The detention center serves a large area. Lawton is the county seat and by far the biggest city in Comanche County. Arrests from the Lawton Police Department make up most of the bookings. But officers in Cache, Elgin, Medicine Park, and the surrounding rural areas also bring people in. Fort Sill, the Army post adjacent to Lawton, has its own military police, but civilian arrests in the area still go through the Comanche County jail. The weekly turnover at the jail is significant because many people bond out within a few days of their arrest.

Note: For questions about court dates or case status, call the Comanche County district court clerk separately.

Comanche County Jail Records

Under Title 57, Section 48 of Oklahoma law, the sheriff must maintain a register of everyone booked into the jail. The register records each inmate's name, booking date, the cause of commitment, which authority ordered the commitment, and a description of the person. It also tracks how and when each person was released. This statute is why the Comanche County jail roster is public information.

To get copies of specific records, submit a written request to the Comanche County Sheriff's Office. The Oklahoma Open Records Act under Title 51, Section 24A.8 requires law enforcement to make arrest and booking data available for public inspection. Copies run $0.25 per page. Include the person's full name and any other identifying details. The office processes a fair number of requests given the size of the facility, so allow a few business days for a response.

Statewide Search Tools

Several state databases complement the Comanche County jail roster. The ODOC Offender Search shows state prison inmates across Oklahoma but not county jail detainees. The On Demand Court Records site pulls criminal case data from Oklahoma courts. For a criminal history check, the OSBI CHIRP portal runs fingerprint-based searches at $15 per search.

The Oklahoma Department of Corrections links to the offender search, sex offender registry, and violent offender registry from its main site. If you run into trouble getting records from the sheriff's office, the Oklahoma Attorney General's Office handles Open Records Act complaints and can explain your rights.
