Free Missouri Parole Search (Find Violators, Absconders & More)

Perform a free Missouri parole search to uncover more about active parolees in the state. You can also look up upcoming parole hearing dates, parole violators and absconders, and contact information for the officers supervising them.

While probation is given to individuals who have committed less serious offenses and served under supervision, parole gives already incarcerated offenders a chance to complete their sentences outside of correctional facilities in the community, also under the supervision of a parole officer.

This resource will explain how to conduct a Missouri parolee lookup free of cost.

How To Conduct a Free Missouri Parole Search (Verify Anyone’s Status)

Parole records are generally open to the general public for community safety. In Missouri, the state Department of Corrections (MODOC) manages the data of parolees and is responsible for supervising them.¹

The MODOC has an Offender Search Tool that can be used for free to look up details of active parolees in the state.²

Interested individuals can use full names (including first and last name) or DOC IDs to conduct a Missouri parolee search through the DOC search tool.

The tool provides a wide range of information in the results including date of birth, nature of the offense committed by the offender, mug shot, physical description, current location, permanent address, and parole officer assigned. The MODOC updates the database of the tool regularly so that citizens have access to the latest information.

In case residents have any queries about the information available on the MODOC search tool, they can email them to [email protected]. Furthermore, if a citizen is a crime victim, they can email their concerns and questions to [email protected].

In addition to that, another way of obtaining parolee information in Missouri is through the State Board of Probation & Parole. The Missouri Probation & Parole Board is a seven-member committee that hears offenders’ appeals on probation and parole.³

The committee, after hearing the cases, reviewing the offender’s behavior during their jail time, and assessing whether or not they can be considered as a public threat, gives the verdict.

The department can be contacted to find out about specific active parolees using the following information:

Missouri Board of Probation & Parole
3400 Knipp Dr.
Jefferson City Missouri 65109

Phone Number: 573-751-8488
Email: [email protected]

Interested citizens can visit the parole and probation board office during regular business hours (8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday) for parolee records (note that the office is closed during weekends and holidays). Furthermore, researchers can also call and email the department for records requests.

Execute a Search for Parole Violators & Runaways (Absconders)

People who have violated the terms of their early release are called parole violators whereas individuals who have fled from relative authorities during parole are termed as parole absconders.

The MODOC Offender Search Tool can be used by citizens for free to find out about active parole violators and absconders in the state. The tool will display the status of “Parole Violator” or “Parole Absconder” in the offender’s profile if such is the case.

Residents can use full names or DOC ID numbers to conduct a search for parole violators and absconders in Missouri. The results will show the primary details of the matching offenders, and upon clicking on their ID Numbers, searchers will be able to review more detailed profiles of the offenders.

In addition to that, searchers can also contact their local police departments to look up information about active parole violators and absconders. The Missouri Probation & Parole Board, which grants parole and probation privileges to individuals can also be called at 573-751-8488 or emailed at [email protected] for details of violators and runaways.

How To Look Up Inmates in a Missouri State Prison

The Missouri State Department of Corrections (MODOC) manages the correctional institutions in the state as well as the record of all currently incarcerated individuals.⁵

For the convenience of citizens, the department has launched an online Offender Search tool that can be used to look up inmates in the state prisons of Missouri. Researchers can perform searches using the inmate’s full name or their DOC ID numbers and the results will include physical description, mug shots, current custodial status, location, address, date of birth, and nature of offense committed by them.

The Missouri DOC can also be contacted directly for information about inmates using the following contact details:

Central Office of Missouri Department of Corrections

Jefferson City, MO, 65102

Phone Number: 573-751-2389
Fax: 573-526-0800

In case a person wants to contact a loved one incarcerated in one of the state prisons of Missouri, they can do so through phone calls, email, and mail. Offenders who are not on the restricted list can easily make outgoing phone calls (note that they cannot receive calls except in certain situations).⁶

Inmates can also send and receive emails on their JPay tablets through the services of Securer Technologies.⁷ Mail can be sent to the correctional facility where the inmate is serving their sentence (the DOC ID number must be mentioned along with address) however they will be scanned and made available to the inmate in digital form.

Inmates are also allowed to receive visitors; however, they must be pre-approved; a visitor application will have to be filled and submitted to the MODOC for this purpose.⁹

Family and friends can also transfer funds to incarcerated loved ones through JPay and money order or cashier’s check.

How To Look Up Parole Officers & Hearings in Missouri

A parole search can also help researchers look up parole officers and parole hearings in Missouri. To search parole officers assigned to parolees, the MODOC online parolee search tool can be used.

A parolee can be searched by their full name or DOC ID, and upon clicking on the DOC ID in the results, searchers will be able to check the complete profile of the offender. In this profile, there is a section on the assigned officer which will display the name of the supervision officer assigned to that parolee.
