Which system is holding them?

There is no single search that covers everyone in Boone County. Match the situation to the right official locator — most families start with the first one.

If the arrest was recent

Start with the local jail

For a recent local arrest, check the arresting jurisdiction’s official jail roster or custody-notification service. Housing may be at a municipal, county, regional, or contracted facility. If no record appears, ask the arresting agency or jail how to confirm the booking; do not infer the destination from distance or a facility listing.

KY AG says VINE provides current status and location for people in local jails and adult correctional facilities statewide; includes certain juvenile offenders.

Call the published toll-free VINE line and follow prompts to get status and current jail or institutional address/phone. The state also links to online VINELink search. This is not an emergency contact or a direct jail line.

If nothing appears, contact the arresting agency or the responsible jail to ask how to confirm booking. A missing record does not prove release, and an agency may limit what it can disclose.

If they were sentenced to prison

Use the correctional locator

For a state-prison sentence, use the Kentucky correctional locator. A short jail sentence may still be served in a local or regional jail. A sentence alone does not establish the housing location; confirm with the responsible agency.

If the charge is federal

Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons

A federal charge does not tell you which building holds the person. The U.S. Marshals Service is responsible for federal pretrial detention and may use local, state, private, or federal facilities. Check the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator, but a missing result does not establish that the person is not detained. For a recent federal arrest, contact the arresting agency or the relevant U.S. Marshals district office to ask about the appropriate custody-information process. USMS is a contact route, not a public person locator, and disclosure of a location is not guaranteed.

Search the Federal BOP locator U.S. Marshals district directory

City and municipal custody assistance

Use the contact matching the agency that made the arrest. These researched municipal holding and transfer paths are separate from the county routes.

Florence city custody assistance

Kentucky Department for Local Government lists a Police Chief contact for Florence. Use this general agency contact to ask about a fresh local arrest or initial police custody and the agency responsible for follow-up. It is not listed as a jail, booking or dispatch hotline.

Florence published Police Chief contact

Call the published Police Chief contact and ask which agency currently holds the person, whether release or transfer has occurred, and which facility or agency should handle follow-up. The number was not called.

The current state-government profile identifies the municipal Police Chief role and this public contact. It does not establish an operating municipal jail, answered telephone, roster, hours, automatic county transfer or receiving facility. Another arresting force or tribal/federal custody may require a different contact.
