Search Garfield County Booking Reports

Garfield County booking reports are managed through the Garfield County Sheriff's Office and the Garfield County Criminal Trust Authority, which has run the jail since January 1, 2021. The jail sits at 216 W. Oxford Ave in Enid, Oklahoma, and houses 73 or more inmates at any given time. Two online tools list current inmates: a PDF roster on the sheriff's website and a searchable listing on Kinetic Console. The jail holds inmates from Enid, Garber, Covington, Fairmont, Hunter, Kremlin, Lahoma, and North Enid. All booking data is public under Oklahoma law.

Garfield County Online Inmate Search

Garfield County gives you two ways to check the jail roster online. The first is a PDF file posted on the sheriff's office website. This document lists all current inmates with their names, charges, and booking information. The PDF gets updated regularly and can be downloaded or printed. It works well if you want a quick snapshot of everyone in the jail at that moment.

The second tool is Kinetic Console, a web-based platform that provides a searchable inmate listing. Kinetic Console is easier to use if you are looking for a specific person because you can type a name and get results right away. The PDF roster requires you to scroll through the whole list. Both tools show the same data, so it comes down to personal preference.

The Garfield County Sheriff's Office website is where you find links to the PDF roster and other jail services.

The sheriff's site covers jail operations, contact information, and links to inmate resources.

The Kinetic Console listing for Garfield County provides a searchable, web-based inmate roster.

Kinetic Console shows names, charges, booking dates, and bond amounts in a table format that you can sort and search.

Note: The PDF roster is available at garcosheriff.com and can be opened on any device with a PDF reader.

How to Get Garfield County Booking Records

For records that are no longer on the current roster, contact the Garfield County Sheriff's Office. The jail is at 216 W. Oxford Ave, Enid, OK 73701. The phone number is 580-237-0244. Staff can check on past bookings, give you bond information, and tell you about court dates. For a written record, send a request by mail with the person's full name, date of birth, and approximate arrest date.

Since January 2021, the Garfield County Criminal Trust Authority has managed the jail operations. This means day-to-day booking and intake are handled by the trust authority rather than directly by the sheriff's office. For records requests, either office can help, but sending your request to the sheriff's office is the standard approach. Copy fees follow Oklahoma law at 25 cents per page for regular copies and one dollar for certified copies.

The jail holds inmates from eight different cities and towns in Garfield County. Enid produces the most bookings as the largest city, but arrests from Garber, Covington, Fairmont, Hunter, Kremlin, Lahoma, and North Enid all flow through the same facility. A single search of the Garfield County roster covers all of these jurisdictions.

Garfield County Booking Reports and the Law

Booking reports in Garfield County are public records. The Oklahoma Open Records Act, Title 51, Section 24A.8 makes jail blotter data available to anyone. The law covers each person's name, the date and reason for commitment, who ordered the commitment, a physical description, and the discharge date. You do not need to give a reason for your request.

If a request gets denied, you can appeal to the Oklahoma Attorney General or file in Garfield County District Court. The Reporters Committee Open Government Guide for Oklahoma walks through the full appeal process. Agencies that break the Open Records Act face penalties. Most cooperate with requests to avoid those consequences.

Garfield County Criminal Trust Authority

Since January 1, 2021, the Garfield County Criminal Trust Authority has taken over management of the jail. This arrangement separated jail operations from the sheriff's office. The trust authority handles daily intake, housing, medical care, and release of inmates. The sheriff's office still handles law enforcement and records requests, but the actual running of the jail falls under the trust authority. This kind of setup is becoming more common in Oklahoma as counties look for ways to manage jail costs and liability.

The change in management does not affect your ability to get booking reports. The records are still public. Whether you go through the sheriff's office or the trust authority, the same data is available. The online roster stayed in place through the transition, and both the PDF and Kinetic Console tools work the same way they did before. If you have questions about current jail policies, calling 580-237-0244 is the best approach.
