Where to Direct a Request
Hancock County Sheriff's Office
Hancock County Administration Building
225 Main Cross Street, PO Box 427
Hawesville, KY 42348
270-927-6247
Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The Sheriff's Office handles arresting-agency questions, but Hancock County does not operate a jail. The Hancock County Jailer, Roger Estes, can be reached at 270-927-8770 at 225 Main Cross Street, PO Box 580, Hawesville, KY 42348. The official Breckinridge County directory lists the receiving detention center at 500 Glen Nash Lane, Hardinsburg, KY 40143, phone 270-756-6244. Use the office matched to the record:
- For an arrest report or booking photo, follow the records-request steps and ask whether the Sheriff, city police, Jailer, or receiving facility is the custodian.
- For a warrant question, use the county warrant guidance; non-emergency dispatch is 270-927-1311, and 911 is for an immediate threat.
- For a newly arrested person, compare the Daily Arrest Report route with the Weekly Arrest Log.
- For release or transfer alerts, use the VINELink Inmate Check and verify critical information with the detention center.
- For current local custody, contact the Breckinridge County Detention Center; there are no separate facility pages on this site.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Kentucky Department of Corrections' KOOL information and search route.
- For federal or immigration detention, use the official BOP inmate locator or ICE detainee locator.
