This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference service cannot obtain an official criminal record, perform an authorized background check, correct or remove a case, or receive an expungement petition. Those tasks must go directly to the responsible government office.
Need an Official Record?
Use these Butler County and Kentucky contacts for the most common official records:
- Court case files: review criminal court case records or call Butler Circuit Court Clerk Melissa Cardwell at 270-526-5631
- Criminal identification records: use the Kentucky State Police Criminal Identification and Records Branch
- Arrest reports: contact the Butler County Sheriff at 270-526-3676 or KSP Post 3, based on the responder
- Booking and custody: contact the Butler jailer or use Kentucky VINE; KOOL is only a DOC-linked supplement
- Statewide court checks: order the AOC Records Unit report at 800-928-6381
- Expungement filings: obtain the AOC/KSP certification, then file the correct petition with the court of conviction
