This Is Not a Government Office. This is an independent reference site. It cannot obtain criminal records, conduct an official background check, correct or remove a record, or receive an expungement filing. Those services remain with the responsible government office.
Need an Official Record?
Use the custodian that matches the Calhoun County record you need:

- Criminal histories and official checks: use the West Virginia State Police Criminal Identification Bureau and its IdentoGO fingerprint channel
- Grantsville police reports: call the Police Department at 304-354-6400; the Town Clerk at 304-354-7500 is the municipal public-record fallback
