Finding Someone in Custody in Clovis
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Clovis is held at the county jail, run by the Curry County Sheriff's Office, whichever agency made the arrest.
SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Curry County Sheriff's Office at currycountynm.gov/elected-officials/sheriff-s-office (page title: Sheriff's Office | Curry County, NM), phone (575) 769-2335, 700 North Main Street, Suite #4 Clovis, NM 88101, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 28, 2026.
That page is the office's jail information page rather than a roster, so a search for a particular person goes through the office at (575) 769-2335.
