This Is Not a Government Office. This privately operated reference site cannot retrieve records, perform official background checks, correct or remove an entry, or receive an expungement filing. Those services must come from the responsible government office.
Need an Official Record?
Use the office that controls the Garrard County record in question:
- Court case files and expungement filings: review the criminal court cases guide, then contact the Garrard Circuit Court Clerk at the Justice Center, 54 Stanford St., Lancaster, KY 40444; 859-792-2961; Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- Arrest and incident reports: contact the agency that created the report. The Garrard County Sheriff is at 319 Stanford St., Lancaster, KY 40444; 859-792-3591.
- Lancaster police reports: Lancaster Police Department, 214 Richmond St., Lancaster, KY 40444; 859-792-6000.
- Booking and custody information: Garrard County has no jail, so confirm the receiving facility through the Garrard Jailer at 319 Stanford St.; 859-792-2591, and check the Lincoln and Boyle County facilities as appropriate.
- Centralized criminal histories and official checks: use the consent-based process administered by Kentucky State Police, Criminal Identification and Records Branch.
- Public agency records: submit a sufficiently specific written request to the proper custodian under the Kentucky Open Records Act, KRS 61.870-61.884. KRS 17.150 limits access to the centralized KSP compilation and permits restrictions on certain investigative information.
The sheriff does not publish a separate records-division counter, request form, or local fee schedule. Call Garrard County Sheriff, 319 Stanford St., Lancaster, KY 40444, at 859-792-3591 before sending a request and ask for the official custodian and current charge. Court records instead begin with the Circuit Court Clerk at 54 Stanford St.
