Why This Site Exists
Kentucky law permits access to many public arrest and booking records, but those records are split among several custodians. Louisville Metro Department of Corrections creates and maintains the local adult booking record and current-inmate roster. The Kentucky Department of Corrections publishes information about people in state custody or under state supervision through KOOL. Kentucky courts show what happened after the initial allegation, and written records requests provide a path to records that are no longer on a live roster. We organize links and practical lookup steps for those official systems. We do not copy, store, or display booking-photo galleries.
Resources We Organize
The material is arranged around the public source that can answer each kind of question.
- The Jefferson County recent-arrests hub explains LMDC records, roster access, warrants, booking photos, and lawful correction or expungement routes.
- Dedicated pages distinguish the same-day booking window from the wider police blotter and explain Kentucky VINELink custody alerts.
- City pages identify the correct police-records route for Louisville, Jeffersontown, and St. Matthews while keeping LMDC custody separate.
- Request guidance identifies which office holds a booking record or photo and how Kentucky open-records procedures apply.
Limits of Our Role
This is an independent, privately operated reference site. We are not affiliated with Louisville Metro Corrections, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, the Kentucky Department of Corrections, any police department, court, jail, or other government agency.
- We cannot release, hold, locate, or transfer a person in custody.
- We cannot post bond, arrange a visit, or send funds for anyone.
- We cannot offer legal advice or act for a requester.
- We cannot promise that every address, fee, phone number, or online result remains current.
Only the responsible corrections agency, sheriff, police department, or court can confirm custody, charges, or release. We can direct readers to the official source, but we cannot make that confirmation.
Third-Party Search Partners
Some search boxes are supplied by outside providers. Those companies control their own results, terms, and prices. If a visitor follows a tool and buys a subscription or service, this site may receive a referral fee that helps keep access to our reference material free. We do not set a partner's charges or control the records it returns.
