This Is Not a Government Office. We cannot run an official background check, pull a criminal record, change a record, or accept a Nebraska set-aside filing. Those services must come from the responsible government office.
Need an Official Record?
Use the custodian that matches the record sought in Wheeler County:
- Sheriff reports and recent arrest questions: Wheeler County Sheriff, county courthouse complex at 301 Third Street, P.O. Box 127, Bartlett, NE 68622; 308-654-3232; fax 308-654-3442. Published business-transaction hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Those hours do not guarantee that every records service is available throughout the day.
- District Court felony files and county public-record requests: County Clerk and Clerk of District Court, 301 Third Street, P.O. Box 127, Bartlett, NE 68622; 308-654-3235; clerk@wheelercountyne.gov. Hours are Monday through Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Friday, 9:00 a.m. to noon.
- County Court cases: call 308-654-3376 for misdemeanor, traffic, ordinance, and felony preliminary matters. Local sessions are the second Monday and Thursdays, subject to schedule. Published hours are 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., closed over noon.
- Nebraska RAP sheets: request the record from the Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division through its official online, mail, or in-person channel.
- Sex offender records: use the official Nebraska Sex Offender Registry managed by the Nebraska State Patrol.
- Police or incident reports: contact the agency that responded. Wheeler County Sheriff serves Bartlett and Ericson locally, while Nebraska State Patrol holds reports for its own enforcement.
Wheeler County has no advertised standalone records division, village police counter, local jail roster, or municipal court portal. For a recent custody question, call the Sheriff first and ask which facility received the person. For a filed case, contact the correct Bartlett court clerk.
