NO FCRA USE. Jefferson County Criminal History is privately owned and has no connection to a local, Kentucky, or federal government body. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency. This site and its advertising partners do not offer tools for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The website only helps readers locate criminal-record resources for Jefferson County, Kentucky.
1. What This Website Is
This private reference site operates independently of government. It cannot file documents, conduct an official background check, retrieve a government file, or store official criminal records.
The site routes readers to custodians such as the Jefferson Circuit Court Clerk, Louisville Metro Police Department, Louisville Metro Department of Corrections, Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, Kentucky State Police Criminal Identification and Records Branch, and Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry. Kentucky Open Records Act access under KRS 61.870 through 61.884, and dissemination limits in KRS 17.150 and KRS 17.151, apply through the relevant public custodian rather than through this private website.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use of this website is conditioned on an agreement not to:
- Operate a bot, scraper, or other automated collection tool against the pages
- Interfere with performance or prevent another visitor from using the site
- Attempt unauthorized entry into any account, service, or system
- Use site information to threaten, stalk, or harass a person

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No person may use information from this site or a linked service to intimidate, discriminate against, threaten, stalk, or harass another person. Such conduct may also violate criminal law. Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry information is published for public safety awareness, not vigilantism, housing discrimination, employment blacklisting, or retaliation against someone shown in the registry. Kentucky law may impose criminal penalties for misuse.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Jefferson County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and produces no credit report, consumer report, or background check. Its advertising partners likewise do not provide site services intended to assess job applicants, rental applications, insurance rates, or creditworthiness. Data from this website or a linked tool must not be used to:
- Perform any other activity governed by the FCRA
- Determine eligibility for a permit, license, or government program
- Set an insurance premium or assess creditworthiness
- Evaluate a prospective renter or housing applicant
- Make a decision to hire or terminate a person
A check needed for a regulated purpose must come from the proper official channel or a screening company that complies with the FCRA, not from this site.
5. No Legal Advice
The material here is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Kentucky attorney can advise how an expungement rule, warrant, conviction, or pending charge affects a particular situation in Jefferson County.
6. No Warranties
All services and content are supplied "as is," without a promise that:
- An outside search provider's results will be accurate or complete
- Every page will be free from bugs, errors, or security weaknesses
- The website will remain available without interruption
- Any information will be current, complete, or accurate at a given moment
Charges may be filed, changed, dismissed, sealed, or expunged, so criminal-record information can change quickly and gaps may occur. No page on this site is an official statement from a court, sheriff, police department, corrections office, or other government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may open a court portal, Louisville or Jefferson County office, Kentucky agency, legal-aid organization, or independent search service. We do not control an outside site's availability, charges, content, or data practices and accept no responsibility for them. Review that provider's terms before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Jefferson County Criminal History or its content partners own the text, graphics, logos, and code presented here. Written permission is required before anyone copies, changes, distributes, or creates a derivative work from that material.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we have no liability for damage arising from use of this website, including reliance on information found here or through an outside linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to protect and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or proceedings caused by your site use or violation of these terms, including associated legal fees and costs.
11. Governing Law

12. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be revised at any time. A revision becomes effective when the new text is posted on this page.
