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 Wallowa County
The Wallowa County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Enterprise keep the arrest records in Wallowa County: 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 Wallowa County: the Wallowa County Liquor Commission (state agency); the Wallowa County State Police (state police); each keeps the records of its own arrests.
Together, the two agencies in Wallowa County with all twelve months of 2020 on file reported 76 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 Wallowa County arrest records.
