What You Need to Do to Find Barren County Arrest Records and Active Warrants
The last thing you want to happen is to discover out of the blue that one of your employees, your children's babysitter, your elderly parents' nurse or even the guy you have recently started dating has an arrest history, is a former sex offender or is wanted by the police. To prevent this from happening, you must know how to perform a background check on people that you interact with on an everyday basis. This article will show you how to find Barren county arrest records, outstanding warrants and court dockets.
Carrying out an inmate search
The website of the local correctional facility has an online jail tracker. It enables you to carry out a name-based search to get online copies of Barren county arrest records. You can aim your search at currently confined detainees or at detainees released in the last 30 days.
Each record specifies an inmate's full name and alias, age and mugshot in addition to booking date and release date (if there is any), case number, bond information, sentence, court date, and a full description of charges filed against him/her.
As mentioned above, this jail tracker relates only to the last 30 days. To obtain information on a arrests from the more distant past, you will be required to search for Barren County court dockets for the simple reason that these dockets present a person's convictions and the jail/prison sentences he/she got for these convictions.
What you should do is turn to the Circuit Court Clerk (100 Courthouse Square, Glasgow, KY 42142-1359, phone: 270-651-2561) and file a FOIA request to view criminal records issued by the court.

For a wider search, you can also turn to the Administrative Office of the Courts. For $25.00, they provide criminal record reports either on yourself or on a third person. These reports are based on court information from all of Kentucky counties. The reports present Misdemeanor offenses from the last 5 years and felony offenses committed from 1978 onwards. You'll be asked to pay $25.00 per report, which you can obtain online, on U.S. mail or by going to their offices at 1001 Vandalay Drive, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601.

Expanding your arrest search to the entire state
Barren county arrest records only relate to your local area. If you want to expand your inquiry, use the Kentucky Offender Online Lookup maintained by the KY Department of Corrections. It lets you run a name-based search to trace inmates confined in correctional facilities all over state. The advanced options lets you narrow your inquiry to a specific county.
Performing a warrant search
To find Barren county warrants, go to the Sheriff Office (117 N Public Square, Glasgow, KY 42141, phone: 270-651-2771) and inquire whether the individual that matters to you appears on their wanted people list. They usually quite cooperative and are willing to share warrant information with private citizens. However, if the relevant case is under an ongoing criminal investigation or if juveniles are involved, it is likely to remain confidential.
