The Oregon Criminal History and Your Own Copy
Oregon is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: an Open Record Request returns anyone's Oregon conviction record by name, and the subject is told who asked, for $10 a search, through the Oregon State Police. The result is the repository record, what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it. The search is on the Oregon State Police site.
Arrest Records Kept Locally in Baker City
The Baker County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Baker City (filed by the FBI as Baker City Police Department) keep the arrest records in and around Baker City: the report and the booking record of each arrest stay with the agency that made it, separate from the court file and from the state repository.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Baker County: the Baker County Liquor Commission (state agency); the Baker County State Police (state police); each keeps the records of its own arrests.
Together, the two agencies in Baker County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 375 arrests to the FBI that year; how each case ended is in the court file, not in the arresting agency's.
The agencies and their counts, year by year, are in Baker City arrest records.
The Crimes Behind the Records: Baker City in 2025
The agency that reports for Baker City had 14 violent and 155 property crimes reported for 2025; each one is a report on file with it, and each arrest that follows is the start of a criminal record.
The Sex Offender Registry for Baker City
Registered sex offenders living in Baker City are listed on the Oregon Sex Offender Registry, run by the Oregon State Police. Only Level 3 and some Level 2 registrants are listed online.
Registration itself is done in person with the local agency where the registrant lives: the sheriff's office, or the city police in a city with its own department.
Asking an Agency in Baker County for a Record
An arrest report, a booking record or a local criminal history letter comes from the agency that holds it, not from the court.
Under the Oregon Public Records Law a county office must answer a request within 15 business days where practicable, after acknowledging the request within 5, and it may charge the actual cost of making the record available. The county records request page SearchSystems verified is at bakersheriff.org/recordsrequest.htm (page title: Baker County Sheriff's Office).
