This is a private reference site, not a sheriff's office, jail desk, court clerk, or records custodian. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release an inmate, post bond, schedule a visit, or retrieve official booking records for you. Use the official office or locator that controls the record.
Official Clinton County Record Contacts
For current jail custody, start with the Clinton County Jail and Sheriff's Office. Sheriff AJ Carrel's office operates the local jail at the Plattsburg address below.

General county office hours are listed as 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday, closed legal holidays. Confirm jail lobby, visitation, bond, and records counter availability before traveling because booking and detention operations may not follow general office hours.
For criminal case records after an arrest, use Missouri Case.net or the Clinton County Circuit Court criminal phone line at 816-539-3755. The Clinton County Prosecuting Attorney is Brandi McClain, PO Box 285, Plattsburg, MO 64477, phone 816-539-3711, but charging decisions and prosecutor files are not the same as jail custody confirmation.
For booking records, arrest reports, or mugshot requests that are not available online, direct a written Missouri Sunshine Law request to the public body that keeps the record. Chapter 610 includes the custodian and timing rule in RSMo 610.023, the law-enforcement record provisions in RSMo 610.100, and closed-record exceptions in RSMo 610.021.
