This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, post bond, schedule visits, or retrieve official booking records. Use the official Greenup County, Kentucky court, state, or federal contact below for those tasks.
Where to Ask for Greenup County Records
Greenup County uses separate offices for jail custody, sheriff functions, court records, prosecution, public-safety communications records, and state or federal custody lookups. Start with the office that matches the record you need.
Jail Custody and Booking Questions
Greenup County Detention Center / Greenup County Jailer Larry Pancake
100 Laurel St., Greenup, KY 41144
Phone: (606) 473-9660
Fax: (606) 473-6080
Call the detention center for recent bookings, custody status, bond verification, property questions, visitation status, inmate-mail format, and whether a booking sheet or photo can be requested. The official county source did not publish a public online roster.
Sheriff, Warrants, and Law-Enforcement Records
Greenup County Sheriff Matt Smith
Greenup County Courthouse, 301 Main St., P.O. Box 318, Greenup, KY 41144
Office: (606) 473-9833 or (606) 473-7037
Dispatch / non-emergency: (606) 473-1411; county information also notes 311 for non-emergency dispatch
Emergency: 911, with text 911 available when calling is not possible
Hours: Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM-4:30 PM
The sheriff's office is the better route for warrant procedure, civil or judicial service, sheriff records, and non-emergency law-enforcement routing. Jail custody questions should still go to the detention center.
Court Records After Arrest
Greenup County Circuit Court Clerk Allen Kent Reed
Greenup County Courthouse Annex, 101 Harrison St., Greenup, KY 41144
Phone: (606) 473-9869 or (606) 473-9860
Hours: Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM-4:30 PM; closed Saturday and Sunday
Use the clerk for official case records, copies, older case-file routing, and questions about District Court or Circuit Court filings after an arrest. Online docket searches are available through Kentucky Court of Justice, but docket results are not the same as certified court records.
Prosecutor Offices
Greenup County Attorney Matthew Warnock
Greenup County Courthouse, 301 Main St., Room 201, Greenup, KY 41144
Phone: (606) 473-7855
Fax: (606) 473-7842
Hours: Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM-5:00 PM, except Thursday 9:00 AM-12:00 PM
20th Judicial Circuit Commonwealth's Attorney Rhese McKenzie
201 Harrison Street, Greenup, KY 41144
Phone: (606) 473-7978
Fax: (606) 473-9485
Kentucky uses county attorneys and commonwealth's attorneys rather than district attorneys. The county attorney is relevant to misdemeanor, local, juvenile, child-support, and other county legal functions. Felony Circuit Court prosecution is handled by the Commonwealth's Attorney for Greenup and Lewis counties.
Public Safety Open Records
For CAD entries, call replay, or radio traffic, use the Greenup County Public Safety open-records form at greenuppublicsafety.com/openrecordsrequest. The form offers delivery choices of pickup, fax, mail, or email. It is not a jail roster form, but it can help with dispatch or incident context around an arrest.
Custody Locators Outside the Local Jail
- For a person who may be in the county jail, start with jail inmate records and the detention center phone number.
- For booking-photo questions, use jail roster mugshots and ask the jail whether a Kentucky Open Records Act request is required.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the Circuit Court Clerk.
- For the local facility, use the Greenup County Detention Center facility page.
- For a sentenced Kentucky offender, search Kentucky Online Offender Lookup at kool.corrections.ky.gov. KOOL is separate from a county booking roster.
- For custody notifications, use Kentucky VINE at VINELink or call 1-800-511-1670. VINELink is also the relevant mobile custody-notification app; no official Greenup sheriff or jail roster app was confirmed.
- For federal custody, use the BOP inmate locator. BOP records cover federal inmates from 1982 to the present.
- For immigration detention, use ICE Online Detainee Locator System. ICE searches are separate from Greenup County jail, KOOL, and BOP.
