You may inquire about arrest records from a Police Department, especially if they are in charge of the arrest that occurred. Also, you may request to view someone else's arrest records via mail, in person, or by faxing a record request form. However, some PDs provide an Open Records Request Form, which may be downloaded on their website, filled out, and submitted online to process arrest record requests.

• Shelbyville Police Department
• Simpsonville Police Department

The Kentucky State Police (KSP) is subject to the Open Records Act (ORA) and therefore grants public records requests. Interested persons will be required to pay $0.10 per page for copies of records.
