Henry County, Missouri, has about 23,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Henry County depends on where the incident happened: the Henry 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 Missouri Sunshine Law 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 Henry 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 Henry County that is the Henry 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.
Reports from the Henry County Sheriff's Office
The Henry County Sheriff's Office is the county agency; it had 112 violent and 177 property crimes reported for 2025 and reported 186 arrests for 2025.
Its reports come from its records unit. The office's page SearchSystems verified is its custody page, at henrymosheriff.gov/inmateSearch (page title: Henry County Sheriff’s Office, MO), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 27, 2026.
Reports from the City Agencies in Henry County
