Criminal Division

Our Mission

Our Mission is to provide accurate and timely record keeping in a respectful and professional manner.

The Criminal Division maintains records for all Felonies, Misdemeanors and Infractions filed by the Cole County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, and/or by a Grand Jury in session.

Crime Definitions

• A Felony is a crime of such nature where a sentence of more than one year imprisonment can be imposed.
• A Misdemeanor is any offense punishable by a fine and or incarceration for a maximum of a one year term in a local or county jail.
• An Infraction is any offense where there is no authorized term of imprisonment and can only be punished by a monetary fine. Many Traffic Violations, such as speeding are infractions.

Entries of court activity can be assessed on most cases through Your Missouri Courts.
