Josephine County, OR Arrests & Jail Records

The Josephine County Sheriff's Office allows the public to request copies of arrest records either online or by mail. Regardless of the method chosen, the request must include details such as the arrestee's name, arrest location, and time of arrest. A completed Record Request form must be submitted along with personal details when making an online request. Individuals opting for mail-in requests may submit the Record Request form to:

Josephine County Sheriff's Office ATTN: Records Department 1901 NE F St, Grants Pass, OR 97526

It costs $10 per page to acquire the first 20 pages and an additional charge of $0.25 per page for any additional pages.

Arrest records from the Grants Pass Police Department may be obtained at the Records Unit. This unit collects, maintains, and provides police records, including arrest records. Requesters may visit in person on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. at 726 NE 7th Street.

The Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) does not provide criminal history records to the public. However, it offers services such as personal criminal history requests, name-based searches of the Oregon Computerized Criminal History Repository, and public fingerprinting services.

To receive limited information about another individual's criminal history, you must complete the Request for Criminal History Information on Another Individual form and submit it with a $33 check or money order payable to the OSP. This request provides details such as the date of arrest, arrest offense, arresting agency, disposition, and court of origin. The process may take up to 14 days, allowing the record owner time to review their information.

To obtain your criminal history report, the first step is to complete a Copy of Own Record form. Then, a fingerprint card must be completed either at a local law enforcement agency within Josephine County or at the OSP Salem Office, located at General Headquarters, 3565 Trelstad Ave SE, Building 1, Salem, OR 97317, for an additional $30. The completed form, fingerprint card, and $33 fee must then be mailed to:

Oregon State Police - CJIS Division Unit 11 PO Box 4395 Portland, OR 97208-4395
