This is a privately operated reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the agency that holds the record for those services.
Find the Right Record Office
Montgomery County records are divided by purpose. The sheriff's office is the main non-emergency routing point for county law-enforcement records, while Montgomery County Regional Jail handles detention questions. The court clerk holds the case that follows booking. Call first when necessary to confirm the current custodian and accepted request method.

Choose the source that matches the question:
- For a mugshot, booking entry, current inmate, or recent arrest, begin with the official paths and written-request steps on the Montgomery County home page.
- For an outstanding warrant or sheriff-selected wanted notice, use Most Wanted Fugitives and verify the result with the sheriff or court.
- For a just-booked person, check the MCSO Recent Arrests view, which covers the previous 96 hours, and then Current Inmates if custody may continue.
- For release status or an alert, use the jail roster and Kentucky VINE. VINE provides custody notifications but does not supply booking photos.
- For a city incident record, contact Mount Sterling Police when its officer made the arrest. Camargo and Jeffersonville use MCSO as the verified starting point in the researched city sources.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Kentucky Department of Corrections KOOL offender search. For federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP or ICE locator.
- For a case outcome, filed charge, or disposition after booking, contact the Montgomery Circuit Clerk or use the official Kentucky court system.
Dispatch can provide a separate written route for CAD records or 911 audio, but it is not the booking-photo custodian. Likewise, court files explain what happened after an arrest and should not be confused with the jail intake record.
