The Kenton County Detention Center, located in Covington, Kentucky, is a bi-partisan constitutional office responsible for the incarceration and management of inmates in the county. Under the leadership of Jailer Marc Fields, the center operates in accordance with the Kentucky Revised Statutes, with all County Jailers and their deputies serving as Sworn State Peace Officers, equipped with the authority to make arrests and carry out other law enforcement duties.
As the only state in the union that elects its County Jailer, Kentucky stands out for its unique approach to the administration of its detention facilities. The Kenton County Detention Center upholds its commitment to public safety by providing inmate visitation guidelines, facilitating bond postings, managing inmate mail and commissary services, and ensuring that the community stays informed through various alerts and notifications.
