Finding Someone in Custody in Greene County
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Greene County is held at the county jail, run by the Greene County Sheriff's Office, whichever agency made the arrest.
SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Greene County Sheriff's Office at greenecountypa.gov/department-sheriff (page title: Greene County Sheriff), phone 724-852-5218, 10 East High Street 1st Floor Waynesburg, PA 15370, 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 724-852-5218.
