The Pawnee County police blotter covers arrest logs and inmate booking data from the Pawnee County Sheriff's Office, which has served north-central Oklahoma since the county was established in 1894. Sheriff Shawn Price runs the office at 500 Harrison Street and the jail at the same address maintains a public online inmate search.

The Pawnee County Sheriff's Office sits at 500 Harrison Street in the city of Pawnee. Administration hours run Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Dispatch operates around the clock. Sheriff Shawn Price leads the office and oversees all county jail operations.

The county covers 569 square miles in north-central Oklahoma.

Pawnee County Jail Inmate Search

The Pawnee County Sheriff's Office website offers a public inmate search at pawneecountysheriff.com/inmate-search. You can look up current inmates by name and see who is in custody at the county jail. The roster is a good first stop when checking on a recent booking.

The jail phone for inmate inquiries is (918) 762-2565. Call during any hour for custody status checks. For records on people who were booked and released, a formal records request may be needed since the online roster only shows current inmates.
