Beverly Record Check

Beverly Criminal History Checks

A Beverly criminal record check begins with the date and the badge. Before September 2024, older municipal police material may have a town connection. After the Beverly Police force disbanded, current law-enforcement reports should be traced to the responding Randolph County Sheriff deputy or West Virginia State Police trooper. Town Hall can identify a legacy custodian, but it should not be presumed to hold a new sheriff or state police report.

Use this order to keep a Beverly search tied to the right office:

1. Identify the responding agency from the report number, officer name, badge, citation, or dispatch details.
2. Ask that agency for the incident or arrest report, stating date, place, parties, and exact media sought.
3. Ask Beverly Town Hall about town ordinance files, current municipal court operations, or legacy town police material.
4. Search WVDCR Jail and Daily Incarcerations for booking, then MCRSearch and WVPASS for court events.
5. Use IdentoGO and WVSP CIB to review your own statewide fingerprint-linked history.

The event location alone does not name the custodian. A “Beverly arrest” may be a Sheriff case, a WVSP case, a WVDCR booking, and a Randolph court file at the same time.

Beverly Police Records After Disbandment

Beverly's police force disbanded in September 2024. That change is the most important fact in a current Beverly records search. Do not send a new incident request to a police unit that no longer operates. Use the officer's actual agency, usually Randolph County Sheriff or WVSP. The sheriff's law-enforcement office is at 32 Randolph Avenue, Suite 201, Elkins, and its phone is 304-636-2111. The Elkins-area WVSP number identified by the county prosecutor is 304-637-0200.

For an older Beverly police file, describe the incident, date, location, and desired item to Town Hall and ask which office now has custody. That is a routing request, not proof that Town Hall possesses the record. A dispatch or 911 record may instead belong to county 911/OEM at 304-636-0483. A court disposition always comes from the court clerk, not the agency archive.

Note: Beverly's 2024 change affects the report custodian, but it does not erase older records or move all records into one new database.

Records at the Beverly Police Department

There is no active Beverly Police Department records desk to treat as the default source for current reports. The practical police-record channel is the agency that responded. Randolph Sheriff offers an official Accident/Incident Report service and accepts calls at 304-636-2111. WVSP should receive requests for its own reports. Confirm the submission method before faxing, mailing, or visiting because official research found no universal Beverly form, public fee schedule, or turnaround promise.

A focused request should include the incident number, date and time range, exact Beverly location, involved party, officer or agency, record type, and desired format. Ask separately for an incident narrative, arrest report, dispatch record, 911 audio, photographs, or video. Active investigations, juvenile data, victim and witness details, informants, personal identifiers, and unserved-warrant intelligence can be redacted or withheld.

Beverly Town Records at Walnut Avenue

Beverly Town Hall is at 5 Walnut Avenue, Beverly, WV 26253. It is the sound first stop for town ordinances, meeting records, current municipal administration, and questions about legacy Beverly material. It is not the clerk for Randolph Magistrate or Circuit criminal cases. The mayor-council government meets on the second Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m., but meeting schedules do not establish a criminal court session.

The official Beverly government source supplied this view of municipal operations.

The town image marks the correct place to ask about municipal custody and legacy files, while current police reports remain with the creating law-enforcement agency.

Booking and Arrest Records in Beverly

Beverly has no verified local holding facility or public town roster. A custodial Beverly arrest enters the WVDCR regional system, commonly through Tygart Valley Regional Jail and Correctional Facility. Search the WVDCR Jail tool and Daily Incarcerations. If a new admission has not appeared, call Tygart Valley at 304-637-0382 with the full name and approximate date. Search MCRSearch next for the complaint, initial appearance, bail, or misdemeanor case.

Booking personnel create an OIS entry, establish identity through prior data and LiveScan, take fingerprints and a booking image, assign an offender number, and associate the commitment order and listed charges. That record proves an intake event, not guilt. The prosecutor can amend or decline charges, a grand jury can return or decline an indictment, and the court may dismiss, acquit, accept a plea, or convict.

The county Randolph County arrest search covers each official custody channel when a Beverly booking has moved beyond town boundaries.

Beverly Town Files Are Not Dockets

Beverly's public document center contains municipal government material. Council minutes, ordinances, forms, and administrative documents can show what the town enacted or discussed, but they do not replace a criminal docket. The distinction matters after police disbandment because a searcher may find town records online and assume all public Beverly records are stored there.

The Beverly document center is the direct source for the archive view below.

The archive helps locate town law and meeting material. A state-law misdemeanor belongs with Randolph Magistrate Court, and a felony after indictment belongs with Randolph Circuit Court.

