Grant County Jail Mugshots

Grant County jail mugshots are held by the Sheriff's Office in Medford, Oklahoma. This is a smaller county in northern Oklahoma with limited online resources, so there is no public inmate roster on the web at this time. To search for Grant County jail mugshots or booking records, you need to contact the Sheriff's Office by phone or submit a written request. This page walks through the request process, contact information, and state laws that protect your right to access these records in Grant County.

Requesting Grant County Jail Mugshots

Call the Grant County Sheriff's Office at (580) 395-2345 to ask about an inmate or request a jail mugshot. The staff can check custody status and charges over the phone. For a copy of a booking photo, you will likely need to put the request in writing. This is common for smaller counties in Oklahoma where the office has limited staff and handles records alongside patrol and other duties. Give the person's full name and date of birth when you call, and the office can let you know what they have on file.

Written requests should be mailed to the Grant County Sheriff's Office in Medford, OK. Mark the envelope "Open Records Request" and include the full name, approximate arrest date, and your return address. Standard fees apply for copies. The Oklahoma Open Records Act requires a reasonable response time, though the exact turnaround will depend on how busy the Grant County office is at the time. In-person requests are accepted during business hours as well.

Grant County Booking Records

Every arrest in Grant County leads to a booking at the jail in Medford. During booking, staff take a mugshot, collect fingerprints, and record the person's charges and personal details. This creates the official Grant County booking record. The jail mugshot is part of that record and is considered public under Oklahoma Title 51, Section 24A.8. That statute says law enforcement must make an arrestee's physical description available on request, and the Attorney General confirmed in 2012 that mugshots count as part of that description.

Grant County is a small jurisdiction in the northern part of the state. The jail facility has limited capacity, which means some inmates may be transferred to nearby counties if space runs out. If you are searching for a Grant County jail mugshot and the person does not show up in their records, it is worth checking with neighboring county jails to see if a transfer took place.

Note: Grant County has limited online resources, so phone and mail remain the best ways to get booking records.

Oklahoma Open Records Law and Grant County

Oklahoma's Open Records Act is clear about jail mugshots. The law at Title 51, Section 24A.8 requires every law enforcement agency to make arrestee descriptions available for inspection and copying. The Grant County Sheriff's Office falls under this rule. When you submit a request for a booking photo, the office must provide it as long as the record exists. There is no limit on who can ask. Any member of the public has the right to request Grant County jail mugshots. If the records are kept in electronic form, the office must provide electronic copies when that is what you ask for.

The statute also covers jail registers. That means the name of each person booked, the date and cause of commitment, a physical description, and the date or manner of discharge are all public record. This applies to every booking that goes through the Grant County jail in Medford.
