Questions about official Lea County criminal records must go to the government office that created or maintains the file. The contacts below route arrest reports, detention bookings, court cases, and statewide arrest histories to the proper Lea County or New Mexico custodian. This private site cannot retrieve, change, certify, or accept filings for an official record.

This Is Not a Government Office. This is a privately operated reference site. We cannot retrieve official records, perform official record checks, correct or remove records, or receive expungement filings. Contact the responsible public office directly.

Need an Official Record?

Use the office that holds the specific Lea County record:

  • Detention bookings: Lea County Detention Center, 1401 S. Commercial Street, Lovington, NM 88260, 575-396-8669
  • Sheriff reports: Lea County Sheriff, Lovington, 575-396-3611; call for the current records custodian and counter hours
  • Felony court files and expungement petitions: Lea County District Court, Fifth Judicial District, 100 N. Main Avenue, Lovington, NM 88260
  • Hobbs magistrate matters: Hobbs Magistrate Court, 2110 N. Alto Drive, Hobbs, NM 88240, 575-397-3621
  • State arrest history: New Mexico Department of Public Safety, Law Enforcement Records Bureau; use its notarized authorization process for your own record
  • Police incident reports: contact the city police agency that made the record, not the detention center or court

The sheriff and detention center are distinct custodians. Ask the sheriff for a sheriff-created incident report and Lea County Detention Center for the booking sheet, intake or release dates, bond, or custody record.
