Pulaski County, Kentucky, has about 67,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate).

This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Kentucky Open Records Act requires of it.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Pulaski 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 Pulaski County that is the Pulaski 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 Unlawful Narcotics Investigation Treatment and Education (state agency) and Pulaski County Schools (other agency), each with a records office of its own.
