The Pendleton County Sheriff's Office does not operate a detention facility; instead, it serves as the county's primary hub for law enforcement and administrative functions. The sheriff's office is tasked with a broad spectrum of responsibilities, including maintaining public safety, responding to emergencies, conducting criminal investigations, enforcing court orders, and providing administrative support. The sheriff and deputies ensure community security and are the first responders to law enforcement needs within the county.

When an individual is arrested in Pendleton County, the sheriff's office initiates the booking process, which involves documenting personal information, recording arrest details, and taking fingerprints and photographs. However, as there is no local holding facility, adult arrestees are transported to the Bourbon County Regional Detention Center in Paris, Kentucky, where they are securely detained and provided with essential services, such as housing, meals, medical care, and access to legal resources.

Transport responsibilities are divided between the sheriff’s office and the Pendleton County Jailer, Tony Gillespie. The sheriff's office handles prisoner transport during overnight hours from 8:00 pm to 5:00 am, Monday through Friday, as well as all weekend hours and out-of-state extraditions. In contrast, the jailer’s office oversees transports from 5:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday, in-state transfers, and court appearances.

For information on arrested individuals or bond amounts, the public may contact the Bourbon County Detention Center, and for court dates, the Pendleton County Circuit Clerk. Those needing details on current inmates can reach the Pendleton County Jailer's Office at (859) 654-4444. This collaborative arrangement allows the Pendleton County Sheriff's Office to focus on law enforcement within the county, while the Bourbon County Detention Center manages the secure housing and care of detainees. This partnership ensures that detainees are held in a facility equipped for security and logistical needs, supporting both public safety and the integrity of legal processes.

Visitation Information

The Pendleton Co Sheriff assumes a comprehensive role in law enforcement, encompassing duties such as patrolling, investigating crimes, making arrests, and executing warrants. This division of responsibilities allows the sheriff's team to concentrate on maintaining public safety and effective law enforcement operations, while detention services are outsourced to other jurisdictions due to the absence of a jail on-site.

The Sheriff's Office must coordinate with the nearby county jail or a regional jail to house their arrestees and you may call 859-654-4511 to get accurate information. This arrangement requires efficient collaboration and communication to transfer detainees to appropriate holding facilities where they can await trial or post bail. Consequently, there is no dedicated location within the sheriff's jurisdiction for visiting detainees, necessitating that family members and legal representatives travel to the external facilities where the arrestees are held.
