Love County, Oklahoma, has about 10,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Love County Sheriff's Office and two 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 District Attorney files charges, a case in the Love County District Court. 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.

Who Makes Arrests in Love County
The Love County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Love County. It reported 106 arrests for 2025.
The FBI lists two cities in Love County with a reporting agency of their own, with the Census population and what each reported:
- Marietta, 2,891 residents: 45 arrests reported for 2025.
- Thackerville, 411 residents: 21 arrests reported for 2025.
A city on that list is reported separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
How Many Arrests Each Agency Reports in Love County
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.
- Love County Sheriff's Office: 106 for 2025, 79 for 2024, 81 for 2023, 88 for 2022, 129 for 2021 and 201 for 2020.
- Marietta: 45 for 2025, 49 for 2024, 50 for 2023, 76 for 2022, 75 for 2021 and 71 for 2020.
- Thackerville: 21 for 2025, 11 for 2024, 25 for 2023, 21 for 2022, 12 for 2021 and 16 for 2020.
Together, the three agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 172 arrests that year. The same agencies with both 2025 and 2024 complete reported 172 in 2025 against 139 in 2024, up 24 percent.
Through July 2026, the three agencies with every month so far on file reported 104 arrests, against 111 in the same months of 2025.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Love County Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Love 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 2024 the jail held about 40 people, up from about 32 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2019, the last year with a capacity figure, was 32 beds, and it ran at 100 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 Love County Sheriff's Office at lovecosheriff.com/inmate-search (page title: Inmate Search | 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 sentence of more than a year is served in state prison; the Oklahoma Department of Corrections lists its inmates at okoffender.doc.ok.gov.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in Love County
An arrest in Love County can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: the custody page of the Love County Sheriff's Office described above, for anyone booked into the county jail; the case index of the Love County District Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at love.okcounties.org/offices/court-clerk, phone 580.276.2235).
Statewide, OSCN and ODCR is the free online dockets of every Oklahoma district court.
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 Love 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 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 Love County Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit, reached through the office at 877-654-8463.
- An arrest in Marietta or Thackerville: the records unit of the agency that reports for that city.
- The court file of a case that was filed: the Love County District Court, through the court records page at love.okcounties.org/offices/court-clerk, phone 580.276.2235.
- Your own statewide record: the same request described above, for your own name.
Cities in Love County: Who Reports the Arrests
