Search Medford and Jackson County Arrest, Booking and Jail Records Through Official Sources
For someone who may currently be held in Jackson County Jail, start with Jackson County’s official Adults in Custody search. The jail is in Medford and serves local law-enforcement agencies throughout Jackson County.
Records Search
Court, Criminal, Marriage, Divorce, Property
Oregon generally restricts public release of booking photographs, so an official custody record may be available even when a mugshot is not. Use the arresting agency for police records and Oregon court records when you need to know what happened after the booking.
Which Medford or Jackson County Record Do You Actually Need?
A current jail roster, police report, Sheriff record, criminal court case and Oregon state-prison record answer different questions. Start with the system connected to your actual task rather than relying on a copied mugshot page.
Is the person in Jackson County Jail now?
Use the county’s official Adults in Custody search. It is the primary public source for current Jackson County jail custody information.
Adults in Custody Search →Need a Medford Police report?
Medford Police maintains its own records. The City of Medford provides an online Public Records Request portal for police and other city records.
Medford Police →Need a Jackson County Sheriff record?
Use Jackson County’s public-record process and Sheriff records contact rather than asking Medford Police for a record created by a county deputy.
Jackson County Government →Need the later criminal case status?
Oregon Judicial Department provides free basic case information and a more extensive subscription service through OJCIN OnLine.
Find an Oregon Court Case →Was the person transferred to Oregon DOC?
Use Oregon Offender Search for people in Oregon Department of Corrections custody rather than continuing to search the county jail.
Oregon Offender Search →Not sure which type of arrest record you need?
Use the site’s recent-booking guide to understand the difference between jail rosters, arrest reports, court cases and state-prison searches.
Recent Booking Search Guide →How to Search Jackson County Jail Adults in Custody
Jackson County’s public jail search uses the Oregon correctional term “Adults in Custody,” often shortened to AIC. The live roster can be searched by name.
Open the official Jackson County AIC search
Use the county-hosted search at aic.jacksoncountyor.gov rather than a third-party inmate or mugshot directory.
Search the person’s name
Enter the available name information. If the name is common, do not assume the first matching record is the person you are looking for.
Review the custody record carefully
Use the available name, booking or custody information together. Current jail information can change as a person is released, transferred or returned to court.
Identify the arresting agency if you need the report
Jackson County Jail receives people from multiple law-enforcement agencies. A Medford Police arrest report and a Jackson County Sheriff record are requested from different offices.
Use the court system for the case outcome
Jail custody is only one stage of the process. Search Oregon court records when you need filed charges, hearings, judgments or later case information.
Why Jackson County Mugshots May Not Be Publicly Available
Oregon treats booking photographs differently from ordinary public jail information. ORS 133.870 generally says a law-enforcement agency may not release a booking photo unless one of the statute’s exceptions applies.
Custody information can still be public
Oregon’s booking-photo restriction does not mean that every arrest or jail record is secret. Jackson County still operates a public Adults in Custody roster, and Oregon public-record law separately addresses disclosure of arrest information.
A photograph has additional restrictions
The statute allows release in specified circumstances, including to the person depicted, certain law-enforcement recipients, qualifying parties or victims, and when the agency determines that a law-enforcement purpose supports public release.
2025 Oregon law added another permitted recipient
A 2025 amendment to ORS 133.870 added licensed investigators under ORS 703.430 to the categories to whom an agency may release a booking photo. The law took effect September 26, 2025.
Finding Recent Medford and Jackson County Bookings
The official Jackson County tool is a current Adults in Custody roster. It should not be presented as a guaranteed “last 24 hours,” “7 days” or “30 days” mugshot archive unless the county itself provides that time-specific view.
| What you need | Best starting source | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Person may be in jail now | Jackson County Adults in Custody | Search the current roster by name. |
| Recent Medford Police arrest | Jackson County jail roster + Medford Police records | Confirm custody, then request the underlying MPD record if needed. |
| Recent Sheriff arrest | Jackson County jail roster + Sheriff records | Use the Sheriff’s records contact for the arrest or incident record. |
| Person has already been released | Arresting agency + court records | Do not rely only on a current-custody roster. |
| Need the final case status | Oregon Judicial Department | Search basic case information or use OJCIN for more extensive access. |
| Person moved to state custody | Oregon Offender Search | Search the state DOC system rather than the county jail. |
How to Request a Medford Police Record
Medford Police Department maintains police data through its Records Division. The City of Medford provides an online Public Records Request portal for city records, including applicable police records.
