This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference site cannot retrieve an official record, perform a government background check, correct or remove an entry, or receive an expungement filing. Only the responsible public office can handle those requests.
Need an Official Record?
Use the custodian that matches the Kenton County record:
- Court case files: review criminal court case records and contact Circuit Court Clerk John C. Middleton, 230 Madison Avenue, Covington, KY 41011, at 859-292-6521; the counter is open 8 a.m.-4 p.m. weekdays
- Police reports: apply to the agency that wrote the report; Kenton County Police is at 11777 Madison Pike, Independence, and dispatch records use DispatchOpenRecords@KentonCounty.org
- Booking and custody material: contact the Kenton County Detention Center, 3000 Decker Crane Lane, Covington, KY 41011, at 859-363-2400
- Statewide court reports: order from the Kentucky Court of Justice AOC Records Unit through FastCheck or its One-Time Request
- Fingerprint-supported self-review: use the Kentucky State Police Criminal Identification and Records Branch route under KRS 17.185
- Expungement filings: obtain the Court of Justice certification and file the proper petition with the clerk in the county of conviction
Kenton has no single sheriff's records counter for every criminal record. General county and detention requests may be directed to records custodian Scott Gunning at the Kenton County Government Center, 1840 Simon Kenton Way, Suite 5200, Covington, KY 41011, 859-392-1400. A city police report, county-police report, booking record, and court judgment still go to their separate owners.
