How to Request Public Records from Daviess County Detention Center (step-by-step)
Need public records from Daviess County Detention Center? The process is straightforward once you know what to include and where to send your request. Follow these steps to avoid delays.
Put your request in writing and address it to the Official Custodian of Records. DCDC requires written requests for both copies and in-person inspection - verbal requests won't work.
Don't want to draft from scratch? DCDC offers an open-records request form that covers all the required details.
What Information Must Be Included
- ✓ Your signature
- ✓ The date
- ✓ Your address
- ✓ A statement that you are a Kentucky resident
- ✓ A phone number
Be specific about what you want. Describe the records clearly enough that staff can identify exactly what to pull. The more precise your request, the faster you'll get a response.
Mail your request to: Open Records Request, Daviess County Detention Center, 3337 Hwy 144, Owensboro, KY 42303.
You can also submit your request by email to openrecords@daviesscojail.org.
Planning to visit in person? The open-records office is open 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays.
Expect a written response within five business days of DCDC receiving your request. That clock doesn't include Saturdays, Sundays, or legal holidays - it starts the day after your request arrives.
Note: If you request to inspect records, DCDC will provide a suitable area for inspection, and inspection and copying are done only in the presence of DCDC staff.
Copies cost $0.10 per page, plus postage if you want them mailed.
You'll need to pay any fees before receiving your copies, whether picking up in person or having them mailed.
