St. Charles Mugshots and Sunshine Law

Missouri's Sunshine Law governs public access to arrest records. Under § 610.100, arrest reports are public records. That includes mugshots from St. Charles bookings at the county jail. Records stay open when charges are filed within 30 days. Without charges, or after dismissal or acquittal, records can close under § 610.100.2.

Most St. Charles jail mugshots remain public because charges typically proceed. § 610.011 defaults to openness, and courts must read exceptions narrowly. Social Security numbers get redacted per § 610.035. You can submit records requests to either the St. Charles Police Department or the county Department of Corrections. Both must respond within three business days under the Sunshine Law.

The Attorney General's Sunshine Law page has templates and guidance for formal requests.
