Johnson County Supervision Office
District 5S at Warrensburg belongs to the Missouri Department of Corrections Division of Probation and Parole. It does not hold people in cells and does not create the county jail release timestamp. Its role begins when a state prisoner reaches parole or conditional release, or when a court places a person on MODOC probation. The office can confirm public supervision details for an assigned person and route status questions to the proper officer.
The current MODOC address listing calls the location District 5S. An official Department resource guide uses District 5 and says the office serves Johnson and Henry counties. That naming difference should be preserved, not treated as proof that one source is wrong. Confirm current office information before relying on it because names, hours, and assignments can change.
| Status | What it means | Office role |
|---|---|---|
| Probation | Community supervision ordered by a court | Confirms assignment and public term |
| Parole | Board release under conditions | Supervises after prison exit |
| Conditional release | Supervised sentence portion | Confirms active field supervision |
| Final discharge | Relevant supervision has ended | Historical confirmation may be needed |
Verify Johnson County Supervision
Start with the official MODOC Offender Web Search. It searches first and last name, including aliases, for active prisoners, probationers, and parolees. It does not return discharged offenders. Compare the DOC ID, name, birth information, case or offense details, and location. A field-office location can support community supervision, while an institution supports current state prison custody.
Call the official assigned office after finding the match. Provide the correctly spelled name and DOC ID. Ask whether the person is presently under MODOC supervision, which office holds the assignment, and whether the publicly releasable status is probation, parole, or conditional release. Public information may include the current offense, sentence or judgment, county of conviction, supervision term, conditions, officer or office, custody or bond status, parole or conditional-release date, and Board release decision. Protected facts remain unavailable.
- Search the active MODOC tool and compare identity fields.
- Record the DOC ID and assigned field location.
- Call the official District 5S number if Warrensburg is shown.
- Ask only for the public status and term that matter.
- Use the historical file to investigate final discharge.
District 5S Release Contact
The MODOC address listing places District 5S at 505 North Ridgeview Drive, Suite D, Warrensburg, Missouri 64093, with phone 660-543-7920. The official District 5 resource guide lists fax 660-543-7946 and weekday hours from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The guide also identifies service for Johnson and Henry counties.
District 5S – Warrensburg
505 N. Ridgeview Drive, Suite D
Warrensburg, MO 64093
660-543-7920
Fax: 660-543-7946
Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
Use the field office for active supervision questions. Use MODOC Constituent Services for an individual state-record question when the assignment is unclear. Use the Missouri Parole Board for Board correspondence or a Board record. A county Sheriff cannot confirm a state supervision end date merely because a Johnson County jail booking closed.
Johnson County Supervision Records
The active public search is limited by design. A fully discharged person is excluded, and some active records may be unavailable for safety, security, or confidentiality reasons. For a historical path, use the nightly MODOC all-offenders file. It covers people who are or have been under Department supervision and includes a Completed Flag, locations, causes, sentence terms, charges, and official sentence-date fields.
A Completed Flag must be read at the sentence-row level. One person can have more than one sentence or supervision record. Sentence-I Minimum Release Date is a calculated minimum threshold, not the prison exit or final discharge. Sentence Maximum Release Date is an expiration field. Ask for a targeted explanation when the row does not clearly establish the event.
For a specific MODOC release or discharge record, write OD.SunshineRequest@doc.mo.gov. Board records go to ParoleBoard.SunshineRequest@doc.mo.gov. Ask for the existing public record of supervision start, status, assigned office, termination or discharge date, and any public Board decision. The Johnson County court clerk holds court judgments and probation orders, which may be separate from MODOC’s operational supervision record.
- Physical release
- The person leaves a jail or prison.
- Supervision
- The person remains subject to reporting and other lawful conditions in the community.
- Discharge
- The relevant supervision term ends.
- Absconder
- A person alleged to have stopped reporting or become unavailable, not a person whose sentence ended.
Johnson County Parole Decisions
The Missouri Parole Board controls parole decisions under state law. A hearing date is not a release date. The official process says scheduling depends on sentence length and that a decision ordinarily takes about eight to twelve weeks. A hearing can produce a future release date or another hearing one to five years later. The posted rules and appendices offer guidance, but the Board warns that time-to-serve guidelines do not guarantee release.
Parole does not pardon the conviction or shorten the sentence into a final discharge. The person remains in DOC legal custody while living under conditions. Conditional release also carries supervision. Confirm a Board release decision through the public MODOC record, assigned office, or Board record, then confirm the actual prison departure with the institution or custody record.

Johnson County Supervision Discharge
Earned Compliance Credit is a supervision concept, not prison good time. Under Missouri section 217.703, an eligible probation, parole, or conditional-release supervisee may receive thirty days of credit for a full compliant calendar month. Credit does not accrue during violation or absconder status and can be affected by revocation. MODOC describes early discharge as final release from supervision before the scheduled end.
These credits can change a supervision end date, but they cannot be used to predict a prison gate date. Ask the field office for the public current term and whether a final discharge is documented. An active-search disappearance alone is not enough because data limits and confidentiality can also affect visibility. The Johnson County Probation & Parole page provides the broader supervision and discharge workflow.
Johnson County Absconder Checks
MODOC describes a Command Center that works with law enforcement to develop leads concerning absconders. No official public statewide absconder or wanted-person list was located. Do not treat a commercial list or a missing active-search result as an official clearance. Search the active offender tool, contact the assigned field office, inspect relevant court warrant entries, and use law-enforcement confirmation when legally appropriate.
An absconder allegation means the person may have stopped reporting or become unavailable to supervision. It does not mean final discharge, and it does not by itself prove present jail custody. Record the source and time of each status check because warrants, arrests, and assignments can change.
Johnson County Release Office Distinction
The Warrensburg supervision office, the Centerview adult detention center, and the Warrensburg Justice Center perform different functions. District 5S manages state community supervision. The Sheriff documents county bookings and departures. The Justice Center contains the courts, clerk, prosecutor, and juvenile functions. Juvenile records are confidential and do not belong in an adult name search.
Contract-city holds create another route. A Centerview release may return someone to an originating municipality instead of placing that person under MODOC. Check the booking’s holding agency and court. Use District 5S only when the state record or court authority actually establishes MODOC supervision.
Johnson County Release Buildings
The adult Detention Center at Centerview and the Justice Center at Warrensburg are not alternate names for District 5S. The Justice Center complex dates to the 2001–02 construction project and serves courts, clerk and prosecutor functions, and juvenile detention. District 5S occupies its own Ridgeview Drive office. This local history explains why an adult custody record, a court order, and a supervision record come from three different places.
Send each question to its creator. The Sheriff can verify when the county booking ended. The court can provide the judgment, probation order, or later discharge entry. District 5S can verify active MODOC field supervision. A transfer back to a contract municipality belongs to that city rather than the Warrensburg field office. No one address serves as a complete Johnson County release file.
Johnson County Contract Releases
The Centerview jail’s released roster can include holds from Kansas City-area municipalities. Official city sources confirm contract custody, so a local release timestamp may mark return transport to the city that owns the hold. That event does not create a District 5S assignment. Read the holding agency and court before selecting a supervision search.
When the state active-offender record identifies Warrensburg, District 5S is the proper local contact. When a municipal hold is shown, contact the originating city and its court. This separate contract-transfer check prevents a county jail departure from being misread as either MODOC supervision or final discharge.
