NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no connection to a local, Kentucky, or federal government body. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify Metcalfe County and Kentucky record resources. It is neither a consumer reporting agency nor a private investigation service.
1. What This Website Is
This private reference site is independent from all government offices. It does not store official records, perform official checks, retrieve case files, or submit forms for a visitor.
Its content identifies Metcalfe County custodians, including the sheriff, Metcalfe Circuit Court Clerk, Kentucky State Police, and the Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry, as well as outside research tools. The Kentucky Open Records Act, KRS 61.872, governs qualifying requests to public agencies. KRS 17.150 keeps the centralized criminal-history system from becoming an unrestricted public database.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use is conditioned on compliance with these limits. You must not:
- Interfere with site access or performance
- Use bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools
- Attempt unauthorized access to any system or data
- Use information to stalk, threaten, or harass a person
- Rely on site content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
- Violate a federal, Kentucky, or local law
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information obtained here or through a linked tool may not be used to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate. Kentucky registry information exists for public awareness and safety, not vigilantism. Misuse of Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry data may result in criminal penalties, including under Kentucky's harassment statutes.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and produce no consumer report, credit report, or background check. The same is true of the service presented here by advertising partners. Information from the site or a linked tool may not be used to:
- Make a credit or insurance decision
- Evaluate a housing applicant or renter
- Make a hiring or termination decision
- Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
- Serve any other purpose regulated by the FCRA
A legally permissible check for such a purpose must come from Kentucky State Police or a provider that complies with the FCRA and all other applicable law.
5. No Legal Advice
The content is general information, not legal advice. A licensed Kentucky attorney must assess how a warrant, charge, conviction, or expungement law applies to a particular case.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are supplied "as is." No promise is made that:
- An outside search result will be complete or accurate
- Content will always be current, correct, or complete
- The service will remain uninterrupted
- Every page will be free from bugs, errors, or security flaws
Charges, dispositions, seals, and expungement orders can change a record. Gaps and delays are possible. Only a statement or document from the agency that maintains the record is official.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links lead to courts, police agencies, Kentucky offices, legal resources, and outside services. We do not operate those destinations and accept no responsibility for their content, privacy practices, prices, or availability. Their own terms apply.
8. Intellectual Property
Metcalfe County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required to copy, distribute, modify, or create derivative material.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss or damage arising from use of the website, its information, or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or proceedings caused by your use of the website or breach of these terms, including related legal costs.
11. Governing Law
Kentucky law governs these terms. Any dispute tied to use of the website must be brought in a court located in Kentucky.

These terms may be revised at any time. A revision takes effect when the updated text is posted here.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be limited or ended at any time, with or without advance notice.
14. Severability
