Trumbull County, Ohio, has about 200,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Trumbull County Sheriff's Office and 22 city agencies. An arrest 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 Trumbull County Court of Common Pleas. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts each agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies, cities and common questions.

Booking: Where People Arrested in Trumbull County Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Trumbull County 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 250 people, down from about 320 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023 was 314 beds, and it ran at 79 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Trumbull County Sheriff's Office at trumbullcountyauditors.org/trumbull-county-jail-inmate-search (page title: Trumbull County Jail Inmate Search Complete Guide), phone (330) 675-2508, 150 High Street NW, Warren, OH 44481, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
That page is the place to look for someone who was booked recently; a person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Trumbull County
An arrest in Trumbull County can be traced in three places, depending on where the case stands: the custody page of the Trumbull County Sheriff's Office described above, for anyone booked into the county jail; the case index of the Trumbull County Court of Common Pleas, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at co.trumbull.oh.us/CentralCourt/cd_recsearch.html, phone 330-675-2280); the Prosecuting Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at co.trumbull.oh.us/prosecutor/pr_contact.html, phone (330) 675-2426).
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 Trumbull County
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.
