Quincy Jail Mugshots and Norfolk County

Quincy falls under Norfolk County for all jail and corrections matters. The Norfolk County Sheriff's Office operates the Norfolk County Correctional Center at 200 West Street in Dedham. That is where Quincy inmates end up after arrest. The facility holds both pre-trial detainees and sentenced inmates. When the jail books someone in, staff take a mugshot, collect fingerprints, and log the charges. All of this becomes part of the inmate's booking record.

The distance from Quincy to Dedham is about 15 miles. Families and attorneys who need to visit the facility should plan for that drive. The sheriff's office can confirm custody status over the phone at (781) 329-3705. This is the fastest way to check if someone arrested in Quincy is still held at the county jail.

Quincy Police Arrest Records

The Quincy Police Department is at 1 Sea Street in Quincy. It handles all arrests within city limits. When officers make an arrest, they process the person at the station before any transfer to the county jail. The booking at the police station creates its own set of records, including the initial arrest report and charges filed.

Quincy police keep a daily arrest log as required by state law. MGL c. 41, § 98F says these logs must be open to the public during regular business hours. The log has the name and address of each person arrested, plus the charges. It does not include mugshot photos. For those, you need to go through the Norfolk County Sheriff or file a formal public records request. Domestic violence arrests are excluded from the public log under MGL c. 41, § 97D.

The records division at (617) 745-5777 can help with copies of arrest reports and other documents on file. Fees for copies follow state rules at $0.25 per page under MGL c. 66, § 10.

Certified documents cost more. Bring a photo ID when you go to the courthouse.

Quincy Mugshot Records and the Law

Massachusetts treats mugshot access differently than most states. The key question is when the booking photo was taken relative to the start of criminal proceedings. The Supervisor of Public Records ruled in opinion letter SPR10/152 that mugshots taken before criminal proceedings are initiated are public records. Once a criminal complaint is filed, the mugshot falls under CORI and access gets restricted under MGL c. 6, § 167.

This means that for some Quincy arrests, the jail mugshot may be available through a simple public records request. For others, it may be classified as CORI data and harder to get. The Norfolk County Sheriff's Office decides what it can release based on these rules. Under MGL c. 4, § 7(26), there are also exemptions for investigatory materials and records that could put someone at risk. Police departments have some room to release CORI-related photos if they serve an investigation under 803 CMR 7.10.

Records can also be sealed over time. Under MGL c. 276, §§ 100A and 100C, misdemeanor records become sealable after 5 years. Felony records need 10 years. Once sealed, the mugshot and booking data are hidden from standard searches. Some older Quincy arrest records may no longer be available for this reason.

Quincy Jail Mugshots and CORI

CORI stands for Criminal Offender Record Information. The Department of Criminal Justice Information Services runs the system from Chelsea. You can run a CORI check through the iCORI online portal for $25. You need the person's full name and date of birth. Results come back in 24 to 48 hours. Standard checks show convictions, active cases, and incarceration records. They do not show sealed or expunged records.

The iCORI system does not include mugshot photos directly. But it does confirm arrest and conviction data that ties back to the county jail records. If a CORI check shows an arrest in Quincy, you know the booking record exists at the Norfolk County Correctional Center. From there, you can file a targeted public records request with the sheriff's office for the specific mugshot or booking documents you need.
