Questions about an official Thurston County criminal record belong with the government office that maintains it. The routes below identify the sheriff, court clerks, and Nebraska repository by record type. Thurston County Criminal History is a private reference resource and cannot retrieve, certify, change, or file a government record.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private resource cannot conduct an official background check, retrieve a criminal file, correct a disposition, remove a record, or accept a Nebraska set-aside petition.

Official sources differ between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m. opening, so call first. The Clerk of District Court is also at 106 S. 5th St.; check the official county page for its current direct line.
  • Arrest, booking, jail, and local incident records: call the Thurston County Sheriff and dispatch at 402-385-6210. The current PSC listing gives 605 S. 2nd St., Pender, NE 68047. Confirm the preferred written-request route and hours before visiting.
  • Criminal records and RAP sheets: use the Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division, 4600 Innovation Drive, Lincoln, NE 68521, 402-479-4971. Public reports cost $30 per person.
  • Police or tribal incident reports: contact the agency or sovereign custodian named on the citation or report. County offices may not hold a tribal record.
  • Set-aside filings: file in the Nebraska court that imposed the sentence; ask the appropriate Thurston clerk about current forms and fees.
  • Registry verification: contact the sheriff at 402-385-6210 to confirm the appointment location, or use the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry for public searches.
