Why This Resource Exists
Missouri public-record law makes many jail and arrest records available, but the records are not kept in one database. A current custody listing, a booking-photo field, a criminal case entry, and a sentenced-offender locator can each answer a different question. The purpose here is to keep those record types distinct so Cass County readers do not treat a roster entry as a court judgment or a court case as proof of current custody.
