Use the official Comanche County, Lawton, Oklahoma, or federal office that controls the record you need.
Where to Ask for Jail, Court, or Custody Records
For current county jail questions, start with the detention center. For sheriff administrative records, warrants, civil matters, or records routing, use the sheriff office. Lawton Police arrests may begin at the city jail before transfer to the county facility.
- Comanche County Detention Center: 315 SW 5th Street, Lawton, OK 73501. Phone: 580-250-1902. Use this line for county jail custody, current-inmate questions, bond status, visitation, mail, property, and booking-record routing.
- Comanche County Sheriff's Office: 315 SW 5th Street, #102 / Room 102, Lawton, OK 73501. Main phone: 580-353-4280. Sheriff Michael Merritt's direct county listing is 580-353-4282. Use the sheriff office for non-emergency sheriff records, warrants, civil process, and administrative routing.
- Lawton City Jail / Police Technical Services: 10 SW 4th Street, Lawton, OK 73501. Phone: 580-581-3275. Use this route when the arrest was recent and handled by Lawton Police before county transfer.
- Comanche County Court Clerk: courthouse records are tied to 315 SW 5th Street, Lawton. Use the Court Clerk's official page and Oklahoma court portals for filed criminal cases, hearing dates, docket entries, and certified court-record questions.
- District Attorney, District 5: 315 SW 5th Street, Suite / Room 502, Lawton, OK 73501. Phone: 580-585-4444. The DA handles prosecution decisions after arrest, but court filings and public dockets are usually checked through the court clerk, OSCN, or ODCR.
Oklahoma Open Records Act requests for law-enforcement records may cite 51 O.S. Sections 24A.5 and 24A.8, depending on the record. The Act does not make every investigative detail, juvenile matter, sealed record, or protected document available online.
- For someone in the county jail, use jail inmate records and then call the detention center if the online roster is unclear.
- For booking photos, review jail roster mugshots and request the record from the custodian if the photo is not posted.
- For charges filed after booking, search court records after a jail arrest through Oklahoma court systems.
- For facility-specific information, use the detention facility pages listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced Oklahoma prisoner, use Oklahoma Department of Corrections OK Offender Search rather than the county jail roster.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator, U.S. Marshals routing, or the ICE Online Detainee Locator as applicable.
