To find inmate records in Caldwell County, Missouri, you can utilize both online and offline resources. Online, the Missouri Department of Corrections Offender Search (available at doc.mo.gov) is a primary tool, allowing you to search state inmate records by name or DOC number. However, for inmates housed specifically in the Caldwell County Detention Center, visit the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office website (caldwellcountymo.gov/sheriff) or contact their office directly to inquire about a local inmate roster, as not all local inmate information is posted online. Offline, you may visit or call the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office located at 54 N Franklin St, Kingston, MO 64650, or phone them at (816) 586-2681 for the most up-to-date inmate information. For additional records, you can also visit the Caldwell County Courthouse to access court case files or jail records in person. Always be prepared to provide identifying details about the inmate to assist with your request.
