County profile

Police Departments. In addition to Jackson County Sheriff's Office, several city police departments operate within Jackson County, including the Medford Police Department, Ashland Police Department, and Central Point Police Department. These municipal departments handle law enforcement within their respective city limits and collaborate with the Sheriff's Office on major crimes and regional issues.
Law Enforcement & Arrests. Law enforcement in Jackson County is primarily provided by Jackson County Sheriff's Office, located at 5179 Crater Lake Highway, Central Point, OR 97502. The jail roster is updated regularly and accessible 24/7 through the Sheriff's website.

Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the old mine records
The mine records hold 940 mine sites inside the county: 429 past producers, now closed, 331 prospects or occurrences that were never worked, 156 sites producing when the record was made, 3 processing plants, which are not workings, 21 sites with no status in the record; the old survey maps add 706 holes drawn inside the county, 199 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are Gold; construction sand and gravel; Mercury.
A point in either file is a location, not a property line: the sheet shows the opening on the surface, not the rooms under it. The record that shows what runs under a parcel is the mine map. The OSMRE National Mine Map Repository holds scanned underground mine maps and answers requests for a named mine or an area. Oregon has no state abandoned mine land program page; abandoned mine hazards on federal land are a BLM and Forest Service matter.
Rows taken off the old survey maps open the USGS record of what sits at that spot, because no single feature on those maps has a page of its own. Rows from the mine records open their own USGS page.
Oregon abandoned mine maps ranks every county and town in the state by the workings recorded inside it, names the office that holds the mine maps, and says what to do if the ground moves.
Disclaimer: The mine information here is for general information only. Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there. Check with the mine map office named here before you rely on it, and have a qualified engineer look at any ground you are worried about.

Know before you ask
Each figure below was read on the official source linked beside it, October to November 2026. A fee or rule the source does not state is left out rather than guessed, and offices can change their schedules, so confirm on the source before you pay or travel.
The Jackson recorded-document research guide distinguishes searches after January 1, 1984 from earlier instruments. Earlier records need an instrument number or volume/page rather than a name alone. The Assessor sales history and deed card can provide those historical references. Ownership deeds can be viewed with a watermark; an ordinary-copy cart is downloadable after purchase, while a cart containing certified copies requires staff processing and postal delivery. Ordinary copies start at $4 and certified copies at $7.75, with $0.25 for each further page per document and a card-service charge.
The Digital Research Room subscription page offers access to non-confidential recorded material at $50 monthly, $150 quarterly, $300 semiannually or $600 annually. It links the activation/renewal form and provides the Recording Clerk mailing address. An occasional deed request can use the public purchase route; repeated research may call for the subscription product. Before paying, confirm the collection and copy privileges needed for the project. A subscription does not make confidential records public or turn a search result into a title examination.
The marriage-copy instructions place licenses issued after January 1, 1985 in the Digital Research Room and direct older-license requests to staff. An ordinary marriage copy is $4; a certified copy is $7.75, with $4 for each additional certified copy of the same license. Counter and mail ordering are also described. Retain the issuing county and both names, particularly where a ceremony location might be mistaken for the office that issued and filed the license.
The Clerk vital-record referral says the Clerk cannot issue certified birth or death copies. The local Vital Records route handles birth certificates through the day before the infant reaches six months and death certificates within six months of death. Older certificate requests go to Oregon Vital Records. Select the required death-certificate form before ordering; the office distinguishes short and long forms. A marriage copy in the Clerk system does not establish that birth and death certificates are stored in the same searchable collection.
The Circuit Court case-file procedure provides lobby kiosks for newer cases and Public Room retrieval for older material that has not been digitized. Staff calculate the charge after receiving the request; payment precedes copying, and postage is added for mailed delivery. The published estimate is five business days from payment, with longer requests possible. Exemplified copies take an additional two to three days. Specify the order or pleading needed and whether ordinary, certified or exemplified authentication is required.
The Recording Office schedule closes the counter from 11:15 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. and has earlier service cutoffs for marriage licenses and plats. That schedule should not be applied to the Circuit Court Public Room. The court separately lists case-file copies, audio requests and written transcripts in its court-record directory. If the needed evidence is what was said at a hearing, identify the hearing and the requested audio or transcript product instead of ordering an unrelated docket printout.

Straight answers

Booking photos are kept by the agency that made the arrest, such as the Jackson County Sheriff or a city police department in Jackson County. Ask that agency for its record. Under ORS 133.870, as amended by Senate Bill 993 (2025), a law enforcement agency may not release a booking photo except to the person shown, other law enforcement, the victim, a party in the criminal case, the court, a licensed investigator or a state mental hospital, to the public when there is a law enforcement purpose such as catching a fugitive, or after a conviction that results from that arrest.
The Oregon criminal history record comes from the Oregon State Police, Criminal Justice Information Services. Request a name based Open Record on another person through the OSP Open Records Portal (ORS 181A.245), or mail the form, a fingerprint card and the fee for a copy of your own record; OSP takes public fingerprints only at its Salem headquarters. Fee: $33 for an Open Record name search on another person; $33.00 for a fingerprint based copy of your own record.
