Johnson County Jail and Booking
The Johnson County jail is in Warrensburg. It serves as the central booking facility for the entire county. Warrensburg is home to the University of Central Missouri, which adds to the area's population and can contribute to booking volume. The sheriff's office handles law enforcement for unincorporated areas while Warrensburg, Knob Noster, and other towns have their own police.
The booking process follows Missouri standards. When an officer brings someone to the jail, staff take mugshot photos from the front and side. Fingerprints are collected and sent to the Missouri State Highway Patrol CJIS Division. All charges are logged in the system. Personal details go on file. A booking number is assigned and follows the case through the 17th Judicial Circuit.
Johnson County also houses some inmates from Kansas City through a contract arrangement. The city of Kansas City lists the Johnson County Jail as one of the facilities that holds KCPD and Municipal Court individuals. This means you may find Kansas City arrestees in the Johnson County inmate roster.
