Jackson, Wyoming, in Teton County, has about 11,000 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 County Attorney files charges, a case in the District Court for Teton County. 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 Jackson
The FBI lists Jackson with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Jackson Police Department. It reported 395 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 Teton County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 203 arrests for 2025.
How Many Arrests Jackson Reports
Each agency reports its arrests to the FBI by month, and the FBI publishes them 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.
- Jackson: 395 for 2025, 476 for 2024, 369 for 2023 and 397 for 2022.
Jackson's 395 arrests in 2025 were down 17 percent from 476 in 2024.
Through July 2026, Jackson reported 291 arrests, against 243 in the same months of 2025.
Across Teton County, the two agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 598 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Jackson Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Jackson 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 2024 the jail held about 14 people, down from about 19 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2019, the last year with a capacity figure, was 45 beds, and it ran at 42 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 Jackson
An arrest in Jackson can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: the case index of the District Court for Teton County, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at tetoncountywy.gov/1304/Case-Name-Searches, phone 307-733-7713); the County Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at tetoncountywy.gov/231/County-Prosecuting-Attorney, phone 307-733-4012).
Wyoming does not let the public search another person's statewide criminal history. The record kept by the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation goes to the person it belongs to and to employers and agencies the law authorizes; for everyone else the court's own case index is the public record of an arrest that led to a charge.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Jackson
An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. Under the Wyoming Public Records Act the agency must answer within 30 days at most, and it may charge the actual cost of copying.
- An arrest by the Jackson police: the police records page SearchSystems verified at jacksonwy.gov/374/Police-Reports-and-Records-Requests (page title: Police Reports and Record Requests | Jackson, WY), phone 307-733-2331, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 26, 2026.
- An arrest by the Teton County Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit.
- A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the County Attorney, 307-733-4012, handles discovery for pending cases.
- The court file of a case that was filed: the District Court for Teton County, through the court records page at tetoncountywy.gov/1304/Case-Name-Searches, phone 307-733-7713.
- Any county record that is not posted: the county records request page SearchSystems verified is at tetoncountywy.gov/1936/Public-Records-Request (page title: Public Records Request | Teton County, WY).
