How and Where You Can Inquire about Hopkins County Arrest Records and Outstanding Warrants
Hopkins County arrest records indicate whether a person has ever served time in jail as a result of being accused of or convicted of a crime. Outstanding warrants indicate whether a person is suspected of committing a crime and is, thus, wanted by the police. Both are necessary for a background check.
Conducting an arrest search
The website of the local detention center has an online jail tracker you can utilize to search for Hopkins County arrest records. It presents active and released inmates based on their names. This database goes back 30 days.
To conduct an inmate search that spans over a longer period of time, you should try to obtain copies of Hopkins County court records for the simple reason that these records include a person's conviction in court and jail sentences. We suggest going to the Circuit Court Clerk (30 S. Main St. Madisonville, Kentucky 42431, phone number (Criminal Division): 270-824-7341) and filing a FOIA request for that purpose.
In addition, you can contact the Administrative Office of the Courts where you can garner information on criminal records issued against a person in all of KY counties. These records include misdemeanor offenses committed in the last 5 years and felony offenses committed since 1978. The information can be delivered to you online, via U.S. mail or simply by physically going to their offices located at 1001 Vandalay Drive, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601 (phone: 502-573-2350). Each person being searched will cost you 25 dollars. For further information, go here.
Carrying out a Kentucky inmate search
To carry out a statewide inmate lookup, utilize the online offender database maintained by the KY Department of Corrections. By typing a name, you'll be shown an inmate's mugshot and personal details, booking date and future release date in addition to the offenses he/she was convicted of and, of course, the institution where he/she is confined. This database also presents parolees and absconders. By using the advanced search option, you can narrow your inquiry to a specific prison or area and, therefore, find information on Hopkins County arrest records.
Performing a warrant search
To inquire about Hopkins County warrants, go to the Sheriff Office (56 N Main St. Madisonville, Kentucky 42431 phone: 270-821-5661 ) and your local police department. Once you are there, you can ask to view their list of wanted people and request information on a person that matters to you.
They are usually quite willing to share warrant information with private citizens as the rationale that guides them is public safety. Having said that, cases that are currently under investigation or cases in which the suspect is a minor usually remain confidential.
