What Grant County Booking Records Include

Grant County booking records follow the requirements of Title 51, Section 24A.8 of the Oklahoma Open Records Act. The law requires law enforcement agencies to release: full name, age, physical description, booking information, charges, and bond amount. These are public for any person currently in custody or still under supervision.

Standard records at the Grant County Jail include the booking number, booking date and time, mugshot if taken, charge descriptions with statute references, bond or bail amount, and scheduled court date. Information not available to the public includes home address details, records related to ongoing investigations, and information that could put someone at risk. The closed record exception for released inmates applies once a person is fully off supervision.

Note: Weekly turnover at the Grant County Jail runs approximately 55 percent, so the roster changes frequently and a same-day phone call is the most reliable way to confirm current status.

VINE Notification Service

For a small county facility that doesn't post a public online roster, VINE is especially valuable. It gives you real-time confirmation of release and transfer events without needing to call the jail repeatedly.

Oklahoma Open Records Act

Grant County follows the Oklahoma Open Records Act at Title 51, Sections 24A.1 through 24A.29. The law gives the public the right to inspect and copy records held by public agencies. Section 24A.8 covers law enforcement records and sets out what must be made public from booking records. Grant County Sheriff's staff must respond to requests during regular business hours and may charge a reasonable fee for copies.

The closed record exception applies in Grant County as across the state. Once someone is fully released and no longer under supervision, their inmate records are no longer public. This is a specific exception for released inmates, separate from the general public records rules. If your request is denied, ask for the reason in writing. The state Attorney General's office can help if you believe a denial was improper.
