Boone County, Kentucky, has about 144,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Boone County depends on where the incident happened: the Boone County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Kentucky Open Records Act requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Boone County
A crime, incident or collision report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court, the jail or the prosecutor.
In Boone County that is the Boone County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
The FBI's list also carries Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport (other agency), with a records office of its own.

What the Kentucky Open Records Act Requires
Under the Kentucky Open Records Act the agency must answer a request within 5 business days, and it may charge the actual cost of copying, 10 cents a page for standard copies. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at boonecountykysheriff.com/open-records-2 (page title: Open Records | Boone County Sheriff's Office).
