Choose the Correct Office
Martin County uses a regional booking system, so the right contact depends on the question. No separate records-unit hours or direct records line were published for the sheriff or jail. Call before mailing a request or visiting, and ask for the records custodian and current office hours.

Use these routes according to the kind and stage of the record:
- For a booking record or photo, begin with the sheriff and BSRDC; the home page explains the request path.
- For someone just booked or currently held, check BSRDC and call its main line if the roster is unclear.
- For release or transfer alerts, use Kentucky VINE; for a later court outcome, contact the circuit court clerk.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Kentucky Department of Corrections KOOL search.
- For federal custody at USP Big Sandy or immigration detention, use the federal BOP or ICE locator, not the county jail.
- For emergencies, call 911. Martin County dispatch is 606-298-3211; its administrative line is 606-298-2088 and is not a records-request substitute.
