Questions about official Moniteau County criminal records belong with the agency that created or maintains the file. The contacts below distinguish the Sheriff and jail on East Buchanan Street from the Circuit Court at the courthouse and California Police at City Hall. This private reference site cannot receive a public-records request or issue a certified document.

This Is Not a Government Office. Moniteau County Criminal History is a private reference site. It cannot retrieve or correct a record, perform an official check, or receive an expungement filing. Those services must come from the responsible government office.

Need an Official Record?

Use the following Moniteau County routes for the record involved:

  • Filed charges, judgments, and certified court copies: start with the Moniteau County court case lookup, then ask the Circuit Clerk at 200 E. Main St., California, MO 65018; a stable local clerk phone and counter hours were not verified, so check the 26th Judicial Circuit directory before visiting
  • Sheriff arrest, booking, jail, and local warrant records: call 573-796-2525 or visit 1221 E. Buchanan St., California, MO 65018, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
  • Written Sheriff requests: confirm the custodian by phone; fax is 573-796-4057, and mail may be addressed to the Custodian of Records at the Buchanan Street office
  • State criminal-history checks: use the Missouri State Highway Patrol CJIS Division and its MACHS name or fingerprint channel
  • California police reports: contact City Hall at 500 S. Oak St., California, MO 65018, 573-796-2500, or policechief@cityofcalifornia.net; the after-hours nonemergency line is 573-796-8416
  • Expungement filings: contact the court that handled the charge and use the current Missouri Courts forms

The Sheriff does not publish a separately named records division, local fee sheet, or formal online request portal. Call before sending a request, and ask for the correct custodian, available format, and cost estimate.
