Comanche County Sheriff and Jail Roster
The Comanche County Sheriff's Office is the primary law enforcement agency in the county. Comanche County makes the current jail roster available through the county website. The roster is published as a PDF document at comanchecountytx.gov and is updated regularly to reflect the current inmate population.
The PDF roster contains detailed information for each inmate. You can find the inmate's name, arresting agency, docket numbers, charge descriptions, bond type, and bond amount. Arrest dates and booking dates are listed for each person. The roster also shows whether bonds are active, surety, or cash type. This format makes it easy to review all current inmates and filter by name or charge type when looking for a specific individual.
To search for a current or former inmate, visit the Sheriff's Office website and navigate to the Inmate Search or Jail Roster section. The roster is updated at least daily, with some records refreshed as often as every 15 minutes during active booking periods. Inmate information includes full name, physical characteristics, mugshot, booking number, booking date and time, charges, and bond amount.
