Newberg, Oregon, in Yamhill 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 Yamhill County Circuit 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 Newberg
The FBI lists Newberg with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Newberg-Dundee Police Department. It reported 631 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 Yamhill County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 798 arrests for 2025.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Yamhill County: the Yamhill County Liquor Commission (state agency); the Yamhill County State Police (state police).
How Many Arrests Newberg 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.
- Newberg: 631 for 2025, 633 for 2024, 581 for 2023, 619 for 2022, 483 for 2021 and 636 for 2020.
Newberg's 631 arrests in 2025 were down 0.3 percent from 633 in 2024.
Through August 2026, Newberg reported 395 arrests, against 448 in the same months of 2025.
Across Yamhill County, the four agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 2,736 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Newberg Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Newberg 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 110 people, down from about 180 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023 was 245 beds, and it ran at 44 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Newberg
For Newberg the place to look is the case index of the Yamhill County Circuit Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at courts.oregon.gov/courts/yamhill/records/pages/default.aspx).
Statewide, Oregon eCourt Case Information is the Oregon Judicial Department's online case search, free for basic case information.
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. 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 Newberg
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 Oregon Public Records Law the agency must answer within 15 business days where practicable, after acknowledging the request within 5, and it may charge the actual cost of making the record available.
