Anadarko, Oklahoma, in Caddo County, has about 5,500 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 District Attorney files charges, a case in the Caddo County District Court. 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 Anadarko
The FBI lists Anadarko with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Anadarko Police Department. It reported 496 arrests for 2025. 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 Caddo County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 179 arrests for 2025.
How Many Arrests Anadarko Reports
Each agency reports its arrests to the FBI by month, and the FBI publishes them 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.
- Anadarko: 496 for 2025, 607 for 2024, 526 for 2023, 524 for 2022, 431 for 2021 and 577 for 2020.
Anadarko's 496 arrests in 2025 were down 18 percent from 607 in 2024.
Through July 2026, Anadarko reported 275 arrests, against 266 in the same months of 2025.
Across Caddo County, the ten agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 751 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Anadarko Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Anadarko 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 150 people, up from about 120 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2019, the last year with a capacity figure, was 312 beds, and it ran at 39 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 Caddo County Sheriff's Office at caddocountysheriff.com/inmate-search (page title: Inmate Search | Caddo County Sheriff's Office), phone (405) 247-5700, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 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.
A person sentenced to prison serves the sentence in a facility of the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, whose inmate locator is at okoffender.doc.ok.gov.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in Anadarko
An arrest in Anadarko can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: the custody page of the Caddo County Sheriff's Office described above, for anyone booked into the county jail; OSCN and ODCR, the free online dockets of every Oklahoma district court, which shows whether charges were filed.
Oklahoma is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: anyone can order a name-based criminal history search online, for $15 a search, through the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Anadarko
The report of an arrest is released by the agency that made it; the jail and the court hold their own records of the same event, but not the report. Under the Oklahoma Open Records Act the agency must answer promptly; the statute sets no number of days, and it may charge copying at no more than 25 cents a page.
