Platte County Sheriff 72 Hour Booking

The Platte County Sheriff's Office runs the detention center and processes 72 hour booking arrests from across the county. This includes arrests by sheriff's deputies, the Kansas City Police Department (which covers parts of Platte County within Kansas City limits), and smaller municipal departments in Parkville, Riverside, and other communities.

The Kansas City International Airport sits in Platte County. That adds another layer of law enforcement activity. Airport police and federal agencies occasionally make arrests that get processed through Platte County's booking system. Because of the metro location, the volume of 72 hour booking records here is higher than in most Missouri counties of similar size.

Each 72 hour booking creates a record with the person's name, date of birth, charges, arresting agency, and booking time. The detention center staff enter this data into the system during intake. To check on a current inmate, call the Platte County Sheriff's Office or visit the detention center in Platte City.
