- Sheriff, booking, jail, or warrant information: Cape Girardeau County Sheriff's Office and Justice Center, 216 N. Missouri St., Jackson, MO 63755; 573-243-3551; administrative hours are weekdays, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
- State criminal-history checks: Missouri State Highway Patrol, Criminal Justice Information Services Division, Central Repository, through the official MACHS name or fingerprint service

The sheriff is the logical contact for deputy reports and county booking records. Filed criminal cases belong to the Circuit Clerk instead, even when the sheriff made the arrest.
