Major County Sheriff 24 Hour Booking

The Major County Sheriff's Office is the sole law enforcement agency that runs the county jail in Fairview. All 24 hour booking records start here. When someone is arrested anywhere in the county, they get taken to the jail for processing. Staff record the person's name, date of birth, charges, arresting agency, and bond amount.
