NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with a local, Kentucky, or federal government body. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service intended for credit decisions, employment screening, tenant screening, insurance underwriting, or another use regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Boyd County Criminal History is a records-resource guide, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site that operates independently of government. We neither store official criminal records nor obtain records, conduct official background checks, or submit filings for visitors.
Our pages direct readers to Boyd County courts and agencies, the Kentucky State Police Criminal Identification and Records Branch, and the Kentucky Sex Offender Registry. The Kentucky Open Records Act, KRS 61.870 through 61.884, including KRS 61.872, governs eligible requests to public agencies. KRS 17.150 and 502 KAR 30:060 set separate rules for criminal-history reporting and dissemination. Those laws do not make this site an official records custodian.
2. Rules for Using This Site
When using this site, you agree not to:
- Attempt to enter systems or data you are not authorized to access
- Use bots, scrapers, or other automated processes on the pages
- Harass, stalk, or threaten a person by using information found here
- Disrupt performance or prevent another visitor from accessing the site
- Use site content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
- Violate any applicable federal, Kentucky, or local law
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
You may not use content from this website or a linked service to intimidate, threaten, stalk, harass, or discriminate against anyone. This restriction is especially important for Kentucky Sex Offender Registry information. Kentucky law can impose criminal consequences for misuse against a registrant. Registry publication supports public safety awareness and does not authorize vigilantism, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not produce credit reports, background checks, or any other consumer report. Our advertising partners and this site do not offer tools designed to evaluate applicants, renters, insurance risk, or creditworthiness. You must not use site or linked-tool data to:
- Evaluate eligibility for a license, permit, or public program
- Make an employment or termination decision
- Assess a renter or housing applicant
- Set an insurance premium or judge creditworthiness
- Carry out any other activity subject to FCRA requirements
A check needed for a regulated purpose must be obtained through an authorized Kentucky State Police process or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
The site's information is not legal advice. General explanations of Boyd County records cannot determine how a warrant, charge, conviction, or expungement law affects an individual matter. Consult a lawyer licensed in Kentucky for that guidance.
6. No Warranties
All website material is supplied "as is." We make no guarantee that:
- A partner search result will be accurate or complete
- The site will remain available without interruption
- Every page is free from errors, bugs, or security vulnerabilities
- Information will be complete, accurate, or current at all times
Criminal records can change as charges are filed, amended, dismissed, or expunged. Information gaps are unavoidable even when pages are reviewed. No statement here is an official representation by the Boyd County clerk, sheriff, or another government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may point to the Boyd County Sheriff's Office, Kentucky court portals, state agencies, legal-aid organizations, and outside search providers. A linked destination is beyond our control. We are not responsible for its content, data practices, pricing, or availability. Review that service's own terms before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Boyd County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required before copying, distributing, modifying, or creating derivative material from that content.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damages arising from website use, including actions based on information obtained here or through a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or legal proceedings caused by your website use or violation of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.
11. Governing Law
Kentucky law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of this website must be brought in a court located in Kentucky.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms at any time. An updated version takes effect when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access to the website may be restricted or terminated at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
14. Severability
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected term will be modified only to the extent required for enforcement.
