Beaver County keeps a jail roster at the county jail in Beaver, Oklahoma. The roster lists everyone in custody with their booking date, charges, and bond amount. This is one of the least populated counties in the Oklahoma panhandle, so the jail stays small. But the records are still public and you still have the right to search them. The Beaver County Sheriff's Office handles all jail operations and booking records. This page shows you how to look up Beaver County jail roster information online, by phone, and through formal records requests.

Give the full name of the person you are looking for. Staff can tell you right away if they are in custody, what the charges are, and whether bond has been set.

Beaver County processes roughly 200 bookings per year. Most people held here are either waiting for bond or being held short term before transfer to a larger facility.
