Official Clark County Contacts

Clark County Jail Records

For a current Clark County custody question, a booking-record request, or a question about the sheriff's weekly arrest reports, start with the sheriff's office. The office's public website identifies Sheriff Shawn Webster and provides the following contact information. No separate records-unit hours were verified in the research, so call before traveling or sending a time-sensitive request.

The county-government page has also displayed a different sheriff email address. Telephone confirmation is sensible before sending a formal Missouri Sunshine Law request. A narrow written request should identify the full name, approximate date, arresting agency, and any booking or case number. Ask for electronic delivery, a fee estimate, and the statutory basis for any withheld portion.

Where to Direct a Question

Different official systems hold different kinds of information. A roster result does not replace a court disposition, and an arresting agency can hold an incident report that is separate from the county jail record.

• Use the official sheriff roster for a live public custody check, recognizing that the dynamic view can change.
• Use the sheriff arrest-report archive to search a likely weekly date window and identify the reporting agency.
• Use the Clark County Circuit Clerk and Missouri Case.net for a docket or later disposition.
• Use VINELink or Missouri VINE at 866-566-8267 for statewide custody-status notifications where a connected record is available.
• Use the Missouri DOC offender search for active state supervision, not a Clark County jail booking photograph.
• Use the appropriate federal locator only when federal or immigration custody is the question, not as proof about a county arrest.

Court Clerk Details

The Clark County Circuit Clerk is the county court route. The clerk's page lists the office in Missouri's 1st Judicial Circuit and directs users to Case.net for online case access. Court staff can help with docket access and filing questions, but they do not replace the sheriff as the custodian of a jail booking record.
