Official Franklin County criminal records come from the government office that created or maintains them. The contacts below route court files, sheriff reports, Frankfort police records, and county or city administrative requests to the appropriate office in Frankfort.

This Is Not a Government Office. Franklin County Criminal History is a private reference site. It cannot obtain or correct records, conduct official background checks, or receive expungement papers. Those services remain with the responsible Kentucky or Franklin County office.
