About arrest records in Oregon
In Oregon, arrest records are primarily generated and maintained at the county sheriff level. When an individual is taken into custody anywhere in Oregon, they are typically booked into the county jail of the county where the alleged offense occurred. That booking creates the official arrest record — capturing the arrestee's name, date of birth, the arresting agency, the booking date and time, the formal charges filed, the bond amount set by a magistrate, and (in most counties) a booking photograph.
From there, records branch into several streams. The county sheriff's office maintains the jail roster — the live list of currently incarcerated individuals at the county detention facility. The clerk of court for the county logs the resulting criminal case once charges are formally filed, including all hearings, motions, and dispositions. If a person is convicted and sentenced to state prison time, custody transfers to the Oregon state department of corrections, which publishes its own inmate locator separate from the county jail roster.
Arrest Ledger organizes all of this jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction. Below you'll find a directory of all 36 Oregon counties and county-equivalents. Each county page explains where to find local arrest logs, how to look up current inmates, what the booking process looks like in that jurisdiction, and how to access the underlying court records.

Public records law in Oregon
Like every US state, Oregon has a public records or "sunshine" law that governs which government records — including arrest and booking records — are accessible to members of the public, and how. The general rule is that arrest records, jail rosters, and booking photographs are presumptively public, but specific exemptions apply: juvenile records, sealed or expunged matters, ongoing investigations, and certain victim-protective categories are typically withheld.
If a record concerns you personally and you believe it should be sealed, expunged, or corrected, the right next step is almost always to speak with a criminal defense attorney licensed in Oregon before contacting the records custodian directly. Sealing and expungement procedures are state-specific and time-sensitive.
