Questions about official Bell County criminal records usually belong with the office that created or filed the document. The contacts below separate court files from sheriff reports and jail custody records. Bell County Criminal History is a private reference resource and cannot accept a government request or issue a record.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private resource cannot retrieve an official history, conduct an authorized check, correct a record, or receive an expungement filing. Contact the government custodian directly.

Need an Official Record?

Use the Bell County or Kentucky custodian that matches the record:

  • Court case files: Office of Circuit Court Clerk, Farmer Helton Judicial Center, 101 W. Park Ave., Pineville, KY 40977; 606-337-9900 or 606-337-2942
  • Sheriff-created reports: Bell County Sheriff's Office, 606-337-3102; ask for the current written request route
  • Booking and custody records: Bell County Detention Center, 214 W. Virginia Ave., Pineville, KY 40977; 606-337-5507
  • State criminal histories: Kentucky State Police Records Branch, Criminal Identifications and Records Section
  • Police incident reports: the city or state police agency that created the report
  • Expungement filings: the Bell court that holds the qualifying case

Court and jail addresses are both in Pineville, but they are separate custodians. Call before traveling because the court page does not publish a dependable daily counter schedule, and no verified sheriff records-counter hours were found.

The Bell County Clerk website, its open-records policy, and the standardized request form apply to that county office's own records. The County Clerk is not the Circuit Court Clerk and does not hold Bell criminal case files.
