Criminal Cases in the Circuit Court of Kendall County
In Illinois the public criminal record is the court file. Criminal cases from Plano are heard by the Circuit Court of Kendall County, which hears every civil, criminal, family, probate, traffic and juvenile case, and the file of each case is kept by the Circuit Clerk.
For Kendall County, SearchSystems opened and checked the court records page for the county at kendallcountyil.gov/offices/circuit-clerk/online-court-records (page title: Online Court Records | Kendall County, IL), phone 630-553-4183, 807 W John St, Yorkville, IL 60560, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
Illinois has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
The Illinois Criminal History and Your Own Copy
Illinois is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: conviction information is public under the Uniform Conviction Information Act, through the Illinois State Police. The result is the repository record, what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
To see your own record, the route is a name-based or fingerprint-based request to the Illinois State Police. The state page SearchSystems verified for it is at isp.illinois.gov/BureauOfIdentification/MyRecord.
Arrest Records Kept Locally in Plano
The Kendall County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Plano (filed by the FBI as Plano Police Department) keep the arrest records in and around Plano: the report and the booking record of each arrest stay with the agency that made it, separate from the court file and from the state repository.
The Joliet Police Department, the Plainfield Police Department, the Sandwich Police Department and two more are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Kendall County, so their arrests are not broken out for Kendall County here.
Together, the five agencies in Kendall County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 1,135 arrests to the FBI that year; how each case ended is in the court file, not in the arresting agency's.
The agencies and their counts, year by year, are in Plano arrest records.
The Crimes Behind the Records: Plano in 2025

An arrest report, a booking record or a local criminal history letter comes from the agency that holds it, not from the court.
