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 Wildwood
The agency that reports for Eureka keeps the arrest records in and around Wildwood: 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 two other agencies and three campus police departments in St. Louis County (the arrest records guide names each one); each keeps the records of its own arrests.
The Pacific Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including St. Louis County, so its arrests are not broken out for St. Louis County here.
Eureka reported 332 arrests to the FBI for 2025; 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 Wildwood arrest records.
The Prosecuting Attorney for St. Louis County
The Prosecuting Attorney decides which arrests in St. Louis County become charges and files them in the St. Louis County Circuit Court; the office answers questions about pending prosecutions, and the case files themselves are court records.

Registered sex offenders living in Wildwood are listed on the Missouri Sex Offender Registry, run by the Missouri State Highway Patrol at mshp.dps.missouri.gov/CJ38/searchRegistry.jsp. The registry is public and can be searched online.

Asking an Agency in St. Louis County for a Record
An arrest report, a booking record or a local criminal history letter comes from the agency that holds it, not from the court.
