Monroe County record routing
For a Monroe County booking record, jail question, or the current official online-record route, start with the Monroe County directory and ask the sheriff for the records custodian and preferred Missouri Sunshine Law submission method. The accessible directory does not publish a records-unit email, so confirm delivery details by telephone before sending a request.

Non-emergency routing: Monroe County Joint Communications, Courthouse Room 301, 300 N. Main Street, Paris, MO 65275, 660-327-5175. It can route a non-emergency question but is not a booking-photo or jail-records office.
Keep a request narrow: name, approximate event date, known arresting agency, incident number if available, and the specific record sought. Under Missouri’s Sunshine Law, records should be made available as soon as possible and no later than the end of the third business day unless more time is reasonably necessary. The Missouri Attorney General’s Sunshine Law guidance explains the state process.
- For county booking, custody, release, transfer, or record questions, begin with the sheriff and the county booking and records path.
- For an identified court case or disposition, use Missouri Case.net and the Monroe County Circuit Clerk.
- For Monroe City agency routing, call Monroe City Police at 573-735-4585; Paris and Madison questions generally need the sheriff or the identified arresting agency.
- For Missouri state-supervision status, use the Missouri DOC Offender Search; it is not a recent county-booking roster.
- For a federal or immigration-custody question, use the relevant BOP or ICE locator, not a county source.
