Contact details & office locations ↓Online services & information
Use the links below for official services and provider information. Check each service’s instructions and service area.
Read the official sheriff office information and use the contact or service section appropriate to your location.
Read the official sheriff concealed-carry permit instructions. This link does not establish an applicant’s eligibility or confirm submission.
Read the sheriff’s public-visiting rules and facility-specific schedules. Confirm the facility and current arrangements before visiting.
Read the sheriff’s actual Coroner Section information and use the coroner office contact. This is distinct from the court-appointed medical-expert role.
Read the sheriff’s reporting requirements, exclusions and FAQ. The page limits ordinary online incidents to KCSO unincorporated jurisdiction and directs other jurisdictions and state freeways to the responsible agency; an explicit resident identity-theft/financial-crime exception is described separately.