Medford Police Department
219 S. Ivy StreetMedford, OR 97501
Phone: 541-770-4783
Email: [email protected]
The department currently lists its lobby as open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m.
Online Public Records Request portal
The City requires an account and email address to submit an online public-record request. The portal lets requesters submit and monitor their request.
Questions about creating a public-record account can be directed to the City Recorder’s Office at 541-774-2017.
Request a Jackson County Sheriff Arrest or Incident Record
If the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office created the record, use the County’s Sheriff records contact rather than the City of Medford public-record system.
Jackson County Sheriff’s Office
5179 Crater Lake HighwayCentral Point, OR 97502
Main phone: 541-774-6800
Public-record email listed by Jackson County: [email protected]
Describe the record precisely
When available, include the person’s name, approximate date, location, case or incident number and the type of document you need. A specific request is easier for the records office to identify than a broad request for “all mugshot records.”
Where Jackson County Adults in Custody Are Held
Jackson County Jail is the county adult-custody facility in downtown Medford. Oregon agencies commonly use the term “Adult in Custody” or “AIC” rather than “inmate.”
Multiple agencies can lodge people there
Jackson County Jail serves arrests from agencies throughout the county. A person arrested by Medford Police, Jackson County Sheriff, Oregon State Police or another local agency can therefore appear in the same county custody system.
Why the arresting agency matters
The jail maintains custody information, but the law-enforcement agency that investigated or made the arrest may hold the underlying police report. Identify that agency before submitting a records request.
How to Check Jackson County Criminal Court Records
Oregon Judicial Department provides several ways to check a criminal case. The free online search provides basic case information and court dates, while OJCIN OnLine provides more extensive paid subscription access.
OJD Records and Calendar Search

The Jackson County court currently also posts a daily midday closure from 12 p.m.–1 p.m. because of training and staffing needs. Check the court page before visiting.
When to Use Oregon Offender Search Instead of Jackson County Jail
A person can leave Jackson County Jail and later enter Oregon Department of Corrections custody. The county roster and state corrections search are separate systems.
Oregon Offender Search
Oregon DOC provides a public offender-information search. Use it when the person has moved into Oregon state corrections custody rather than remaining in the county jail.
Need an official DOC record?
Oregon DOC states that an official or certified offender record requires a Public Records Request. The public offender search is an informational lookup, not a substitute for a certified record.
Use Oregon VISOR for Custody Notifications
Oregon Department of Corrections provides VISOR, the Victim Information System in Oregon. It can be used to search for individuals in custody or under supervision and to request notifications.
You can search by several identifiers
VISOR supports searches by full or partial name, State ID number or County ID number. Oregon says people may request notifications with or without creating an account.
The person in custody is not told that someone has registered for notifications.
Medford and Jackson County Jail Search Troubleshooting
A current jail search can answer a custody question, but it cannot always answer an older arrest, police-report or disposition question.
| Problem | Possible explanation | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| No person appears in the AIC roster | The person may have been released, transferred, held elsewhere or entered under different identifying information. | Verify the arresting agency and check court records. |
| No mugshot appears | Oregon law restricts public release of booking photos. | Use the custody record and do not assume the arrest did not occur. |
| You need the incident narrative | The county jail roster is not a police report. | Request the report from Medford Police or the actual arresting agency. |
| You need the final outcome | The jail record reflects booking and custody, not the complete court case. | Use Oregon Judicial Department court records. |
| You cannot find the case online | The record may be restricted from online display or require more extensive access. | Use OJCIN or contact Jackson County Circuit Court. |
| The person may have entered state prison | County and DOC custody systems are separate. | Search Oregon DOC. |
| You need release notifications | Repeatedly checking a jail page is not the only option. | Use Oregon VISOR where applicable. |

A Booking Record Is Only One Part of the Case
Public custody information can help confirm that someone entered a jail system, but it should not be treated as a final statement about criminal responsibility.
A jail record may help confirm
- That a person is currently shown in county custody.
- The identity information published by the jail.
- Custody or booking details made available by the county.
- The jurisdiction connected with the detention.
- Where to begin further official research.
A jail record does not establish
- Guilt.
- A conviction.
- That every booking allegation became a filed charge.
- That the original charge remained unchanged.
- That the person remains in custody after the record changes.
