The Comanche County Detention Center is at 315 SW 5th Street, Lawton, OK 73501. Jail Administrator David Weber runs the facility. The administration phone is (580) 250-1902 and the detention phone is (580) 353-4280. The online inmate search lets you look up current and past inmates by name.

Comanche County Court Records
Comanche County District Court records are on the Oklahoma State Courts Network for free. You can search criminal, civil, family, and probate cases by name or case number. The database updates regularly with filings and dispositions. This is the fastest way to pull up case data tied to Comanche County busted mugshots.
On Demand Court Records is the second free system. ODCR covers the same court data and sometimes shows records before OSCN does. Both sites are free and need no account. If you want full coverage of a Comanche County case, check both systems.
Lawton Municipal Court records are separate. Those cases involve city ordinance violations and are handled by the Lawton Municipal Court. They may not show up on OSCN or ODCR. Contact the city court directly for those records.
Note: Fort Sill is a federal military installation within Comanche County, so arrests on base are handled by military police and fall under federal jurisdiction, not the county system.

VINE is free and runs 24 hours a day. The toll-free number is 877-654-8463. If someone is not on the county roster, VINE may show they have been transferred or released.

Comanche County Busted Mugshots and the Law
The Oklahoma Open Records Act (Title 51 O.S. § 24A.1 et seq.) makes Comanche County busted mugshots public. Section 24A.8 covers law enforcement records. The detention center must provide name, date of birth, address, race, sex, physical description, arrest cause, and the name of the arresting officer for any adult booking. The 2012 AG opinion (2012 OK AG 22) confirmed that mugshots are a physical description and must be released on request.
Active investigation records can be held for up to 120 days or until ten days past arraignment. Juvenile records stay sealed. Records expunged under Title 22 O.S. § 18 are removed from public access. The OSBI CHIRP portal handles formal criminal history checks for fifteen dollars per name under Title 74 § 150.9. The sex offender registry and the Mary Rippy Violent Crime Offender Registry (57 O.S. § 593) are two dollars each through CHIRP.
