This Is Not a Government Office. We run a private reference site. We cannot pull criminal records, run official background checks, remove or correct a record, or accept expungement filings for anyone. For any of those, you need to reach the right government office directly.
Need an Official Record?
Use the custodian that matches the record sought in Perry County:
- Court case files: see criminal court case records, or contact the clerk of the court that heard the case
- Criminal records and rap sheets: contact the Illinois State Police Bureau of Identification
- Arrest, booking, and jail records: contact the Perry County sheriff's records unit
- Official background checks: order through the Illinois State Police Bureau of Identification
- Police reports and incident records: contact the agency that wrote the report
- Expungement and record sealing: file with the court that heard the case
For an arrest, incident, booking, or warrant-execution record, contact the Perry County Sheriff's Office, 12 East Water Street, Pinckneyville, IL 62274, at 618-357-5212. The jail's direct line is 618-357-6931.
Court files and certified copies come from Circuit Clerk Tricia Kelly Chandler, 1 Public Square, Floor 2, P.O. Box 219, Pinckneyville, IL 62274-0219. Call 618-357-6726 or fax 618-357-8336. The separate County Clerk does not hold criminal court dockets.
