Andrew County, Missouri, has about 18,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Andrew County Sheriff's Office and two city agencies. An arrest leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the Prosecuting Attorney files charges, a case in the Andrew County Circuit Court. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts each agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies, cities and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Andrew County
The Andrew County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Andrew County. It reported 73 arrests for 2025.
The FBI lists two cities in Andrew County with a reporting agency of their own, with the Census population and what each reported:
- Savannah, 5,076 residents: 30 arrests reported for 2024.
- Country Club, 2,495 residents: 1 arrests reported for 2020.
A city on that list is reported separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
How Many Arrests Each Agency Reports in Andrew County
Each agency reports its arrests to the FBI by month, and the FBI publishes them on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Andrew County Sheriff's Office: 73 for 2025, 170 for 2022 and 165 for 2021; 2023 and 2024 are missing months.
- Savannah: 30 for 2024, 79 for 2023, 82 for 2022, 67 for 2021, 114 for 2020 and 200 for 2019.
- Country Club: 1 for 2020 and 6 for 2019.
Together, the two agencies with all twelve months of 2022 on file reported 252 arrests that year. The same agencies with both 2022 and 2021 complete reported 252 in 2022 against 232 in 2021, up 8.6 percent.
Country Club reported only part of 2022 (10 months) and is left out of the totals.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Andrew County Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Andrew County is held at the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest, apart from the short stay some city departments' own holding cells allow; a person cited and released at the scene is not booked at all. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and the court file takes over from there.
On an average day in 2016 the jail held about 45 people. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
A person sentenced to prison serves the sentence in a facility of the Missouri Department of Corrections, whose inmate locator is at web.mo.gov/doc/offSearchWeb.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in Andrew County
An arrest in Andrew County can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: the case index of the Andrew County Circuit Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at andrewcounty.org/offices/circuit-court, phone 816-324-3624); the Prosecuting Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at andrewcounty.org/offices/prosecuting-attorney, phone 816-324-3535).
Statewide, Case.net is the Missouri courts' free statewide case search.
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. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Andrew County
An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. Under the Missouri Sunshine Law the agency must answer within 3 business days, and it may charge research time and copying.
- An arrest by the Andrew County Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit.
- An arrest in Savannah or Country Club: the records unit of the agency that reports for that city.
- A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the Prosecuting Attorney, 816-324-3535, handles discovery for pending cases.
- The court file of a case that was filed: the Andrew County Circuit Court, through the court records page at andrewcounty.org/offices/circuit-court, phone 816-324-3624.
- Your own statewide record: the same request described above, for your own name.
