Meade County Recent Arrests is a private reference, not a government office. We cannot confirm anyone’s custody, obtain an official booking record, release a person, or post bond. Contact the office responsible for the record or custody decision.
Official Meade County Contacts
Choose the office by the kind of fact needed. The detention center handles current county-jail custody and booking questions. The sheriff holds sheriff-created law-enforcement records. The Circuit Court Clerk is the source for Meade court files and case status. Dispatch can route a non-emergency law-enforcement matter. Officeholders and hours can change, so the details below reflect the current official pages reviewed for this project.

The correct route depends on where the record lives:
- For a mugshot or booking record, begin with the county arrest and roster path, then ask the detention center or records custodian for an item not shown online.
- For a fresh arrest, check JailTracker and call the detention center because public data may lag intake.
- For a court date, charge change, or disposition, contact the Meade Circuit Court Clerk.
- For free release or transfer notices on a participating record, use Kentucky VINELink and keep the facility phone available.
- For a person in Kentucky state prison custody, use the Kentucky Department of Corrections KOOL offender search.
- For federal prison or immigration custody, use the official BOP or ICE locator rather than a county office.
The sheriff page also lists the anonymous drug-tip number 422-HOPE (4673). A tip line is for information supplied to law enforcement. It is not a records line, custody search, legal service, or warrant-confirmation channel.
