Greenville, Ohio, in Darke County, has about 13,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and its arrests are reported to the FBI by an agency of its own. An arrest in the city leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the Prosecuting Attorney files charges, a case in the Darke County Court of Common Pleas. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts the agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Greenville
The FBI lists Greenville with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Greenville Police Department. It reported 268 arrests for 2023, its latest complete year. A city is listed separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
Outside the city, the Darke County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 318 arrests for 2025.
How Many Arrests Greenville Reports
The FBI publishes every agency's monthly arrest counts on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Greenville: 268 for 2023.
Across Darke County, the three agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 2,622 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Greenville Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Greenville is held at the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest, apart from the short stay some city departments' own holding cells allow; a person cited and released at the scene is not booked at all. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and the court file takes over from there.
On an average day in 2023 the jail held about 20 people, down from about 29 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2019, the last year with a capacity figure, was 39 beds, and it ran at 74 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Greenville
For Greenville the place to look is the case index of the Darke County Court of Common Pleas, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at darkecountycommonpleas.com, phone 226 705 8349).
Ohio does not let the public search another person's statewide criminal history. The record kept by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation goes to the person it belongs to and to employers and agencies the law authorizes; for everyone else the court's own case index is the public record of an arrest that led to a charge.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Greenville
An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. Under the Ohio Public Records Act the agency must answer promptly, within a reasonable period of time, and it may charge the actual cost of copying.
