Socorro County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody or release, release a person, post a bond, or obtain an official booking record. Direct those matters to the responsible government office.
Official Contacts and Record Paths
For a current-custody check, begin with the official Socorro County JailTracker roster. The county cautions that the live roster requires a CAPTCHA, so a failed online view is not a custody determination. The Socorro County Detention Center is at 1001 Grefco Road, Socorro, NM 87801; its information line is 575-835-0945, extension 8015, and it operates 24 hours a day.
The Socorro County Sheriff's Office lists Sheriff Lee Armijo and Undersheriff Amanda Vega at 200 Church Street, Socorro, NM 87801, with mail to P.O. Box 581, Socorro, NM 87801. The office telephone is 575-835-0941, fax is 575-835-9156, and hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., excluding federal holidays. County-listed email contacts are larmijo@co.socorro.nm.us and avega@co.socorro.nm.us.
For an IPRA request, the county identifies Andrew Lotrich as custodian at 198 Neel Avenue, Socorro, NM 87801, or P.O. Box D, Socorro, NM 87801; telephone 575-835-0589; fax 575-835-4629. The county permits requests in person, by mail, email, or fax, and says a written request should identify the requester and describe the record. Its general-information page describes a response no later than 15 calendar days, with a written timing response by three business days if more time is needed. Reasonable copying fees and advance payment may apply; no separate county booking-photo fee is published.
- For a detention booking record or current custody, use the county guide, the live roster, or the detention center. A roster entry can disappear after release, and it does not replace a formal record request.
- For an originating local arrest report, contact the issuing agency. The Socorro Police Department is the city route; the Magdalena Marshal's Office is the village route. Ask which office holds the particular report or photo.
- For a case outcome after booking, use New Mexico Case Lookup. A court file and a detention booking file are different records.
- Use the New Mexico Corrections Department offender search only after a person is in state custody. It is not a Socorro County booking roster and does not establish that NMCD holds the local booking photo.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the official Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator; neither replaces a county booking record.
