Stillwater 24 Hour Booking Records
Stillwater 24 hour booking records are handled by both the Stillwater Police Department and the Payne County Detention Center. Stillwater is home to Oklahoma State University and has a population around 50,000. The city has its own jail, but that is set to change. Beginning July 1, 2026, Stillwater will contract with Payne County for jail services and close the city facility. Until then, both the city jail and the county detention center process bookings. You can search current inmates through the Payne County inmate search tool online at no cost. Court records are available through OSCN and the Stillwater Municipal Court system.

How to Search Stillwater 24 Hour Booking
The Payne County inmate search is the best starting point. It shows current inmates at the detention center. Enter a name and see matching results with charges and booking dates. The tool is free and works any time. You can also use the Payne Records guide as another way to look up inmates in the county system.
For court records from Stillwater arrests, the Oklahoma State Courts Network covers Payne County. Select Payne County and search by name or case number. OSCN is free and shows docket entries, hearing dates, charges, and case outcomes. Most Stillwater cases appear on OSCN within a day or two of filing.
The Stillwater Municipal Court has its own online search for city ordinance cases. This covers tickets, minor misdemeanors, and city code violations handled at the municipal level. You can search by name or citation number. The court phone number is 405-742-8254 if you need help with a search.
The Stillwater Municipal Court search handles city ordinance violations and minor cases separately from the county system.
Use this tool for tickets and city-level charges that don't go through the county district court.
Stillwater City Jail Transition
A big change is coming. Starting July 1, 2026, Stillwater will contract with Payne County for all jail services. The city jail will close. After that date, every arrest by Stillwater PD will go straight to the Payne County Detention Center for booking and holding. This shift means one less facility to check when searching for records.
Right now, Stillwater still operates a city jail for short-term holds. Some municipal court defendants are held at the city facility before transfer. After the transition, all bookings will be in the county system. The Payne County inmate search will be the single tool you need for any Stillwater arrest.
This change simplifies things for anyone looking up 24 hour booking records in Stillwater. Instead of checking two systems, you will only need one. The county detention center has the capacity to handle the extra volume. With 404 beds and a modern facility, the county is well equipped to take on all Stillwater bookings.
Stillwater Police Records Division
The Stillwater Police Department records unit handles arrest report requests and case file copies. The office is at 723 S Lewis St, Stillwater. Phone is 405-372-4171. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. You can also email requests to policerecords@stillwater.org.
Copies cost $0.25 per page under the Oklahoma Open Records Act. The law at 51 O.S. 24A.8 requires release of arrest and booking data. Agencies have up to 10 business days to respond, though most requests get handled faster. Certified copies run up to $1 per page.
Stillwater PD also runs the S.A.I.D. program. This is a community safety initiative tied to the department's records and identification work. Details are available on the police department website or by calling the records line.
Juvenile records are not released. Sealed and expunged cases will not show up in any search. All other adult arrest and booking records are fully public under state law.
