inquiry concerns county custody. A city incident report starts with the arresting city’s records or Right-to-Know office. Court status belongs with the Lehigh County court search or the Pennsylvania UJS case search. A state-prison custody question belongs with the PA DOC locator, while federal and ICE custody are handled through their separate official locators.
- For a county booking or jail-record inquiry, begin with the County Right-to-Know process and ask the County to identify the lawful custodian.
- For a city police record, use the city agency’s records or Right-to-Know path rather than assuming LCJ holds the incident report.
- For an official near-term city publication, consult the verified city source, such as Bethlehem’s Daily Report or the Emmaus Press Release index, and note its stated time window.
- For case events or a disposition after booking, use the Lehigh County or statewide Pennsylvania court search.
- For a general explanation of the county’s record paths and public-source limits, use the Home page.
