Official Chaves County criminal records must be requested from the government office that created or maintains them. Court files go to the proper clerk, sheriff and detention records go through county channels, and Roswell Police reports remain with RPD. Statewide subject records come from the New Mexico Department of Public Safety. The contacts below route each record type without treating this private reference site as a government counter.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference site cannot retrieve, correct, seal, or certify records, run official checks, or accept court and IPRA filings.
