Bordering the mighty Ohio River, Meade County covers an area of approximately 329 square miles and is home to a population of around 28,602 residents. The county seat, Brandenburg, serves as the administrative hub, where the historic architecture tells stories of the past, including the notable Battle of Blue Licks, a significant event during the American Revolutionary War. While Brandenburg stands out as the largest city, the county also includes other communities such as Ekron and Muldraugh. Meade County is known for its rich history, scenic landscapes, and outdoor recreational activities, drawing visitors to its parks and waterways, particularly during the warmer months when fishing and boating become popular pastimes.
Law enforcement in Meade County is primarily overseen by the Meade County Sheriff's Office, which operates alongside local police departments to ensure public safety. The county’s detention facility serves as the main jail, holding individuals awaiting trial or serving short sentences. Arrest records and criminal records are maintained by both the sheriff's office and the local police departments, allowing the public to access information about offenses within the county. For those needing to conduct a booking or inmate search, resources are available online, and individuals can also visit the sheriff's office on Brandenburg's Hillcrest Drive for assistance. This transparency ensures that residents remain informed about local crime and safety issues.
