Floyd County Criminal Records Office

The Floyd County Clerk's Office at 311 W 1st St in New Albany is where criminal history records are kept.

Staff will look up cases by name or by case number. Bring your ID when you visit.

Criminal cases in Floyd County range from minor misdemeanors to serious felonies. Every case that goes through the court creates a record that stays with the Clerk's Office. These records include the charging documents, plea information, trial records if there was a trial, and the final disposition. Under IC 10-13-3, criminal history record information includes all of this data. Floyd County follows the state rules for how this information gets stored and shared. You can request records during normal business hours at the courthouse. The Clerk can also tell you if a record has been sealed or expunged.

How to Search Floyd County Criminal History Online

You have two main ways to search criminal history in Floyd County from your computer. The MyCase portal is the free option. Run by the Indiana courts, it lets you search by name or case number across all state courts. You get basic case details like charges, hearing dates, and case status. MyCase is a good starting point for Floyd County criminal history research, but it is not the official record.

For a more formal search, use the ISP Limited Criminal History tool. The Indiana State Police runs this service. It costs $15.70 per search when you pay by credit card. The results cover felonies and Class A misdemeanors from across Indiana. You get a PDF that is good for 14 days. Print it or save it right away. The ISP database gets its data from local agencies like the Floyd County courts and Sheriff, so the results reflect what those agencies have reported to the state.

Note: A search that returns "no records found" is still a valid result and you will be charged the full fee.

Public Records Law and Floyd County

The Access to Public Records Act at IC 5-14-3 gives everyone the right to see public records in Indiana. Criminal case files in Floyd County are public unless a judge has ordered them sealed. You do not need to explain why you want the records. Just ask the Clerk.

Expunged records are the main exception. Under IC 35-38-9, people can petition to have certain criminal records sealed. The waiting period depends on the crime. Some misdemeanors can be expunged after five years. Felonies take longer, and some cannot be expunged at all. If someone has had a record expunged in Floyd County, it will not show up in a public search. The Clerk's Office can tell you if a record you are looking for has been sealed by court order.

Floyd County in the Statewide Court System

The Odyssey system handles more than 2 million cases a year statewide. It supports features like wildcard searching, payment tracking, and scheduling. For the public, the front end is MyCase. For court staff and judges, Odyssey provides the full case management tools. Floyd County has been part of this system since the statewide rollout, and all new cases get entered into it.

Criminal history data from Floyd County also flows to the Indiana State Police through law enforcement reporting channels. The ISP acts as the central repository under IC 10-13-3. Records stay in the ISP database until the person dies or reaches age 99 without a new criminal act for 15 years. This means criminal history checks through the ISP can pull up very old cases from Floyd County if they were reported to the state.
