Who Books People Into the Warren County Jail
The Warren County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Lebanon (filed by the FBI as Lebanon Police Department) make the arrests that end in a booking in and around Lebanon.
The Monroe Police Department, the Middletown Police Department and the Loveland Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Warren County, so their arrests are not broken out for Warren County here.
The largest arrest counts reported to the FBI were Franklin's 1,279 for 2024, the Warren County Sheriff's Office's 449 for 2025 and Mason's 299 for 2025.
Together, the seven agencies in Warren County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 1,398 arrests to the FBI that year. Those kept in custody were booked into the county jail; a person cited and released at the scene was not.
The counts, agency by agency and year by year, are in Lebanon arrest records.
From the Jail to State Prison
A sentence of more than a year is served in state prison, not the jail; the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction lists its inmates at appgateway.drc.ohio.gov/OffenderSearch.
