Records Division
We are tasked with the daily processing of all the reports and correspondence created by sworn members of the Sheriff’s Office. We are also tasked with the data entry of all information into the Agency’s database. This information is obtained from the reports generated by the officers during the course of their investigations.
We also provide support services with many outside agencies such as the Junction City Police Department, Grandview Plaza Police Department, Geary County Attorney’s Office, Kansas Highway Patrol and Kansas Bureau of Investigation, to name a few. The personnel of this division are also tasked with insuring the reporting of criminal statistics and accident statistics to state and federal agencies as required.
We do not give personal record information over the telephone. Nor do we accept or reply to record requests via email due to the Personal Identifying Information regulations of KCJIS, only in person, by fax or mail.
