Understanding City Booking Reports
Most Kentucky cities do not operate their own jails. Instead, they contract with county detention centers. When someone is arrested in a city, they are typically booked into the county jail. This is why city booking reports usually link to county resources.
For example, arrests in Louisville go to the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections. This is a county facility serving Jefferson County. Lexington uses the Fayette County Detention Center. Smaller cities rely on their county jailer to house inmates.
City police departments maintain arrest records separately. These show who officers arrested and when. But the actual booking report with mugshots and charges comes from the county jail.
