Enid, Oklahoma, in Garfield County, has about 51,000 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 District Attorney files charges, a case in the Garfield 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 Enid
The FBI lists Enid with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Enid Police Department. It reported 1,007 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 Garfield County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 67 arrests for 2024.
How Many Arrests Enid 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.
- Enid: 1,007 for 2025, 853 for 2024, 1,105 for 2023, 1,127 for 2022, 945 for 2021 and 1,793 for 2020.
Enid's 1,007 arrests in 2025 were up 18 percent from 853 in 2024.
Through June 2026, Enid reported 548 arrests, against 456 in the same months of 2025.
Across Garfield County, the six agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 1,025 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Enid Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Enid and kept in custody ends up, whichever agency made the arrest, though a city department may hold someone in its own cells first and a person cited and released at the scene is never booked. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and once the person is released or sentenced the record continues in the court file.
On an average day in 2023 the jail held about 240 people, up from about 240 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2019, the last year with a capacity figure, was 305 beds, and it ran at 78 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
