Questions about official Hopkins County criminal records belong with the government office that created or keeps each file. Police agencies hold their own reports, the county jail holds booking data, and the court clerk keeps judicial case records. The routing here identifies the correct Hopkins County or Kentucky contact and explains what this private reference resource cannot provide.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference resource cannot retrieve criminal records, run official checks, correct or remove a record, or accept an expungement filing. Contact the government custodian directly for those services.

Need an Official Record?

Use the office tied to the record sought in Hopkins County:

  • Court case files: use the criminal court case records route or contact Hopkins Circuit Court Clerk Tanya M. Bowman at the appropriate criminal desk
  • Fingerprint-linked self-history: contact the Kentucky State Police Criminal Identification and Records Branch under the KSP self-check process
  • Booking and current county custody: call Hopkins County Jail at 270-821-6704; the elected jailer, not the sheriff, operates the jail
  • Statewide Kentucky court reports: order through the Administrative Office of the Courts FastCheck or One-Time Request service
  • Police and arrest reports: contact the agency that wrote the report; the Hopkins sheriff keeps only its own agency reports
  • Expungement records and filings: use the Hopkins Circuit Court Clerk for a case filed in Hopkins County after following current Kentucky eligibility and certification steps

Clerk hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.; the main line is 270-824-7502, Circuit Criminal is 270-824-7501, and District Criminal is 270-824-7507 or 270-824-7508.
