Garfield County Sheriff and Detention

The Garfield County Sheriff's Office runs the county jail and keeps all booking releases on file. When someone gets brought in, the jail logs the name, date of birth, offense, bond amount, and takes a booking photo. That info goes into the daily jail log. Release dates get noted as well.

You can ask for booking records in person at the Sheriff's Office. Normal hours are Monday through Friday. Written requests work too. Put the person's name and date of birth in your letter, along with any dates you think they were held. Under Title 51 O.S. § 24A.8, jail registers and booking data must be open to the public. No reason is needed to request them. Garfield County has a well-organized records system given the size of the jail and the number of bookings that flow through Enid each year.

The Garfield County Jail holds pre-trial detainees and inmates serving sentences of less than one year. Those with longer terms go to the state prison system. For certified copies of court orders, visit the Garfield County District Court Clerk at the courthouse in Enid, OK 73701.
