When individuals wanted by Kentucky State Law Enforcement are apprehended in another state, the Fugitive Extradition Division at the Office of the Fayette County Sheriff is called into action. Teams of deputies will drive or fly to wherever suspects are being held to bring them back to Kentucky to await the judicial process.

An important function of the Office of the Fayette County Sheriff is the extradition of fugitives who have been charged in Fayette County with felony offenses and have fled the state. These fugitives are held accountable for their offenses and extradited back to stand trial in Fayette County.<\/p>\n

Warrant information on a person charged with a felony offense is placed in a nation-wide computer system known as NCIC (National Crime Information Center) which is available to virtually every law enforcement agency across the country. Police contact with our wanted persons is confirmed through the NCIC system and the extradition procedures begin.<\/p>\n

All 50 states have extradition laws similar to those in Kentucky. Felony offenders who are captured in other states are normally returned within 90 days by the Office of the Fayette County Sheriff.<\/p>\n
