Choose the source that matches the question:
- For a booking file, arrest report, or releasable photograph, follow the request steps on the home page and identify the person, approximate date, arresting agency, and precise documents sought.
- For someone booked today, check 24 Hour Arrests and the official current roster, then call 816-407-3800 when intake may not yet appear online.
- For a multi-day search, use the Arrest Log; Clay County has no separate official chronological blotter.
- For custody changes or release notifications, use the VINELink Check and MOVANS. The county roster only covers current local detention.
- For warrants, booking-photo law, or record correction and expungement routes, use the relevant sections of the county arrests hub.
- For active state prison, probation, or parole records, use the Missouri Department of Corrections Offender Search. It is not a local pretrial roster.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the official Federal Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator linked from the home guide.
