Douglas County Arrest Records and Oregon Law

Oregon's public records laws give people the right to access arrest data. Under ORS 192.345, basic booking information is public. Names, charges, and arrest dates are not exempt from disclosure. Douglas County follows these rules when it publishes data on the Web Jail Viewer.

The state also has rules for criminal history records. ORS 181A.220 requires law enforcement agencies to report arrest data to Oregon State Police. Every arrest in Douglas County generates a record that enters the statewide system. This means a Douglas County arrest shows up in both local and state databases. The Oregon State Police CJIS page provides access to these statewide records.

HB 3273 placed restrictions on the commercial use of mugshots in Oregon. Before this law, some websites collected booking photos and charged people to have them taken down. The law now limits that practice. Douglas County continues to display booking photos on its Web Jail Viewer because official government use is permitted.

When you submit a request, be as specific as you can. Include the full name of the person, the date of arrest if known, and the type of record you need.
