Teton County, Wyoming, has about 23,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Teton County Sheriff's Office and one city agency. An arrest 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 each agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies, cities and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Teton County

A city on that list is reported separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
How Many Arrests Each Agency Reports in Teton County
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.
- Teton County Sheriff's Office: 203 for 2025, 248 for 2024, 271 for 2023, 221 for 2022 and 235 for 2021.
Together, the two agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 598 arrests that year. The same agencies with both 2025 and 2024 complete reported 598 in 2025 against 724 in 2024, down 17 percent.
Through July 2026, the two agencies with every month so far on file reported 412 arrests, against 378 in the same months of 2025.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Teton County Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Teton County 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 Teton County
An arrest in Teton County 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 Teton County
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 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 Teton County Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit.
- An arrest in Jackson: the records unit of the agency that reports for that city; the city guides linked above name each city's records office.
- 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).
