Canadian County Overview
Canadian County Sheriff's Office
The Canadian County Sheriff's Office runs the detention center and keeps all local arrest records. The sheriff's office sits at 208 S. Evans Avenue in El Reno. You can call 405-262-3434 for the main line or reach the detention center at 405-262-0042. Office hours run Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM. The jail itself stays open around the clock for custody checks and bond postings.
Canadian County is one of the larger jail systems in central Oklahoma. The average daily population is about 300 inmates. Because of overcrowding, the county has had to house some inmates in Grant, Dewey, Washita, Ellis, and Pottawatomie County facilities. The sheriff's office also runs a Work Release Center for minimum-security inmates. Canadian County law enforcement received the Oklahoma Attorney General's Safe Oklahoma Grant for 2024, worth $56,735, to support public safety work across the county.
