Official Knox County criminal records must come from the government office that created or maintains them. The contacts below route court files to the Circuit Clerk, sheriff reports and custody questions to the sheriff, and statewide history checks to MSHP CJIS. This private site does not receive or process record requests.

This Is Not a Government Office. We run a private reference site. We cannot pull criminal records, run official background checks, remove or correct a record, or accept expungement filings for anyone. For any of those, you need to reach the right government office directly.

  • Police reports and incident records: contact the agency that wrote the report
  • Expungement: file in the Missouri court where the person was charged or found guilty
