The Missouri Criminal History and Your Own Copy
Missouri is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: the open record search on the MACHS site lets anyone check convictions by name, through the Missouri State Highway Patrol Criminal Justice Information Services Division. 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.
Arrest Records Kept Locally in Parkville
The Platte County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Parkville (filed by the FBI as Parkville Police Department) keep the arrest records in and around Parkville: 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 FBI's agency list also places one more agency in Platte County: Kansas City International Airport (other agency); it keeps the records of its own arrests.
The Smithville Police Department and the Kansas City Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Platte County, so their arrests are not broken out for Platte County here.
Together, the seven agencies in Platte County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 2,702 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 Parkville arrest records.
