This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, free anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible public office directly for those services.

For current facility information, contact the Clay County Detention Center at 14 S. Water St., Liberty, MO 64068, or call 816-407-3800.

General Sheriff's public-record requests go to Captain Chris Johnson, Custodian of Records, Clay County Sheriff's Office, 12 S. Water St., Liberty, MO 64068, or sabrina.weightman@sheriffclayco.com.

Court record questions belong with the Clay County Circuit Court at the James S. Rooney Justice Center, 11 S. Water St., Liberty. Court hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The following routes help match a question with the correct office or guide.

  • For a named person who has left the jail, use the Clay County released-inmate guide for the full search and request path.
  • For active probation or parole, contact MODOC District 19 at 910 Kent, Liberty, MO 64068, or 816-792-0793.
  • For recent county releases, the 24-hour guide explains how to request an exact time window because no official public release feed was found.
