Why This Reference Exists
Missouri law makes many arrest and booking records open, subject to important exceptions. Access is still divided among several systems. The Platte County Sheriff’s Office creates or maintains county booking material and links to the Current in Custody roster. Missouri Department of Corrections publishes information about active state offenders and supervision, not new county bookings. Missouri courts hold filed cases and later dispositions. A records request to the office that created or retains the document covers material that is not posted online. This site organizes those official routes and explains what each can and cannot establish. It stores no official records and displays no gallery of booking photographs.
Resources Collected Here

- Separate same-day and multi-day pages distinguish current custody from the Highway Patrol’s limited five-day reports.
- The VINE page explains custody searches and Missouri MOVANS notification registration.
- City pages address Kansas City, Parkville, and Platte City agency and custody boundaries.
- State court, corrections, federal, and immigration sources are labeled for their actual scope.
Limits of This Site
Platte County Recent Arrests is privately operated. It is not connected with the State of Missouri, Platte County government, the Platte County Sheriff’s Office, the Platte County Detention Center, any court, police department, jail, or corrections agency.
- It cannot release, detain, or transfer any person.
- It cannot post bond, arrange a visit, or send funds.
- It cannot give legal advice or decide expungement eligibility.
- It cannot guarantee that an address, fee, status, or phone number has not changed.
Only the responsible sheriff, police agency, jail, court, or corrections department can confirm present custody, charges, release, or the contents of an official record. An arrest is an accusation, not a conviction.

That support helps keep the public reference pages available without charge, but it does not make a partner’s result official or guarantee its accuracy.
