Yukon, Oklahoma, in Canadian County, has about 27,000 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 Canadian 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 Yukon
The FBI lists Yukon with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Yukon Police Department. It reported 653 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 Canadian County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 204 arrests for 2025.
How Many Arrests Yukon 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.
- Yukon: 653 for 2025, 691 for 2024, 673 for 2023, 715 for 2022, 712 for 2021 and 646 for 2020.
Yukon's 653 arrests in 2025 were down 5.5 percent from 691 in 2024.
Through July 2026, Yukon reported 370 arrests, against 354 in the same months of 2025.
Across Canadian County, the seven agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 1,943 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Yukon Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Yukon 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 2024 the jail held about 1 people, down from about 190 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2019, the last year with a capacity figure, was 247 beds, and it ran at 77 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 Canadian County Sheriff's Office at ccsheriff.net/inmate-search (page title: Inmate Search | Canadian County Sheriff's Office), phone 877-654-8463, 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 Yukon
An arrest in Yukon can be traced in three places, depending on where the case stands: the custody page of the Canadian 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; the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at canadiancounty.org/m/directory/department?did=39, phone (405) 262-0177).
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 Yukon
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.
- An arrest by the Yukon police: the police records page SearchSystems verified at yukonok.gov/203/Records-Department-Jail-Information (page title: Records Department & Jail Information | Yukon, OK), phone 405-350-7586, 100 South Ranchwood Boulevard Yukon, OK 73099, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 26, 2026.
- An arrest by the Canadian County Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit, reached through the office at 877-654-8463.
- A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney, (405) 262-0177, handles discovery for pending cases.
- Your own statewide record: the same request described above, for your own name.
