Coshocton County Police Records Overview
Coshocton County Sheriff's Office Records
The Coshocton County Sheriff's Office is at 328 North 6th Street in Coshocton. The office keeps incident reports, accident reports, arrest records, and jail booking data for the county. In-person requests are taken during regular business hours. You can also call at (740) 622-2411 to ask about records or start a request over the phone.
The office works with the Coshocton Police Department and other agencies in the county. Each department keeps its own records under ORC 149.43. If an incident happened inside the city of Coshocton, the city police department may hold the report. For anything outside city limits, the Sheriff's Office is the right place to go. You do not need to say why you want the records or give your name. The office must hand over copies within a reasonable time frame.
Standard fees apply for copies. The exact cost depends on the type of document. Cash, check, and money order are the usual payment methods.
Coshocton County Weekly Jail Roster
One useful feature of the Coshocton County Sheriff's Office is the weekly jail roster. This list shows who is currently in custody at the county jail. It includes names, charges, and booking dates. The roster is posted online and updated each week.
This saves you the step of making a formal records request just to find out if someone is in jail. You can check the roster on the sheriff's website or call the office for the latest information. The roster does not include all jail records. For full booking files, bond details, or release dates, you still need to request those from the Records Division. Medical records, security procedures, and informant details are kept out of any public release.
Note: Coshocton County's weekly jail roster may not reflect same-day arrests or releases due to the update schedule.
