Sheriff Larry Fish leads the department. Chief Deputy Trevor Ballard is second in command. The jail has 40 beds and 7 officers.

Clinton County Booking Report Laws
Missouri's Sunshine Law protects your right to access Clinton County booking reports. RSMo 610.100 makes all arrest reports open records. Investigative reports stay closed until the case becomes inactive. An investigation becomes inactive when charges are not pursued, the statute of limitations expires, or all appeals are exhausted. These rules apply the same way in Clinton County as in every other Missouri county.
If an arrest does not result in charges within 30 days, the report closes to the public. Only the disposition portion stays open. RSMo 610.120 says closed records cannot be destroyed. They remain on file but become inaccessible to the general public. Criminal justice agencies and certain authorized entities can still access closed records for specific purposes laid out in the statute.
The Missouri Attorney General publishes a Sunshine Law manual that explains these rules in plain language. If you believe Clinton County improperly denied a records request, the AG's office can investigate the complaint.
RSMo 610.200 requires Clinton County law enforcement to keep daily logs of crimes and complaints. These logs are public and show time, substance, and location. They can help you pinpoint when specific arrests were made if you know the approximate date but not the person's name. The Missouri Sex Offender Registry also covers Clinton County and is searchable by name, address, or county.
