About this guide

Wallowa County, Oregon, has about 7,500 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A person kept in custody after an arrest in Wallowa County is held at the county jail, run by the Wallowa County Sheriff's Office, and the jail's record of each person held is a public record. This guide says where to look for someone in custody, what the jail holds and who books people into it.

This guide covers the search, who books people, state prison and common questions.

The largest arrest counts reported to the FBI were Enterprise's 38 for 2021 and the Wallowa County Sheriff's Office's 20 for 2022.
