Madisonville KY Police Reports

Request Madisonville police records

Madisonville, Kentucky police reports are requested through the local records process. First confirm that Madisonville Police handled the event. A request for an existing police record is different from completing a new civilian collision-report form.

Use the Open Records Request (Police Dept. Records) form. It asks for requester contact information, a description of the requested records, commercial-use selection, Kentucky residency category, signature, and date. Helpful preparation details include the event date, location, and report number when available.

Requests are directed to the City Clerk, 67 N. Main Street, Madisonville, KY 42431, or [email protected]. The response decision period is five business days, excluding weekends and legal holidays. This is a response deadline, not a guaranteed record-delivery date. Email acknowledgment is a separate step; if an email acknowledgment is missing, the listed follow-up phone number is 270-824-2101.

Madisonville crash reports have separate rules

A crash report is a specific police-record product and does not represent every type of incident record. Madisonville Police lists crash-report access at 99 E Center Street, during regular business hours, with a $3 fee payable by cash or money order and phone contact at 270-824-2121.

BuyCrash is listed as an alternative crash-report option. Its checkout charge is separate from the Madisonville Police crash-report fee and should not be treated as the cost of every police-record request.

Kentucky crash-report access also has eligibility limits under KRS 189.635. Applicable parties, parents or guardians of minor parties, insurers, and attorneys may have access under the statute. A crash report is not an unrestricted public incident search.

Non-crash incident records and release limits

For non-crash incident records, the request is reviewed as a specific records request. The $3 crash-report fee does not automatically apply to other police records.

Record release may depend on applicable exemptions, redactions, and the City Clerk review of the requested record. Kentucky State Police open-records guidance explains that public records requests are subject to applicable exemptions and review requirements. Confirm any record-specific copy cost with the City Clerk instead of assuming the crash-report pricing applies.

Police reports are different from criminal-history checks

A Madisonville police report and a statewide criminal-history check answer different questions. If the goal is a Kentucky background check rather than a local police record, Kentucky State Police provides a separate background-check service.
