No separate sheriff records-unit line or current BSRDC booking-photo form and fee schedule was found. Ask which office is the current custodian before submitting a signed, specific request. The sheriff lists after-hours dispatch at 606-789-4221, but dispatch and the 606-788-0252 anonymous tip line are not records-request channels.
Choose the route that matches the question:
- For a booking record or photograph, use the request steps on the home page and ask BSRDC, the sheriff, or the arresting agency which office maintains the item.
- For current custody, start with the official BSRDC roster linked from the recent-arrests guide.
- For same-day intake, read the Daily Arrest Report; for a broader booking window, use the Weekly Arrest Log.
- For custody alerts, use VINELink Inmate Check.
- For a Paintsville police incident or arrest report, contact the Paintsville Police Department records custodian. The Paintsville Recent Arrests page explains how that report differs from a BSRDC intake record.
- For a sentenced state offender, use the official Kentucky Department of Corrections KOOL search.
- For federal or immigration custody, follow the official federal locator routes described on the home page.
