Wayne County Busted Mugshots is a private reference service, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible government office directly for those actions.
Where to start a record question
The correct contact depends on the record type. County jail custody begins with the official Inmate Inquiry and WCCF. A municipal police incident has a municipal custodian. A court case belongs with UJS or court staff. A booking-photo request follows the County's public-records routing and may be referred to the District Attorney or Sheriff for legal consideration.
- For a custody or booking lead, use the county custody and records path.
- For a wanted card or possible warrant, use Sheriff's Most Wanted and the relevant court, attorney, or law-enforcement route.
- For a dated official release or local reporting lead, see Mugshots in the News.
- For a state-sentenced inmate or parolee, use the PA DOC locator.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP locator or ICE locator.

Municipal and court routing
Honesdale Borough Police lists 962 Main Street, Honesdale, PA 18431, phone 570-253-1900. Its local open-records process identifies the Borough Secretary as Open Records Officer. Hawley Borough Police is listed at 570-226-4868; Hawley's borough office is at 94 Main Avenue, Hawley, PA 18428, 570-226-9545. Its verified pages do not name a dedicated police records officer, so confirm the current contact through the borough before sending a request.
Waymart's older police page was not verified as current. A secondary directory contact should be verified with the borough before use. Honesdale and Waymart are in MDJ 22-3-02; Hawley is in MDJ 22-3-01. The County's MDJ page, court case page, and Clerk of Courts page identify court routes.
Send a clear official request
For a formal County RTKL request, identify the person or event only as needed, the agency, date range, incident or booking number if known, record type, and desired access method. The county says its online form can be used to request electronic copies, paper copies, inspection, or certified copies and can request fee notice above $100. A request may be granted, partly granted, denied, referred, or need clarification.
Use the County Open Records page for its current form, routing information, response time, and appeal details. If the record is a municipal incident report, confirm the municipal records officer first. If it is a court record, use UJS or court staff. If it is a current safety emergency, contact 911 rather than submitting a records request.
