Why We Built This Site
Missouri provides several public access routes, but each answers a different question. The Daviess County Sheriff's Office controls its incident and arrest reports. Daviess/DeKalb Regional Jail keeps booking and custody material. Circuit Clerk Sandy Dustman's office maintains filed circuit and associate-circuit cases, while Missouri Case.net supplies the online court search. The Missouri Automated Criminal History Site, MODOC Offender Search, and Missouri Sex Offender Registry cover separate statewide records. This site brings the verified contacts, fees, fields, and request steps for those sources into one local reference.
What You Will Find Here
- Local record routes: how to search and read Daviess County criminal court cases
- Official check steps: how MACHS name and fingerprint services differ from a county court file
- Verified contacts: where to reach the sheriff, regional jail, Circuit Clerk, and Missouri record systems
- Record relief basics: where an eligible Missouri expungement petition begins and which custodians may need notice
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site, not part of a Missouri court, police department, sheriff's office, jail, or state agency. Its role has firm limits:
- It cannot issue a certified case file, criminal history, or other official record
- It cannot submit Sunshine requests or Missouri expungement papers for a visitor
- It cannot run an official name-based or fingerprint record check
- It does not offer legal advice about a charge, warrant, sentence, or petition
- It cannot promise that an agency has not changed an address, fee, or procedure
Only the record custodian, such as the sheriff, Circuit Clerk, regional jail, or MSHP Central Repository, can provide an official copy.
Search Partners
Search boxes on some pages are operated by outside providers. Those providers control their results, prices, privacy practices, and service terms. A paid signup reached through a search box may produce a referral fee that supports site operation. The provider, not Daviess County Criminal History, processes the search and supplies any result.
