Bartlesville Jail Mugshots Lookup

Bartlesville jail mugshots are maintained by the Washington County Jail at 611 SW Adams Blvd. The city does not operate a municipal jail, so all arrests made by the Bartlesville Police Department go through the county facility for booking.

You can look up current booking records without leaving your home. This page explains how to find Bartlesville arrest records, search for mugshots, and request booking data from the county.

Bartlesville Arrest Records Online

Bartlesville does not have its own jail. All arrests by BPD officers lead to booking at the Washington County Jail on Adams Blvd. The jail is right in Bartlesville since the city serves as the county seat. During booking, staff photograph the person, record their charges, and enter everything into the jail management system. That mugshot belongs to the county.

The Washington County Sheriff's Office has a modern inmate search tool on their website. You can search by name to find current inmates. Results show mugshots, charges, bond amounts, and booking dates. The tool is free and does not need an account. The site also posts mugshots for recent bookings, making it one of the more accessible county jail websites in Oklahoma.

Bartlesville Mugshots and the Law

Title 51 Section 24A.8 of the Oklahoma Statutes makes jail mugshots public records. The law requires agencies to release an arrestee's name, date of birth, address, and physical description. Mugshots are part of that physical description. A 2012 Attorney General Opinion reinforced this by stating that booking photos are the most accurate depiction of an arrestee's appearance.

Jail blotter data is also public under this statute. The law covers records showing each prisoner's name, commitment date, the authority behind the commitment, and a description. The Washington County Sheriff's Office must release these records to anyone who asks. No reason is needed to make a request. You can submit open records requests at the jail on Adams Blvd or contact the sheriff's office by phone.

Note: Bartlesville is the county seat of Washington County, so both the police department and the county jail are located in the city.
