Dale County Jail and Sheriff
For a Dale County Jail booking or release record, start with the Dale County Sheriff's Office or jail. The county's official site links both the Sheriff's Department and Jail to the sheriff channel at daleso.com. The sheriff site timed out during research, so call before mailing a request or visiting.

County Administration
The Dale County Commission is not the jail records custodian, but it is the official county web source that links to the sheriff and jail.
