Finding Someone in Custody in King George County
A person kept in custody after an arrest in King George County is held at the county jail, run by the King George County Sheriff's Office, whichever agency made the arrest.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the King George County Sheriff's Office at inmatelocator.countyofkings.com (page title: Kings County Inmate Locator), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 30, 2026.
That page is the place to look for someone booked recently. A person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.
