Henry County, known for its rich history and charming rural landscape, spans approximately 286 square miles in north-central Kentucky. With a population of around 15,416 residents, the county seat is the quaint town of New Castle, which serves as the administrative and cultural heart of the region. Major cities include Eminence and Campbellsburg, which contribute to the county's agricultural economy and local community events. Henry County is particularly noted for its historical significance, having been the site of the Civil War's Battle of Henry County in 1862, as well as home to the oldest courthouse in Kentucky, the Henry County Courthouse, built in 1868 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Public safety in Henry County is bolstered by the dedicated efforts of the Henry County Sheriff's Office, which oversees law enforcement throughout the area. The Sheriff's Office works alongside local police departments to maintain order and safety, while the county's detention facility houses individuals awaiting trial or serving short sentences. Arrest records and criminal records are public documents that can be obtained through the Sheriff's Office or the local courthouse. For those needing to conduct a booking or inmate search, the process typically involves checking the inmate roster available on the county's official website or contacting the detention facility directly for the most up-to-date information on arrests and inmate status.