MCRSearch accepts a first name, last name, or case number and returns up to 30 index results without documents. Call the Magistrate Clerk at 304-636-5885 for copies. WVPASS covers public Circuit records, while the Circuit Clerk at 304-636-2765 handles certified, omitted, archived, or older material.

The Beverly Municipal Court File

Beverly's codified ordinances created a municipal court for alleged town ordinance violations. Current court operations, judge, schedule, copy fee, and active case channel were not verified on the official town site. Contact Town Hall before relying on a trip or assuming a current docket exists. Ask whether the matter remains in a Beverly municipal file and whether inspection, an ordinary copy, or certification is available.

State-law misdemeanors and felony preliminary proceedings do not move into a town meeting archive. They remain with Randolph Magistrate Court. Felonies after indictment proceed in Randolph Circuit Court. A current Beverly record search therefore needs a verified municipal channel for town law and the two state court systems for state charges.

Beverly Criminal Records and Court History

Beverly's place in Randolph justice history long predates its present town government. Randolph County was organized in 1787, and its first court met at Benjamin Wilson's home in Tygart Valley. James Westfall donated land for a courthouse in what became Beverly, which served as the early county seat. Elkins later became the seat and now holds the modern Circuit, Magistrate, sheriff, prosecutor, and probation offices.

The Town of Beverly official site provides the local image used here.

This history explains why a Beverly municipal question begins on Walnut Avenue but a certified modern state criminal file requires a Randolph Avenue clerk in Elkins.

Beverly had 628 residents in the 2020 Census. That population fact supplies town context, not a crime count. County court filings cover all Randolph communities and cannot be assigned to Beverly without a case-level place and agency check.

How Beverly Records Reach the County

A current Beverly event first creates a report at the responding Sheriff or WVSP office. If custody follows, WVDCR creates a separate booking record. Magistrate Court records the complaint, initial appearance, bail, and early felony work. Circuit Court adds an indictment file when a felony proceeds. WVSP CIB then links fingerprint submissions with reported charge and disposition data.

Record flow: Responding Sheriff or WVSP agency in Beverly › WVDCR and Randolph County courts › West Virginia State Police CIB

Town Hall sits beside this flow, not at its center. It may hold ordinance files, administrative records, and older town material, and it can help identify a legacy custodian. It does not become the owner of a Sheriff's report, WVDCR booking, Magistrate complaint, or Circuit judgment merely because the event happened in Beverly.

Choose Beverly Record Custodians by Badge

If the agency is unclear, look at the citation, incident number, vehicle markings, officer name, or court complaint. Then call the likely agency and give the date, time, and exact location. Randolph Sheriff expressly serves Beverly and other county communities. WVSP also handles state-law, highway, and investigative work. A multiagency task-force matter may remain with the lead agency or prosecutor rather than Town Hall.

For a court record, use the case number and court shown on the complaint. For custody, use WVDCR. For 911 audio or CAD, call county 911/OEM. This file-by-file method is slower than a fictional all-in-one Beverly portal, but it is accurate. No official Beverly police app, online criminal-case portal, jail roster, or current public municipal docket was verified.

Note: Never import addresses, officers, portals, or court details from Mill Creek, Washington; Beverly records use West Virginia and Randolph County sources.

Beverly Record Access Rules

West Virginia FOIA governs requests for nonexempt town and law-enforcement agency records. It does not override court sealing, juvenile confidentiality, active-investigation protections, or privacy exemptions. Public court access follows court rules and law. CIB dissemination outside government follows a stricter subject-authorization rule, so a public clerk search is not the same product as a fingerprint-linked history.

Ask for segregable public portions when part of a Beverly record is exempt. A redacted agency report and a public court docket may reveal different lawful fields.

No Beverly Criminal Case Portal

No verified Beverly online criminal-case portal exists. Lead with the fallback chain: call Town Hall for a municipal or legacy-file route, call the creating agency for a police report, search MCRSearch for Magistrate matters, search WVPASS for Circuit matters, and contact the clerk for copies or records omitted online. For custody, use WVDCR and Tygart Valley.

When an expected file is absent, compare spelling, date, case number, agency, and court. A Magistrate result may be outside the 30-result limit. A later felony may use a new Circuit number. A released person may not remain in a current jail view. An expunged, sealed, or juvenile matter may be restricted by design. If your CIB history contains a bad charge or disposition, obtain the court record and contact the submitting court or arrest agency before using the $20 WVSP-136A personal challenge route.
