Martinsburg, WV – The Berkeley County Sheriff’s Department is reminding the public of its “Wanted Wednesday” initiative, encouraging individuals listed as wanted to contact the office and arrange to turn themselves in during designated hours.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, wanted persons should call 304-267-7000 and make arrangements to surrender between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. This allows deputies to bring them directly before a magistrate and provide an opportunity to post bond the same day. Officials say this process helps reduce county jail costs and avoids the need for overnight incarceration or late-night arrests.
The department added that the program aims to promote public safety and streamline court procedures by handling surrenders during regular business hours.
Anyone with information about wanted individuals in Berkeley County can submit anonymous tips online through the Sheriff’s Department website or by calling the office.
