Before You Contact Us
Important: This site is not a government office and cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, remove a record, or pull official jail or court files.
Questions about a current inmate, release time, bond amount, visit, booking photo, or court date must go to the office that controls the record. Garrard County does not operate an active jail, so custody questions often require the holding facility first.
Garrard Sheriff and Dispatch
Use the Garrard County Sheriff's Office or dispatch when the arrest or transport location is unknown and the matter is current. Emergency matters should use 911.
