Oyster Bay Arrest Processing

Two police agencies serve Oyster Bay. The Nassau County Police Department covers most of the town from its precinct at Berry Hill Road and Route 25A, Oyster Bay, NY 11771, phone (516) 922-6363. The Oyster Bay Village Police Department operates from 1 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, NY 11771 at (516) 922-8600. Both agencies book arrests locally and then transfer detainees to the Nassau County Correctional Center.

The Nassau County Police records division is at headquarters, 1490 Franklin Avenue, Mineola, NY 11501. Call (516) 573-8800 for records questions. When someone is arrested in Oyster Bay, they go through fingerprinting, photos, and paperwork at the station. Eligible offenses may result in a desk appearance ticket instead of a trip to county jail. For more serious charges, the person is transported to the correctional center in East Meadow where the formal county booking takes place. That is where the booking release record is created and stored.

Finding Oyster Bay Booking Releases

Nassau County does not have an online inmate search tool. You have to call or visit in person. Reach the correctional center at (516) 572-4200 or the inmate records line at (516) 572-3802. Give them the person's full name and date of birth. If you have the arrest date or booking number, that helps. Staff can tell you if someone is in custody, what the charges are, bail status, and upcoming court dates.

For automated alerts, the VINE Link system tracks custody changes at no charge. Register with the inmate's name and select phone, email, or text notifications. The hotline is 1-888-846-3469. VINE covers Nassau County and runs around the clock. If someone has been moved to state prison, search the DOCCS Inmate Lookup for current status and facility info.

Note: Phone inquiries may take longer during peak times. Try calling early in the morning for the fastest response.
