Grant County Booking Records and Jail Info

The Grant County Jail is at 219 N. Main St. in Medford. Call the sheriff at 580-395-2366 to ask about a recent booking. Grant County does not publish an online roster. Phone is the only way to check custody status directly with the jail. This is common in smaller Oklahoma counties where the jail population is low and the resources for maintaining a web-based system are limited.

Grant County is a small county. The population is under 5,000. That means the jail handles a low volume of bookings compared to larger counties. Because of this, the facility may sometimes house inmates in neighboring jails. If the Grant County Jail is at capacity or if staffing is an issue, inmates can be moved to facilities in Kay County, Garfield County, or Alfalfa County. When you call 580-395-2366, ask if the person is being held locally or has been transferred. Staff should be able to tell you where the inmate is.

For court records tied to a Grant County arrest, use OSCN.net. The Oklahoma State Courts Network covers Grant County District Court filings. You can search by name or case number. This is free and open to everyone.

OSCN at oscn.net includes Grant County district court records. This covers charges, case status, and docket entries for people booked at the Medford jail.

How to Check Grant County Booking Status

Call 580-395-2366. That is the Grant County Sheriff's Office. Have the person's full legal name ready. A date of birth helps. Staff can tell you if the person is in the Medford jail, what charges they face, and if bond has been set. They can also say if the inmate has been moved to another facility.

Because Grant County is small, the sheriff's office handles both law enforcement and jail operations. There is not a separate detention phone number. The main line at 580-395-2366 handles all inquiries. If you call outside business hours, there may still be staff at the jail who can answer basic questions about who is in custody. But for detailed records requests, call during regular business hours.

Grant County borders Kansas to the north. Cross-border arrests do happen. If the person was arrested near the state line, confirm which jurisdiction has them. An arrest in Grant County goes to the Medford jail. An arrest just north of the border would be in Kansas custody. Location matters. Get the right county first, then make the call.

What Grant County Booking Records Include

Under Title 51 O.S. Section 24A.8, every county jail in Oklahoma must keep a register of prisoners. The register includes each person's name, the date and cause of commitment, who ordered it, whether the charge is criminal, a physical description, and the date and manner of discharge or escape. Grant County follows these same rules.

A Grant County booking record will also show the booking number, the arresting agency (usually the Grant County Sheriff or a municipal officer), the specific charge codes, bond information, and any holds from other jurisdictions. Since Grant County sometimes houses inmates elsewhere, the record should note if a transfer occurred and where the person was sent. Charges can change after booking. The district attorney may amend, add, or drop charges as the case moves forward. Check OSCN.net for the latest case information.

Anyone can request booking records under the Oklahoma Open Records Act. You do not need to be a family member or have a legal reason. Write to the Grant County Jail at 219 N. Main St., Medford, OK 73759, or call 580-395-2366 to ask about the process. There may be small copy fees.

These state tools matter more for Grant County than for larger counties. Because the local jail has no online roster, the state and federal databases are often the first place people turn when the phone does not give them what they need. Between OSCN, ODOC, VINE, and the OSBI, you can piece together a fairly complete picture of someone's status in the system.
