Official Knox County Contacts

This private reference service is not a government office. It cannot confirm present custody, authorize release, post bond, or retrieve an official booking file. Please direct those requests to the agency or record custodian listed below.


Where to Direct a Record Question

Start with the office that created the record or has custody of the person. Knox County has no public county booking feed, and a Knox-related detainee may be housed outside the county. The following official contacts were identified in the research. Business hours were not published in the source set, so call before visiting or sending a request.

Lewis County Sheriff Jail Contact

Helpful starting points depend on the record needed:

  • For a current-custody or booking question, use the Knox records and custody reference to identify the sheriff and possible receiving jail.
  • For a possible warrant or a warrant-related court question, use Most Wanted for the safe official verification route.
  • For a sentenced Missouri prisoner, use the official Missouri Department of Corrections offender search linked from the home reference.
  • For a federal or immigration custody question, use the official BOP or ICE locator identified in the county reference.
  • For a later case event, check Missouri Case.net or ask the Circuit Clerk about public court-record access.
